PrintServer 17 Series Printer PostScript Lvl 2 Prog Supplement

This document, the "PrintServer 17 Series Printer PostScript Level 2 Programmer's Supplement," serves as a primary reference for application and PostScript programmers using the Digital PrintServer 17 and PrintServer 17/600 series printers. It provides detailed, printer-specific PostScript Level 2 information, acting as a supplement to general PostScript documentation.

The supplement covers several key areas:

• PostScript Parameters and Resources: Outlines specific page device parameters (including input/output attributes and policies), user and system parameters, and settings for the LaserJetIII% emulator, along with details on available PostScript resources like fonts and color management.
• DECimage Plus: Describes this proprietary image enhancement feature, detailing its Type 7 halftone dictionary parameters (e.g., DotSize, Punch, Sharp, SpecialImageActive) and providing instructions for programmatic invocation for current or subsequent jobs.
• PostScript Level 2 Compatibility Operators: Lists standard PostScript Level 2 operators and Digital's extensions, highlighting their implementation and any behavioral differences from PostScript Level 1 or specific HP 4Si compatibilities.
• Supported Media Types: Provides comprehensive tables of supported paper sizes, their dimensions, valid output trays, and the corresponding PostScript operators for media and page size selection.

The document emphasizes referring to its content first for information regarding the PostScript interpreter on these specific printer models.
