Warmstart.ps and Sys/Start Files
When either or both the FLASH SIMM or hard disk options are installed, there are two features which provide support for automatic execution of a PostScript program during
The first feature is the warmstart.ps file. Each time the printer is powered on, either or both optional storage devices will be checked for a file named warmstart.ps. If this file is found, it will be read and parsed by the PostScript interpreter. It is up to the PostScript programmer to create the content of this file and get the file onto the storage device using the PostScript device and file operators.
The second feature is the Sys/Start file. If either or both of the optional storage devices are installed, an additional parameter will be supported in the System Parameter set. This parameter is an integer parameter called StartupMode and is set to 1 by default.
Note: This parameter can be read or written using the dosysstart and setdosysstart operators.
