Printer rips through the whole document before it starts to print

Thank you everyone for the answers to my previous post. Another Postscript problem which we are now trying to solve,
is the following printer behaviour:  getting our postscript datastream, printer first goes through the whole document,
ripping every page (or so it seems) and only then it starts printing the first page and further. Our datastreams are usually
large, tens thousandth of pages, so it takes very long before a printer starts to print. What could cause such a behaviour?
Something at the end of the file, which interpreter needs to take into account? Some special settings at prologue?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Yuliana

What you describe is not normal behaviour for PostScript implementations and is not something that is a feature of the PostScript language. The interpreter does not attempt to process the entire job prior to passing any of the rendered pages off to be imaged.
You give no idea as to what type or brand of PostScript printer is exhibiting this behaviour, but the behaviour is likely type and/or model and/or vendor-specific. Contact the technical support group for your printer or RIP vendor for specific answers to this question.

  • How to edit linked text in an Indesign long document without it effecting the whole document

    I want to work out how to edit text in indesign without the rest scrolling
    I have a large 200 page book.  The text was supplied in Word and I have placed the whole document automatically and now I am going through each page doing my magic with pics, stylesheets etc.
    When the client comes back with edits, I am concerned that deleted or adding in text will scroll the text to the next chapter, etc etc.  This will be a nightmare.  Not sure how to unlink say 5 pages or so that are in each chapter so I can edit easily without the whole document being effected.
    Apologies I am probably not explaining myself all that well.

    john the link is broken
    I can see there are scripts but I don't want each page separate rather each chapter (each chapter can go for 2 or 7 pages)
    I am only 35 pages or so into the book and if I have to I can re place the text with some work, ie start again with the text pages.
    seems sily though that I cannot split the threaded stories a few pages at a time.
    The link is now fixed.
    You can split the threaded story into separate stories anywhere in the thread. At the chapter breaks seems logical. There are many users who'll assert all sorts of right/wrong at you when it comes to threading text. For my purposes, I set up long documents much the way you propose; threading articles, stories, or chapters discreetly; rarely would I ever thread an entire long document as one. It's a preference, not a rule. Each way has benefits and pitfalls.

  • How can I insert a line that extends from a word without it affecting the formatting of the WHOLE document?

    I am trying to create a simple form for people to print out and fill in. I want fields like 'Name' with a line extending from the word for people to write on. What should be the simplest of tasks has confounded me for HOURS. Inserting a line as a 'shape' or 'drawing with pen' just messes up the formatting of the whole document. I've used Pages 'Help' but it almost forced me to staple my eyelids to the carpet. Surely there is a SIMPLE way to do this. I even tried 'tricking' Pages by 'underlining' a row of spaces. It won't even allow you to do this because Pages is far more clever than a human.
    My cat is looking at me with increasing consternation.

    I would use a right-aligned tab with an underline leader.

  • I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen.  I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result.  Two days wasted!

    I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen.  I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result.  Two days wasted and I can't use my computer!!

    I don't know if you've already resolved your problem, but I had the same thing, it took me 6 hours to fix it. I had the exact same as you, installed the update and then it went to a white screen. After trying start up holding down cmmd r or holding down the alt key to try to install it again, nothing worked, same result every time. Then an angel came to me here somewhere but I can't find it now to thank him. Start in safe mode, press shift once you hear the start up chime and hold it down until you hear it again. Installation completion box came up and it was working. turn off computer and start up again normally and all is well. Except my final cut pro x doesn't work with it, have to update that now too. same as when I updated to mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

  • It says it needs to be connected to itunes and restored.  when i do that, it goes through the whole process then comes up with "iphone could not be restored. unknown error code (-1)".  Please help

    My brother gave me his old iphone when the touch screen went out on mine.  It's in great shape but when I received it, it says that it needs to be connected to itunes to be restored.  I have done this and it goes through the whole process then says iphone "iphone" could not be restored.  unknown error code (-1).  There is not a -1 code on the list and I have tried most of the suggestions.
    Does my sim card need to be in when I am doing this?  And any other suggestions?

    I did put it in DFU mode but its still not working, although everytime it shows your iphone needs to be restored. Kindly help.

  • Reverse the material document before cancelling the excise invoice.

    Dear Experts,
    While cancelling the exice invoice thru J1iex , system is giving me an error message "Reverse the material document before cancelling the excise invoice" .......I checked PO history where all the material documents are already cancelled with MIGO cancellation (movement 106 )
    But in J1iex , if I select the cancel option and put this invoice number , it is showing me one document with status "IN PROCESS" and if I select that doc and try to save it. System prompted me the message "Reverse the material document before cancelling the excise invoice ,but if I am trying to post this document system is issuing me a message "All Part I entries have been canceled for excise invoice ...........xx.Exicse table J_1IGRXREF and J_1IPART1 alrady update with both documents.kindly any one suggest me positive.
    MINI

    Hello
    follow the below steps
    1. MIGO:Cancel the material document (movement type 102) & during cancellation update part1 only. This changes the excise invoice document status to In process
    2. J1IEX:Post the excise invoice referring the material document (of movement type 102). Creates an accounting document to reverse the CENVAT postings. Creates a corresponding entry in Part II of the appropriate excise register
    Thus the excise postings are reversed.
    3.J1IEX: Cancel the excise invoice (Do this if your plant does not allow multiple goods receipts per excise invoice).Now the system will allow you to cancel the vendor excise invoice
    above the procedure right. you will get this updation excise registers also

  • How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
    As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

    In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.

    How do I change font in the whole document at the same time?

    Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer

    Download and read page 27 on creating and using Styles, which is done largely by example ie you make the text what you want then save it as a Style to be applied wherever you want in the document from the Styles Drawer.

  • When I attach a PDF document in mail only the first page appears. How do I get the whole document to work

    Title says it all. I go to attach file add the fild and the first page shows up in the body of the email. How do I get the whole document to show up?

    You can't get the whole document to appear on your side.
    When you send it, the entire document will be sent.  Normally, clicking on it will open it in preview where you can see all pages.  If you want to see it in this way, just cc: or bcc: yourself on the email when you send it.

    You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer.  It should recreate all your folders.  It can't hurt anything to try.

  • Send pages document as pdf attachment without including the whole document in the message

    What I am trying to do is to write a document in pages then send it as a pdf attachment which shows as a mail icon in the mail message.  One then clicks on the icon and the attached file opens.  Seems I can do it if I send it as a word doc but every time I try and send it as a PDF the whole document shows up in the email body....
    Is there something I am not doing?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    Hi Gee,
    We also tried this:
    Wrote document in Pages and used "export" to save it as a PDF document.
    Fired up Mail, clicked on add attachment and as usual we got the document in the body
    Highlighted the document and right clicked.
    In drop down menu we selected "show as Icon" and it did just that
    We then sent it to our Tablet where, believe it or not it came up as an attachment NOT in the body of the mail.
    Just shaking our heads on this on but I do really think Jerry is absolutely right so will not take any more chances and add a second page if I have to send a pdf......
