Device Search Order

If you are using the PostScript emulation operators run, file, renamefile, status or eexec, you do not need to specify the device. If you omit the device name, devices are searched in the default order: disk and then flash memory. If the following PostScript emulation code is encountered,

(myfile) (w) file

the file on disk is used (since disk occurs before flash memory in the default search order), and files cannot be created in ROM.

The operator deletefile searches only the first device in the default search order if a device is not specified.

Use the PostScript emulation operators devmount, devdismount to change the order. The default search order is determined by the order the devices are mounted. For example, if you want to place the disk device after the flash memory in the default search order, use the following command sequence:

(%disk%) devdismount (%disk%) devmount

To change the order so the devices are searched as disk, flash memory, and then

ROM, use the following PostScript emulation command sequence:

(%rom%) devdismount (%flash%) devdismount (%disk%) devdismount

(%disk%) devmount (%flash%) devmount (%rom%) devmount

If the device is already mounted, the following operators may change the search order:

•

•

•

initializedisk

devformat

<</InitializeAction>>setdevparams

Sending these operators has the following effect on the devices in the search order:

1If mounted, (%device%) devdismount

2Formats the device

3If dismounted in step 1, (%device%) devmount

If you do not want a device searched, dismount it and leave it dismounted.
