DRAFT

September 30, 2004

= contents subject to change =

This draft copy is being submitted

for evaluation of print quality and iden-

tiﬁcation of any other issues-please

do not use for ﬁnal publication!! It

was composed as follows:

1. Written using Scientiﬁc WorkPlace V5 (this produces Latex output and then a dvi

ﬁle), Scientiﬁc WorkPlace web site is at http://www.mackichan.com/

2. A ‘Style File’ ﬁle was created using Style Editor in Scientiﬁc WorkPlace ; this ﬁle

has been continuously revised to improve the appearance (e.g., margins, headers, location

of page numbers, etc.).

3. The dvi ﬁle created by Latex was then printed to a postscript ﬁle using AdobePS

generic postscript driver on Windows 2000 operating system.

4. AdobePS was tweaked as suggested in the website

http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/~herzbea/makeP.htm which stated following for maximizing qual-

ity of output:

“ After you install the printer, you may want to ﬁne-tune its properties. To do so, open

again the Printers setting folder, and right click on the printer

select ‘Properties‘. Under

‘Device Settings‘, set very low values (e.g. 5) to the following two parameters:

Minimum font size to download as outline

Maximum font size to download as bitmap

Next, go to the ‘Advanced‘ tab, and from there, select ‘Printing Defaults. . . ‘. In the

window that opens, select ‘Document options‘, then ‘Postscript options‘. Set the following

two options:

PostScript Output Option: Optimize for Portability

TrueType Font Download Option: Outline”

Note: the above suggestions were for MS Imagesetter driver, but this driver failed to

print some ﬁgures properly so the AdobePS was substituted instead and works much better.

5. The postscript ﬁle can be read with no difﬁculties using GhostScript 4.3 on my

Pentium IV running Windows 2000 and gives good quality printed output from Ghostscript

on my HP Laserjet 6MP postscript printer (600dpi).
