The Windows Separator Page Page (he he)
Windows NT and 2000 has the option of printing a job Separator page at
the beginning of each job
Under your driver properties, click the advanced tab, separator page
Some native sep pages live in C:\WINNT\system32\
Pcl.sep: Switches a dual-language printing device to PCL printing, and
prints a separator page at the beginning of each print job.
Pscript.sep: Switches a dual-language printing device to PostScript
printing, but does not print a separator page at the beginning of each
print job.
Sysprint.sep: Switches a dual-language printing device to PostScript
printing, and prints a separator page at the beginning of each print
job.
I found that the pcl.sep page produces a far too simple page and I was
getting weird errors with sysprint.sep
So I deviced to look into it and either write one or modify one
I found a great sep page on the internet a while back but I can no
longer find the creater. Luckily I have a copy of it here
I originally followed along with the Windows NT4 resource guide to
modify the code
Now you can simply follow along with this Microsoft Knowledge base
article 102712
- HOW TO: Configure a Separator Page on a Windows NT 4.0-Based Computer
You can get this custom PCL separator page here
BTW, if your printed output is not centered, look at
\H1B\L&a30L
Adjust the number 30 to taste
