Paper Size Support
The operators in this section relate to the paper used in the printer.
The literal names described in the following table are also supported as operators in
userdict. When the literal names are used as operators:
•
They execute setpagedevice to request a specific paper size.
•
They use the specified size as a page device PageSize parameter.
•
They set PageSize Policy to 7.
Therefore, PageSize applies to the media currently installed in the tray without
disabling media selection, which may clip the image. For example, if you execute the
legal operator when letter size paper is installed, part of the image is clipped from the
page.
When the literal names are used as operators, the action is equivalent to executing the
following PostScript emulation sequence. This example uses letter-size paper.
Note:
In the following command, “<<” and “>>” are dictionary mark objects.
<< /Policies << /PageSize 7 >> /PageSize [612 792] >> setpagedevice
Refer to your printer user documentation for a list of supported paper sizes.
