Operators
Unless otherwise noted, PostScript emulation functions unique to this
implementation are defined in statusdict.
The following example shows how to use PostScript emulation
commands to specify a D640 operator. In this example, the
a4tray
operator forces the paper tray setting to
a4
and sets the image area
size to
a4
