Hi,
I’m trying to make some output creations that saves my run as .ps. It seems that there are restrictions for the final sheet size.
297mm or less. Is there a specific reason for this, and is the some sort of way to overwrite this?
I’m guessing you’re using the Generic PostScript Level 3 Printer Definition, right?
That PDC is configured with a max paper size of A4, so 297mm wide and 420mm tall. Your configuration should work if you reverse your height and width and allow the portrait/landscape orientation setting to do it’s thing.
Alternatively, you could consider manually altering the PDC. You’ll find it here:
C:\Users\[UserName]\Connect\workspace\configurations\PrinterDefinitionConfig
Just make a copy of it and open it in your text editor of choice. It’s a simple XML format. You’re looking for the Capabilities section and you’ll want to modify the maximum dimensions values.
<capabilities speedPPM="100" speedMPS="100" printerType="CUTSHEET" nativeSlipSheetSupport="false" jog="false" plex="NONE" printerTech="NONE" resolution="300">
<pluginId>0</pluginId>
<maximumDimensions width="297mm" height="420mm"></maximumDimensions>
<inputTrays></inputTrays>
<outputTrays></outputTrays>
</capabilities>
You’ll also want to rename it internally (the name node at the top of the file) to avoid interferring with the one that comes with the software.
Finally, re-import your copy into Designer and select it instead of the default Generic one. Just be sure to keep backups of everything in case it doesn’t work.
