PostScript

ManualFeed
Boolean
Indicates if the current (or active) source is a manual source. The following values
are supported:
True
Manual feed
False
Automatic feed
If ManualFeed is set to True, and a change is made to PageSize, MediaWeight,
MediaColor, or MediaType parameters, no matching occurs. It is assumed that
the correct page is fed.
Note:
ManualFeed is initialized at the start of each print job according to the
default paper source set by the printer control panel menus or through PJL. If the
default paper source is a manual source, ManualFeed is set to True. If the default
paper source is not a manual paper source, ManualFeed is set to False.
ManualFeedTimeout
integer
Indicates the amount of time that the printer waits for you to manually load a
sheet of paper.
0
infinite wait or no timeout
If the timeout expires, a
timeout
error is generated.
This is initialized at the start of each PostScript emulation job to the value of the
Feed Timeout menu item value.
MediaColor
string name
or null
Specifies the color of the current media.
MediaPosition
integer
Specifies the tray to select, if possible, whether it is the best match or not. Policies
may be consulted to determine the selection. For example, assume there is legal-
size paper in Tray 1 and letter-size paper in all the other trays, and the Policy for
the PageSize page device parameter is 1. The command
<< /PageSize [612 1008]/MediaPosition 1 >> setpagedevice
selects Tray 2 even though Tray 1 is a perfect match, because the PageSize
Policy of 1 allows the PageSize to be ignored.
MediaType
string name
or null
Indicates the type of the current media. The value of the string is arbitrary and
may describe any attribute not already defined by size, color, or weight.
MediaWeight
integer or
null
Specifies the weight of the current media in g/m
2
. The value is either null or a
number.
NumCopies
integer or
null
Specifies the number of copies of each page that should be printed. If the value is
null, the current value of #copies determines the number of copies to print.
Nup
Boolean
Determines if Nup is On or Off. Use the Nup function to print multiple page
images on a single page, where the value of
N
refers to the number of pages. For
example, 2-Up means two page images are printed on one page.
True
Nup is On and the NupDetails parameters are active.
False
Nup is Off.
For some printers, the value of Nup is set through the Multipage Printing menu
item. For more information about multipage printing (Nup), see your printer
documentation.
