Table 4-15: PostScript Emulation User Parameters (Continued)

Key

Type

Definition

 

MaxOpStack

integer

Maximum elements in the operand stack.

 

 

Legal value: Any integer greater than or equal to 75.

 

 

 

MaxPatternItem

integer

Maximum bytes occupied by a single cached pattern.

 

 

Legal value: Any integer between zero and half of RamSize.

 

 

 

MaxScreenItem

integer

Maximum bytes occupied by a single halftone screen.

 

 

Legal value: Any non-negative integer.

 

 

 

MaxSuperScreen

integer

Establishes an upper limit for the number of pixels in the supercell. Supercells

 

 

affect Type 1 and Type 2 halftones.

 

 

If MaxSuperScreen is set to zero, the use of supercells is prevented.

 

 

Legal value: Any integer between zero and half of RamSize.

 

 

 

MaxUPathItem

integer

Maximum bytes occupied by a single user path.

 

 

Legal value: Any integer between zero and half of RamSize.

 

 

 

MinFontCompress

integer

(Read-only) This value is always the value of MAXINTEGER.

 

 

 

PageCount

integer

(Read-only) This value is a running sum of the number of pages submitted by

 

 

the PostScript interpreter to the print engine for printing.

 

 

Note: This value is reset to 0 (zero) during PostScript initialization. Since

 

 

PostScript initialization by the printer cannot be known, we recommend querying

 

 

the value of PageCount at the beginning of a job and at the end of a job, and

 

 

then calculating the difference to determine how many pages are submitted to

 

 

the printer for a specific job.

 

 

This parameter is not valid for tracking pages between jobs.

 

 

 

 

UseOldcopypage

boolean

Legal values:

 

 

 

True

Indicates the copypage command is processed as defined in the

 

 

 

PostScript Level 2 description.

 

 

False

Indicates the copypage command is processed as defined in the

 

 

 

PostScript 3 description.

 

 

 

 

VMReclaim

integer

Legal values:

 

 

 

0

Enables automatic garbage collection

 

 

-1

Disables automatic garbage collection for local Virtual Memory

 

 

 

(VM)

 

 

-2

Disables automatic garbage collection for both local and global

 

 

 

VM

 

 

 

VMThreshold

integer

Frequency of automatic garbage collection, which occurs when the specified

 

 

number of bytes have been allocated since the previous collection.

 

 

Legal value: Any integer from 8192 to 500000, inclusive.

 

 

 

WaitTimeout

integer

Number of seconds the interpreter waits to receive additional characters from

 

 

the host before it terminates the current print job by executing a PostScript

 

 

emulation timeout error.

 

 

A value of 0 indicates an infinite timeout. WaitTimeout is initialized to the value

 

 

of the WaitTimeout system parameter at the beginning of each print job.

 

 

Legal value: Any non-negative integer.
