Using the PCL and PostScript Power-On Files Feature

Power-on Files Defined

If a FLASH SIMM or Hard Disk option is installed in your printer, your printer has the capability of storing additional power-on files which can be read and interpreted at power-on.

Power-on files can contain either PCL or PostScript language content. Examples of power-on files include soft fonts, and macro/overlay definitions. The FLASH SIMM can store approximately 8MB of file storage, the hard disk drive storage depends on the size of the drive that is installed in your printer.

NOTE: Power-on files are processed at power-on initialization only and not at the start of every print job.

Contact the technical support organization at your point of purchase for full details about the power-on files feature.

Using the FLASH SIMM or Hard Disk Option as a PostScript Device

In order to allow PostScript programs to access the FLASH SIMM and/or hard disk options, a full implementation of a PostScript storage device is provided. This section discusses an overview of the PostScript operators and parameter sets that are included in the support.

For detailed information on using the operators/parameter sets, please refer to the following publi- cations:

Device Names and Priority

The device names assigned to the FLASH SIMM and hard disk options are as follows:

%flash%	device name for the FLASH SIMM
%disk0%	device name for the hard disk

If both devices are installed, both devices can be referenced uniquely by name. If no device name is specified in the PostScript operation, the SearchOrder parameter in the device parameter set estab- lishes the priority for file operations. When both devices are installed, the SearchOrder value for the hard disk is set to 1, while the SearchOrder value for the FLASH SIMM is set to 2. This gives prior- ity to the hard disk.
