To generate PostScript data from your computer you will have to add a printer driver that has both large paper sizes and can output PostScript data files. PostScript data is the way that your Gen-Chart is sent to our printer. The PostScript data contains the fonts and graphics that will generate your chart.

 

On Windows and Macintosh the best way to output PostScript data is to download from Adobe their printer driver AdobePS 4.3 Setup Utility. You want to scroll down to Printer Driver. Now select Macintosh or Windows. Within Windows select NT or 95/98 by language.

 

Adobe’s setup utility will ask for a Postscript Printer Description file (.ppd). Download our ppd.

Download Gen-Chrt.ppd. If this file is opened as a text file, Pick File then Save As and save the file on your computer. On some computers the system will add a .txt extension to the filename. Please remove this extension as Adobe will be looking for a (.ppd). Place this file where you can find it. Follow the Adobe setup instructions. Your printer will be a “Local printer” and you want your output to go to a “FILE”. Now give the printer a name that you will remember (ie. Genealogy Charts). This new version of Adobe Printer Driver does not install a Printer Setup program like the previous versions. If you want to install more PostScript printers you need to re-execute the Setup Utility each time.

 

Until our Web page is completed you will have to attach your data file to an e-mail message. Send your e-mail to cadftp@tstonramp.com. Attach your data file to an e-mail message. If you are using Eudora select Message then Attach File. Now locate the data file that you are sending. Remember to send your instructions and mailing address in the e-mail message until our shopping cart system is working.
