POSTSCRIPT MODE
Page Device setup
Both Level 1 and Level 2 Postscript provide features to set up a document that meets the requirements of a page description. The Level 1 implementation provides a set of control operators in a dictionary called Statusdict. The Level 2 implementation supports setpagedevice, a device setup operator which specifies the requirements of a page description and controls standard and optional printer features.
When calling the operator setpagedevice, a user can specify parameters such as PageSize and ImageBox for formatting, NumCopies, Duplex, and MediaColor for page processing; InputAttributes and OutputAttributes for Input/Output control; and Policies for handling unsatisfied requirements. Many other Page Device parameters are supported by your printer. Refer to the ªDevice Setupº section in the PostScript Language Printer Addendum, Xerox 4220/MRP, 4230/MRP, Adobe Systems Incorporated, for details.
Page Device features
Some of the Page Device features that are unique to the printer are described in this section. Note the Page Device parameter used in each case.
Page Size Specified by the PageSize parameter. In PostScript mode, paper sizes are supported by commands in the data stream. Each specified size is matched against the available media in the paper trays. If the specified size is found, the media in that tray is used. Failure to match a paper size triggers the current PageSize policy. If paper size is not specified in the data stream, the media is selected from the default tray or any other tray with the same size. Table
NNote: The imageable area is the same as the page size.
