There is an alternate method to create an EPS file. This procedure is listed below. This information is also available in the Technical Support Knowledge Base. http://www.originlab.com/www/tech/techdataform.asp

Search on the keywords: EPS alternative Leave all the other fields at their default settings.

If your graph includes text with superscript or subscript formatting, includes text with
characters from the Symbol (Greek) or Script font sets, includes an embedded Windows
Metafile or Enhanced Metafile, or uses the Origin Clip Data to Frame feature, your graph
may not be correctly exported from Origin when using the File:Export Page menu item
and selecting Encapsulated PostScript (*.EPS) from the Save as type list box. If this
problem occurs, use the procedure outlined below in Part B to create your EPS file in
Origin. Please note that you must first have a PostScript printer driver installed on your
computer before completing the instructions in Part B. If you do not already have a
PostScript printer driver installed on your computer then you will need to follow the
instructions in Part A below.

Note 1: You do not need to actually have a PostScript printer connected to your computer
to install a PostScript printer driver because you will be specifying "File" for "Print to
Port." Consequently, you can choose any PostScript printer driver that supports the EPS
output format option. It is also recommended that you choose a PostScript printer driver
that supports custom page size so that you have maximim flexibility when specifying the
dimensions of the bounding box of the output EPS image file.

Note 2: The Alternative Method for Creating an EPS File has the following limitations: 1)
The graph must have an orientation of Portrait. Landscape mode is not supported. For
printers with a custom page size this means that the page height must always be greater
than or equal to the page width. 2) EPS files created using the Adobe PostScript printer
driver can not be opened using any Adobe software products. Other than these two
limitations, the steps outlined below comprise a common and robust procedure.

Part A

1. Windows 95/98 users can install any one of several PostScript printer drivers directly
off their Windows 95/98 installation CD (or see step 2 below). Select
Start:Settings:Printers from the Windows Start menu to open the Printers folder and then
double-click the Add Printer applet. Follow the on screen instructions adding a driver for
an appropriate printer. Be sure to specify "File" for "Print to Port." After installing the
printer driver skip to Part B to create an EPS image file in Origin using the alternative
method.

2. Windows NT 4.0 users must and Windows 95/98 users can download and install a
PostScript printer driver from Adobe Software. After clicking the Adobe Software link,
select the Adobe Support link, the downloads link, and finally the Windows link for Printer
Drivers. Windows NT users should select the PostScript Printer Driver AdobePS 5.1.2 for
Windows NT 4.0 - U.S. English download and Windows 95/98 users should select the
PostScript Printer Driver AdobePS 4.3.1 for Windows 95 and Windows 98 - English
download. Download and install the Adobe PostScript printer driver following the
instructions provided.

3. During the printer driver installation process you will be asked to provide a *.PPD file
(PostScript Printer Definition). The *.PPD file for the HP DesignJet 3500CP printer
supports both the EPS output format and a custom page size. It has been found to work
well when used with the Adobe PostScript printer driver for the purposes of creating an
EPS image file. For more information see the link:

http://www.hp.com/cposupport/plotters/support_doc/bpp02410.html

Adobe Software provides this PPD file (as well as many others) at the bottom of the same
web page from which you downloaded the Adobe PostScript printer driver.

Part B

Once you have a PostScript printer driver installed, follow the procedure outlined below to
create an EPS file of your Origin Graph or Layout page.

1.Select File:Print. This menu command opens the Print dialog box.
2.Select a PostScript printer from the Name drop-down list in the Printer group.
3.Click the Properties button. This action opens the Printer Properties dialog box.
Different printer drivers have different properties but in general you must select the
options specified in steps 4 through 6.
4.Select the Portrait radio button from the Orientation group.
5.Select the PostScript tab (or edit PostScript Options).
6.Select Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) from the PostScript Output Format
drop-down list. A Warning dialog box may display reminding you to select the
Print to File check box in the Print dialog box.
7.Click OK in the Warning dialog box.
8.Select the Paper tab (or edit Paper/Page Size Options).
9.Select the paper size to set the size of the EPS bounding box. Select Custom and
specify your own dimensions if desired.
10.Click OK to close the Printer Properties dialog box.
11.Select the Print to File check box in the Printer group of the Print dialog box.
12.Click OK to close the Print dialog box. This action opens the Print to File dialog
box.
