Backward compatibility:

statusdict begin PS2fonts end	(temporary, changes the PostScript job only)
<</UseOldfonts true>> setsystemparams	(permanent, changes the default in NVRAM)

Supplemental Operators

This section explains PostScript emulation supplemental operators in detail. These supplemental operators are extensions to the standard PostScript language. For each supplemental operator, the exact syntax is listed, as well as the values returned on the stack and possible error messages.

Tips for PostScript emulation command extensions:

•Set operators are effective until the end of a job. At the end of a job, these values return to their default values.

•Setdefault operators do not become effective until the end of a job. However, the value may be queried immediately.

•Unless otherwise noted, all of these operators are located in the statusdict dictionary.

•In userdict, #copies is initialized at the beginning of each job to the number of copies selected either by PJL or from the printer operator panel.

To determine which operators your printer supports, see Table C-1 on page C-1.
