   HP LaserJet 4 Family Printers, HP DeskJet C/PS printer, and the HP
   PaintJet XL300/PS printer - Sample PostScript (TM) Level 2 files 
   
             
                 
                 ISSUE: Sample PostScript (TM) Level 2 files on the HP
                 LaserJet 4 family, HP DeskJet 1200C/PS, and the HP
                 PaintJet XL300/PS printers.
                 
                 
                 SOLUTION: Once communication with the printer has been
                 established, these files can be used to verify
                 PostScript capability or features on Hewlett-Packard
                 printers. The files can be copied character by character
                 when creating your own file and should work as is.
                 Additionally, lines which start with '%' (not '%!') are
                 comment lines and may be omitted. The following example
                 shows how to create a file using the DOS copy con
                 utility. All programs in this document should follow the
                 outline of this example.
                  
                      
                      NOTE: Anything shown within '[ ]' is an instruction
                      to press that key.
             
                 
                 C:\>copy con clippath (or some other filenameother than
                 clippath) [Enter]
                 
                 %![Enter]
                 
                 %![Enter]
                 
                 clippath stroke showpage [Ctrl] [D] (then) [Ctrl][Z]
                 [Enter]
                 
                 (make sure the printer is in PostScript mode and then:)
                 
                 C:\>copy clippath LPT1 (or the port that the printer is
                 attached to) [Enter]
                  
                      
                      NOTE: The [Ctrl] [D] is an end of job command for
                      PostScript. This command should be at the end of
                      the PostScript sample programs. The [Ctrl] [Z] is
                      the copy con command to close the file and should
                      also be at the end of each sample program.
   
       
       The following sample PostScript files are common to the HP
       LaserJet 4 printer family of printers. Code that is unique to each
       printer will follow:
