We're in the process of testing the M602 as a potential replacement for several LaserJet 4250s. One ciritical need is support for PostScript forms that print jobs can reference. With the 4250s, we stored the forms on a CompactFlash card plugged in inside the printer. The content of the CF card was managed using WebJetAdmin. (The file system was not recognized by Windows when plugging the CF card into a memory card reader.)
The M602 has a couple of internal USB ports instead of the CF slot we use on the 4250s, so we have a USB stick plugged in there. I can't find any means of managing the content of the stick through the printer's built-in web interface so I've copied the PostScript forms file to the stick by plugging it into my computer and drag/dropping, then plugging the stick into the printer.
The printer's file directory list shows the form name ("ADM"), however, when a print job that refers to the form is submitted to the printer, it throws an error and prints nothing. Enabling printed PS errors yields "ERROR: undefinedfilename" where the top of the stack contains the form name ("(ADM)") and the bytes before the error are exactly what is expected: ^J^M^J%!PS-ADOBE^M^J(ADM) run
Does the M602 support the use of PostScript forms stored on a stick like this, the way the 4250 does with CF cards? We were led to believe it did.
If yes, am I correct in assuming that files can now be directly transferred to the stick by plugging it into a computer?
If yes to all so far, does the form name have to be formatted differently, either in the forms file or in what is transmitted to the printer, with the M602 than it is with the 4250?
I've had no luck finding anything anything in the printer's documentation or through some basic Googling, so any guidance you can provide is appreciated.
