Key
Type
Definition
StartupMode
integer
Controls the system start file during PostScript emulation initialization and
the job start file before each print job.
Valid values:
0—Disables the use of Sys/Start file and Job/Start file.
1—Executes Sys/Start file (if present on the hard disk or flash memory).
10—Executes Job/Start before each user job.
11—Executes both Sys/Start and Job/Start files.
Legal values: 0 <= x <= 255. Values other than the four listed are equivalent
to 0.
StaticRamSize
integer
(Read
only) Amount of static memory (in bytes) on the controller board.
SystemParams
Password
string
(Write
only) Controls the ability of
setsystemparams
to change the values
of system parameters and
setdevparams
to change the values of device
parameters.
Legal values: Any integer or string of 32 or fewer non
null characters. An
integer is converted to a string.
UseOldcopypage
Boolean
True indicates that the copypage command is processed as defined in
PostScript level 2 description. False indicates that the copypage command
is processed as defined in PostScript level 3 description.
UseOldfonts
Boolean
True redefines the following PostScript resident fonts to match the
character designs and metrics defined in PostScript level 2:
AntiqueOlive (AntiqueOlive
Roman)
AntiqueOlive
Bold
AntiqueOlive
Italic
LetterGothic
LetterGothic
Italic (LetterGothic
Slanted)
Univers
Bold
Marigold
False restores the font compatibility to PostScript level 3.
ValidNV
Boolean
(Read
only) Indicates whether non
volatile memory is used to store
persistent parameters. If this memory is found defective during system
initialization, then factory defaults are used. If further testing reveals this
memory is defective, then it is not used and ValidNV is false.
WaitTimeout
integer
The value in seconds the user parameter WaitTimeout initializes at the
beginning of each job. Negative values are ignored and the previous setting
is used. A value of zero (0) indicates an infinite timeout. If you set a number
between 1 and 14, then 15 is set.
Legal values: x = 0, 15 <= x <= 65355.
Device parameters
The
currentdevparams
operator returns a dictionary of the current values of the system parameters.
