PostScript Printer Driver Features • Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) You can produce EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files of a SINGLE PAGE created in one application and insert it into a document in another application. The contents of the page can include any combination of text, graphics, and images. You can also use the EPS file for creating archives and for printing documents on remote printers (such as printers at a service bureau). It is generally best to use an application to create EPS files. When this is not possible, you can set up the DocuPrint printer driver to create EPS files (select EPS as the Job Type). The EPS files created by the printer driver, however, do not include on-screen preview images. When placed in a document, EPS files created by the driver appear as blank spaces, as black boxes, or as boxes with X's, which are placeholders for the image. When printed, the EPS image will appear on the page as expected. Not all applications can place EPS files in their documents, so be sure to check your application documentation to see if it supports the use of Encapsulated PostScript files. • Archive Format This option improves file portability because it suppresses many of the settings that might be specific to a particular printer and might therefore prevent the file from printing. Choose this option only if you want long-term storage or intend to widely distribute a file that might be printed on unknown destination devices. Chapter 3: Printing y 3-21
