Are their any advantages of selecting Postscript over PCL?

I would be interested in any views on the selection of SAP Device types, specifically for HP laser printers.  Traditionally I have always used the device specific PCL device types readily available but it appears that more and more printer vendors now produce postscript device types for SAP and I have noted that some vendors actually recommend Postscript over PCL - Dell for example.
Does anyone out there have a view for HP?  Might the recommendation be dependant on the output type for example - e.g. ADS, Smartforms, SAPscript  etc

Hi Nick,
I always prefer Postscript (devtype POST2) over a specific PCL as you can use this on all printers that support postscript (Which is pretty much every printer these days). So if your printer supports Postscript I would use POST2 otherwise PCL is fine if your print outs look ok.
Hope this helps
Michael

  • Are there any advantages of using Secure Empty Trash over regular Empty Trash?

    Are there any advantages of using Secure Empty Trash over regular Empty Trash?

    If you are going to run around with sensitive files on your file system, you might be better off using a whole disk encryption so that every file is encrypted, any deleted file contains encrypted contents.  As long a no one can access your files using your encrytpion keys, all your data is secure.
    Also secure delete is not really going to do much on a Solid State Drive, and again whole disk encryption would be a better choice.
    For a moderate amount of data, secure erase does not take too much time. But if you have a ton of file and/or a few really large files to erase, secure erase can take a long time to complete as it is doing multiple pass to write and overwrite the file's storage with patterns of data that make it extremely difficult to recover the original data.  That takes time.
    Finally, if you have been updating a document, previous editions may have been given over to free storage as new versions are written, such that when you decide to erase the file you may only be doing secure erase on the most recent copy.

  • I'm buying a new computer for use with Creative Cloud. Are there any advantages to PC vs Mac?

    I'm replacing a seven year old Dell that still works but is getting rather long in the tooth. I have CS4 web design. (For PC)
    I have a Macbook Pro (so I'm familar with Mac OS)
    I'm upgrading my computer to mainly use the Creative Cloud.
    Are there any advantages (related to Creative Cloud) to buying a Mac or a PC?
    I just don;t wan't to a Mac and then find that many features don;t work that are on the PC (or vice versa)
    Or is one interface easier to use than another?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It usually boils down to personal preference.
    The software is, to all intents and purposes, the same in either operating system. There are minor differences between them, usually related to the hardware or the operating system. But if you can use the software in Windows, you'll be able to use it on a Mac too.
    It's a matter of which environment you prefer: Windows or Mac. I use both daily since the Cloud allows you to install on Windows and/or Mac.

  • Are their any perfromancepatches for the 2.8ghz imac with AMD 2600 graphics

    the graphics performance on my new 2.8 imac is slower than the 2.33 i bought 11 months ago.
    I dont get this. if your trying to save money then at least use the last generation graphics chip vs installing a new poor performer like the 2600?
    Are their any patches out there to fix the performance?
    this is so bad its like a defect. This is ashame given that the CPU and HDD are good performers.

    play 3 different modern 3D games on each machine. very noticeable.

  • Is there any advantage in using Vault over Time Machine?

    Hi all,
    Yesterday I imported around 6000+ pictures from iPhoto and consolidated them into my Aperture library. After much re-organisation into projects, folders etc. I decided to update my backup Vault to preserve all my hard work. The Vault is located on a connected external drive with plenty of spare storage. I had previously backed up successfully to the vault when there was only a few dozen pictures in my library.
    After initiating the Vault update process I then left it to get on it (and to have dinner and then watch the football...) and after several hours was dismayed to find that the process appeared to be stuck at just over 50% completion. It was obvious that no further progress was being made.
    I was also concerned that there appeared to be no mechanism to cancel the process and the only course of action I could take was to apply a Force Quit against Aperture - not something that I care to do, if I can possibly avoid it.
    After a rudimentary search of this community I saw that several others had experienced the same problem - although some suggested that a fix had been applied in recent versions (although I am running the latest version).
    Given this, I'm reluctant to use the Vault again - particularly as there appears to be no means of cancelling a stuck job. I do however use Time Machine, so my questions are:
    1) Do I really need to use Vault if I have Time Machine making regular backups of my Aperture library to an external drive?
    2) Does using Vault give any advantages over Time Machine?
    3) Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the current version of Aperture (v3.3)?
    4) Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
    Thanks in anticipation,
    Simon.

    SImon,
    Vault and Time Machine address different needs. Probably you will want to have both.
    The advantage of Time Machine: incremental backups of previous versions, very compact storage. And you can integrate it into your regular backup of the whole system and include the regular masters as well. But the disadvantage: Time Machine decides for you, what will be deleted, if the backup drives get full. You do not have control over what will be saved and what not from the previous versions.
    The advantage of vaults: You can make full backups of your library for well defined moments in time - snapshots of important states. I'd create a vault, whenever I make a major upgrade of the system at least.
    Is there anyway of cancelling a stuck Vault update other than the sledgehammer approach of Force Quit?
    If the graphical user interface is unresponsive, like when updating a vault, you can use the Terminal to send the "termination signal" to Aperture: Sometimes this will succeed, even if the "Quit" button does not work:
    Look for the Process ID of Aperture in the Activity Monitor (launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor" and click the CPU heading. This will bring Aperture close to the top of the list. Make a note of the PID number in the first column, in this case 66550.
    Launch a Terminal window and enter the following command:
    kill -TERM 66550           (insert Aperture's PID instead of 66550)
    This will send the "Software Termination Signal - TERM to Aperture, the same as pressing the "Quit" button should do, but send it directly, and not from the GUI that is unresponsive. This way I always succeded in cancelling a vaul update without force quitting. Not all processes can be terminated this way, however. The Terminal.app is also in the Applications > Utilities folder.

  • Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently are their any data services provided to do this?

    1. Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently?
    2. Will it process it node by node or the entire file at a time?
    3. Are there any data services provided to do this?
    This for a project use case i also have an requirement to process bulk XML files, suggest me to accomplish this task

    Hi Patrick,
         I am addressing the similar issue. "Getting data from huge XMLs into Hana."
    Using Odata services can we handle huge data (i.e create schema/load into Hana) On-the-fly ?
    In my scenario,
    I get a folder of different complex XML files which are to be loaded into Hana database.
    Then I gotta transform & cleanse the data.
    Can I use oData services to transform and cleanse the data ?
    If so, how can I create oData services dynamically ?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Are There Any Advantages To High Resolution Displays?

    I am looking to buy a new 17 inch MacBook Pro at the end of this month and seeking practical advice on configuration options I should choose.
    I am curious about what other people think of the advantages and disadvantages of the high resolution displays. Perhaps it is just a personal preference on the part of different users but non-graphics users I have talked to who have used the high res screens say they don't like them and why but I have yet to talk to any artists who have used them and whether artists find real advantages. My feeling is that it would be good to be able to fit a larger (more pixels) image on the screen or is it better to just leave high res screens to those who work with high definition video/animation?
    My usage of the computer is largely in Photoshop and other graphics programs like Painter, and web design.

    Just to be clear, though, reducing the resolution of an LCD can have a negative effect on image quality. LCDs have an optimal "native" resolution and setting the resolution below that native level results in a poorer quality image.
    Leopard claims "resolution independence" - I have not tried it yet, but if you read the description of this feature, you will note that it applies to the user interface elements. Granted, that's often what you notice the most (i.e. the problem with reducing the resolution below native for an LCD is that the text in Finder, all of the menu bar items, etc., looks "fuzzy"). By appropriately scaling the UI elements, Leopard overcomes the limitation. But the "fuzzyness" will still apply to non-UI things that are displayed - i.e. images. Since based on your posts you will be working with images primarily, high-res vs. standard is still a choice I'd recommend considering carefully, and ideally by trying them both side-by-side.
    Ps. Thanks for awarding points!

  • Question: Are there any advantages for stored procedure for data block?

    There are two ways to create data block:
    1. query table or view or
    2. stored procedure.
    After 9i, AS has a PL/SQL compiler. Do we still see the advantage of using stored procedure, as claimed that it is faster due to the stored procedure always compiled?
    Thank you in advance.
    Jimmy

    Jimmy,
    The "fast" side is not the only one benefit of stored procedures.
    Of course, you can use the BULK COLLECT functionality which is not available into Forms.
    But stored procedure is a good way to perform the following actions:
    complex handeling of datas (insert, update or delete that generate severals actions on other tables).
    externalization/centralisation of business rules.(separate the design and functionnal work).
    more secutity, because you can prohibit manipulation of datas outside of the procedures.
    You can change the rules without modify the forms.
    etc.

  • Are there any advantages to using a Data Value Reference for LabVIEW Classes?

    Hi
    I recently came across an example where the developer had used a data value reference for the class cluster in LabVIEW.
    What are the advantages of doing this?
    Doesn't the use of LV objects already avoid the creation of multiple copies of data thereby reducting memory usage?
    Thanks
    AD

    LabVIEW's OOP is implemented as a By Value.  This means, as Tst stated, branches in wires could mean copies in the object.  The DVR is a way to make it By Reference.

  • Are their any graphics cards supported above gtx 690

    So I am starting school and I wanted to make sure the laptop I buy is supported fully. I was looking at the list of supported graphics cards for After Effects and i noticed that the 700s and 800s are not listed. I am thinking it may be that the list is just out of date (I hope)
    thank you in advance for your input.

    a simple Google search brings up the official list:
    System requirements | After Effects
    Any other cards may or may not work for GPU accelerated effects in AE using the Ray-traced rendering system, but this rendering engine is obsolete and will not be undergoing any further development.
    A better list to look at are the Mercury playback supported cards for Premiere Pro.
    System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro
    I would make my choice from this list.

  • Let me know, are their any add-on which will prevent internet disconnection if it is idle for a few mts ?

    My problem is that if my internet connection is idle even for a few seconds it disconnects, so I suggest that Firefox should develop such adds-on which will solve my above problem because I have to go on downloading some thing if I have to read some pages in the net. I am not alone, there are many with this problem and all will be benefited if the adds-on I have suggested is developed .

    You had mentioned about a web page re loader and my problem is that my net connection is disconnected if it is idle for few seconds but if start downloading some thing then its chances of disconnected are less , so will this adds-on you had mentioned will work .

  • Are their any directions........

    I finally installed Virtual PC and installed the Zen software. But I can't find any directions or answers about trouble shooting.......u know.....usually when u buy something, it comes w/directions? I assumed that they were located on the software because the "little" book that came in the box wuz basically useless.

    I'm finally getting it to charge, but it's stuck in the same window that says;
    .Clean Up
    2.Format All
    3.Reload Firmware
    4.Reboot
    How do I get out of it's

    I think there is a manual on the CD, but you can also download both the quickstart guide and user manual from the support pages.
    You solved this problem though didn't you, based on your other thread?

  • Are their any tutorials out  there for begginers of Logic Pro 7...

    I'm really starting to feel kinda stupid with this logic pro 7 program somebody please help me! if not i'm realling thinking about selling my laptop and logic pro 7 to get a akai mpc 2500.....

    Here's some starting points:
    http://www.apple.com/logicpro/resources.html
    I highly recommend starting with one of the Logic tutorial DVD's that actually show and tlak you through things, like the Martin Sitter ones, which will get you started.
    Failing that, a friend who's knowledgable in the ways of Logic to help you set it up on your system for your own workflow is the absolute best way.

  • Does the new Thunderbolt display have any advantages over the current 27" iMac

    Other than being 3kg lighter and including a sub (2.1 stereo system) rather than just stereo speakers, are there any advantages of the new Thunderbolt display over the current 27" iMac?
    We need a new desktop very soon, and will eventually upgrade to an Mac Pro (not until a post Lion version comes out with Thunderbolt built in).  We were contemplating a MacMini Server and a Thunderbolt display, but for only a little extra (weight and cash) we could get a more powerfull 27" iMac.  Are there any benefits of the Thunderbolt display that are not included in the top end 27" iMac?  I'm assuming it's just the same 27" LED backlit TFT LCD with IPS...
    In the end we would probably end up using the iMac or display as a display for a Mac Pro (we're photographers), so if there are significant benefits of the Thunderbolt Display, we'll just get it with the Mini as a stopgap.

    The only real advantage of the new 27" ACD is that you can easily move it from one unit to another (Mini to MBP to Pro, etc).  If you bought a 27" iMac you could always hook up another display to the iMac and run dual monitors fairly easily.
    The advantage of the Pro is that you can add a bigger video card, lots more RAM and up to 4 hard drives.  If you plan on buying a Pro as soon as it comes out, get the Mini, if not get the iMac (it will save you a bit of space over a ACD and a Mini).  I think the real question is, what do you think you are going to use more in the future.
    And yes, the 27" iMac and the 27" ACD use the same IPS screen.
