Chapter 2: Using the Hard Disk
Using the Hard Disk as a PostScript Device
In order to allow PostScript ® programs to access the Hard Disk, 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.
For detailed information on using the operators/parameter sets, please refer to the following
publications (available on the Adobe
® web site, www.adobe.com):
• PostScript Language Reference Manual
• Adobe PostScript 3 Version 3010 Product Supplement
Device Name and Priority
The device name assigned to the Hard Disk option is %disk0%.
• If both the Hard Disk and the Flash SIMM options are installed, both can be referenced
uniquely by name.
• If no device name is specified in the PostScript operation, the SearchOrder parameter in the
device parameter set establishes 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 priority to the Hard Disk.
PostScript Operators
All of the standard file-object related operators (file, read, write, etc.) are supported. In addition,
following is a list of device-related PostScript Compatibility operators that are supported for
use with the Hard Disk (%disk0%):
- devdismount
- devforall
- devformat
- devmount
- devstatus
- diskonline
- diskstatus
