USING CUSTOM SETUP MODULES WITH SCRIPTSERVER

Contents | Index | About the Icons

ScriptServer® for Open VMS allows a high degree of customization through the use of setup modules. (The new ScriptServer® PAN Printing System provides equivalent functionality with resources.) These modules are downloaded from the device control library at various points in the output stream according to the particular setup module usage.

The order that setup modules are downloaded is:


MODULE TYPEINVOCATION METHOD
emulation setupPRINT/PARAM=DATA_TYPE=emulation
job setupSSV$queue_JOB_SETUP_MODULES logical
file setup*PRINT/SETUP=modules
ASCII/PS/HPGL prolog*PRINT/PARAM=DATA_TYPE=data_type
form setup*DEFINE/FORM/SETUP=modules
page setup *^DEFINE/FORM/PAGE_SETUP=modules
emulation resetPRINT/PARAM=DATA_TYPE=emulation
* Sent once for each file in the job
*^ Page setup modules are downloaded once per page and are triggered by form feed characters in ASCII files.

It is important to note that images and graphics placed on the page can become erased by PostScript commands later in the data stream. These erasures can be done explicitly with the erasepage and fill operators, or implicitly by operators such as: initgraphics, showpage or the tray selection commands (e.g. lettertray).

NOTE: Although it is GrayMatter's policy to provide the highest level of technical support, we cannot assume responsibility for debugging PostScript code not written by GrayMatter Software.
