Supplemental Operator Summary

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

appletalktype

— appletalktype (string)

in statusdict, this string reflects the current value of the LocalTalkType device parameter from the %LocalTalk% device. The default string is LaserWriter. To change the type portion (appletalktype) of the AppleTalk network name and redefine the string, execute the following:

/appletalktype (string) def

When you redefine a string inside the normal server loop, it is reset to the default value at the end of the print job. When you define it outside the normal server loop, it is reset to the default value when the printer is switched to a printer language other than PostScript emulation or when a power-on reset occurs.

Errors: rangecheck, stackoverflow, typecheck

buildtime

— buildtime integer

returns the BuildTime system parameter, which is a timestamp that identifies the specific build of the PostScript emulation interpreter.

Error: stackoverflow

byteorder

byteorder boolean

returns a boolean on the stack with the same value as the system parameter ByteOrder. Indicates the printer microprocessor native byte order. The boolean values indicate:

true low-order byte first false high-order byte first
