PostScript

Interpreter Parameters

This section describes the PostScript emulation interpreter parameters. There are three types of interpreter parameters:

User parameters

System parameters

Device parameters

To determine which parameters your printer supports, see Appendix C: “PostScript Support” on page C-1.

User Parameters

The following user parameters are used by setuserparams and currentuserparams.

If a value is requested that is not within the range for the requested parameter, the minimum (or maximum) value is used.

If a setuserparams value does not match the type of the specified parameter, a typecheck error occurs. If a parameter is not supported by the printer, it is ignored. An attempt to change the value of a read-only parameter has no effect on the parameter.

To determine which parameters your printer supports, see Table C-3 on page C-8.

Key

Type

Definition

AccurateScreens

boolean

Controls whether the accurate screen algorithm is used during subsequent

 

 

executions of the setscreen and setcolorscreen operators.

 

 

 

CollatedCopies

integer

Requests the number of collated copies to print for the job. The CollatedCopies

 

 

parameter must be set before the first page of the job has been sent.

 

 

If CollatedCopies is set to zero, the parameter has no effect on the job. If

 

 

CollatedCopies is set to a number other than zero, the value of #copies and of

 

 

the NumCopies and Collate pagedevice parameters are ignored for the job.

 

 

Legal values: Any integer between 0 and 999, inclusive.
