Warmstart.ps and Sys/Start Files

When either or both the FLASH SIMM or hard disk/compact flash options are installed, there
are two features which provide support for automatic execution of a PostScript program during
power-on initialization.

The first feature is the warmstart.ps file. Each time the printer is powered on, either or both
optional storage devices will be checked for a file named warmstart.ps. If this file is found, it will
be read and parsed by the PostScript interpreter. It is up to the PostScript programmer to cre-
ate the content of this file and get the file onto the storage device using the PostScript device
and file operators.

The second feature is the Sys/Start file. If either or both of the optional storage devices are
installed, an additional parameter will be supported in the System Parameter set. This parame-
ter is an integer parameter called StartupMode and is set to 1 by default.

NOTE: This parameter can be read or written using the dosysstart and setdosysstart

operators.

Each time the printer is powered on, if the StartupMode parameter is set to 1, either or both the
optional storage devices will be searched for a file called Sys/Start, a file named Start in a path
called Sys. If this file is found, it will be read and parsed by the PostScript interpreter. Again, it is
up to the PostScript programmer to create the content of this file and get the file onto the stor-
age device using the PostScript device and file operators.
