Some system parameters are stored in statusdict as ordinary data

values (integers, booleans, and strings) that may be read by

executing their names. They may be changed using the def

operator.

Please note the following when issuing commands:

■ integer in a syntax requires you to enter a number.

■ boolean is a value indicating true/false.

■ string is an ASCII string which must be enclosed in

parentheses ( ).

Changing Persistent Parameters

Persistent parameters are the non-volatile, or unchanging,

parameters in effect every time you power on. These are things like

the printer’s communication parameters, page margins, and

idle-time font conversion.

The serverdict Password

Making permanent changes is controlled by a password. Some

printers are used in a shared environment in which it is undesirable

for individual users to change the persistent state. In such cases,

only a system administrator should be permitted to make such

changes. But in the case of a dedicated printer or a small group of

cooperative users, the users should be permitted to make changes

freely.

The system administrator password is a PostScript integer. The

default value is Ø, but it may be changed to any other value by

executing the setpassword operator.
