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:
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 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 FLASH SIMM(%flash%) or hard disk (%disk0%) options:
- devdismount
