POSTSCRIPT MODE
Page Device setup
Both Level 1 and Level 2 Postscript provide features to set up a
document that meets the requirements of a page description.
The Level 1 implementation provides a set of control operators in
a dictionary called Statusdict. The Level 2 implementation
supports setpagedevice, a device setup operator which specifies
the requirements of a page description and controls standard and
optional printer features.
When calling the operator setpagedevice, a user can specify
parameters such as PageSize and ImageBox for formatting,
NumCopies, Duplex, and MediaColor for page processing;
InputAttributes and OutputAttributes for Input/Output control;
and Policies for handling unsatisfied requirements. Many other
Page Device parameters are supported by your printer. Refer to
the “Device Setup” section in the PostScript Language Printer
Addendum, Xerox 4220/MRP, 4230/MRP, Adobe Systems
Incorporated, for details.
Page Device features
Some of the Page Device features that are unique to the printer
are described in this section. Note the Page Device parameter
used in each case.
Page Size
Specified by the PageSize parameter. In PostScript mode, paper
sizes are supported by commands in the data stream. Each
specified size is matched against the available media in the paper
trays. If the specified size is found, the media in that tray is
used. Failure to match a paper size triggers the current PageSize
policy. If paper size is not specified in the data stream, the
media is selected from the default tray or any other tray with the
same size. Table 1-1 shows the page sizes that are supported by
the matching mechanism on the printer.
N
Note: The imageable area is the same as the page size.
