EHANDLER.PS             The error handler program
			Copyright (c) 1984, 1985, 1986
			Adobe Systems Incorporated.

PSINFO.PS               A short program that prints a very
			small amount of printer information
			and acknowledges that the error
			handler has been downloaded.

PSSEND1.BAT             A batch file to copy both PS files
			to a printer on LPT1.

PSSEND2.BAT             The same batch file set up for LPT2.

PSERROR.ICO             A Windows icon file.

-------------------------------------------------------------

These files should all reside in the same directory.

Either one of the .PS files may be copied directly to the 
printer from the DOS prompt (COPY EHANDLER.PS LPT1) or the
batch file may used to send both of them. If your printer is
connected to LPT1 then you should use PSSEND1.BAT. If your
printer is on LPT2 then you should use PSSEND2.BAT. If you
are using another port you will need to edit the batch file
(e.g. remark out the reference to LPT1 and enable the line
that corresponds to the correct port). You may use any ASCII
text editor such as EDIT or NOTEPAD.

To set up an icon on the Windows desktop, the following steps
should be taken:

>Select the group where the icon will reside.
>Open the File menu and select 'New'.
>Select 'Program item' and hit 'Ok'.
>Hit the 'Browse' button and select the directory
  where the files are located.
>Select the PSSEND1.BAT file and hit 'Ok'.
>Hit the 'Change icon' button and then the 'Browse' button.
>Select the directory where the files reside.
>Select the PSERROR.ICO file and hit 'Ok'.
>Hit 'Ok' again.
>Type in a name (Error Handler) in the Description field
  and hit 'Ok'.

The most common error encountered when printing graphics
files is the LIMITCHECK error.  This type of error can arise
if a PostScript limitation has been exceeded.  This can be
caused by commands such as EOFILL, EOCLIP, STROKE, FILL and
CURVETO.  These operators are all sensitive to the resolution
of the PostScript device to some extent.  The end result is 
usually an object(s) that are too complex, most often a curve
with an excess of 300-400 nodes.  Although PostScript is a
very universal language, these errors will sometimes not
become apparent until the file is printed on a high-end
imagesetter.  There will typically be many more line segments
when flattening a path on a high resolution device than on a 
low resolution (300-600 dpi) device, hence the susceptibility
to complexity problems.  The frequency of this type of error
will be substantially lower on Level 2 devices due to dynamic
stack and Virtual Memory allocation.
