PRESS/INTERPRESS TEST PROCEDURE
|
||
|
||
Filed as {ERIS}<LISPCORE>TEST>HARDCOPY>PRESS/INTERPRESS.PROC
|
||
|
||
Follow this procedure from an 1108 or 1109 and from an 1186 with hardware and software installed as specified in Section 5 of {ERINYES}<TEST>LISP>LYRIC>PLANS>PRESS/INTERPRESS.PLAN, both with Ethernet access to both a Press and an InterPress printer.
|
||
The success criterion is that all files should print and the each printed copy should look like the same file viewed on the screen with FileBrowser's Edit option.
|
||
|
||
A. Preparation
|
||
1. Open a Common Lisp Exec window and enter
|
||
(CL:IN-PACKAGE 'XCL-USER)
|
||
Enter all subsequent commands from this window and this package.
|
||
2. Verify that {ERINYES}<LYRIC>LIBRARY> is at the head of the list IL:DIRECTORIES. If not, use CONS, PUSH or DV to put it there.
|
||
3. Enter
|
||
(IL:FILESLOAD (IL:SYSLOAD) SKETCH)
|
||
(IL:LOAD "{ERIS}<TEST>I/O>HARDCOPY>HAND>STREAMTESTS.DFASL")
|
||
IL:CONN "{ERIS}<TEST>I/O>HARDCOPY>HAND>TESTFILES>"
|
||
4. Set the variables PRESSPRINTER and IPPRINTER, respectively, to a Press and an InterPress printer to which you have Ethernet access. The easiest way to do this is to enter
|
||
(SETPRINTERS)
|
||
which sets them to the first available printer of each type on the list IL:DEFAULTPRINTINGHOST and prints their values. If a value is nil, you do not have a printer of that type on IL:DEFAULTPRINTINGHOST; if one is accessible, use APPEND, PUSH or DV to add it to the list, then re-enter (SETPRINTER). To use printers other than the first available, use SETQ on the variables above.
|
||
B. Press test
|
||
1. Enter
|
||
(DEFPRINT PRESSPRINTER)
|
||
to ensure that a Press printer is at the head of IL:DEFAULTPRINTINGHOST. The function will return the new list.
|
||
2. Enter
|
||
(SENDFILES)
|
||
to send the files in the connected directory to PRESSPRINTER. It takes about 30 minutes to print all the test files.
|
||
3. (Optional stress test) Enter
|
||
(STRESSTEST)
|
||
to send the file {ERIS}<TEST>I/O>HARDCOPY>HAND>STRESSTEST>STRESSTEST.TEDIT to PRESSPRINTER. This is a large file (~200k) and it takes a while to format and print.
|
||
|
||
C. InterPress test
|
||
1. Enter
|
||
(DEFPRINT IPPRINTER)
|
||
2. Perform steps B. 2 and B. 3.
|
||
|
||
|
||
NOTE: This procedure leaves IPPRINTER as the default printer. Use IL:DV, POP or SETQ to restore IL:DEFAULTPRINTINGHOST to its original state.
