Using the FLASH SIMM or Hard Disk Option as a PostScript Device

In order to allow PostScript programs to access the FLASH SIMM and/or hard disk options, a full implementation of a PostScript storage device is provided. This section discusses an overview of the PostScript operators and parameter sets that are included in the support.

For detailed information on using the operators/parameter sets, please refer to the following publications:

Device Names and Priority

The device names assigned to the FLASH SIMM and hard disk options are as follows:

%flash%	device name for the FLASH SIMM
%disk0%	device name for the hard disk

If both devices are installed, both devices can be referenced uniquely by name. If no device name is specified in the PostScript operation, the SearchOrder parameter in the device parameter set establishes the priority for file operations. When both devices are installed, the SearchOrder value for the hard disk is set to 1, while the SearchOrder value for the FLASH SIMM is set to 2. This gives priority to the hard disk.

PostScript Operators

All of the standard file-object related operators (file, read, write, etc.) are supported. In addition, following is a list of device-related PostScript Compatibility operators that are supported for use with the FLASH SIMM(%flash%) or hard disk (%disk0%) options:

zdevdismount

zdevforall

zdevformat
