CHAPTER 2
LaserWriter 16/600 PS Software
Interpreter Parameters 49
NOTE 1 All values, with the exception of Type, persist across cycles and restarts.
NOTE 2 The HasNames and Type parameters are read-only constants.
IMPORTANT
Automatic protocol detection may be used with a fixed parameter
value to provide Adobe Standard, TBCP, and PJL protocol support.
To implement this function, you must set the Filtering parameter
to /InterpreterBased, and the Interpreter parameter
to /AutoSelect.
The /InterpreterBased filter does not support asynchronous status
inquiries. Therefore it can make many host printer drivers and spoolers
unusable. ▲
Interpreter name /PostScript Indicates the type of executable job
represented by the arriving data.
Alternatives available on the
LaserWriter 16/600 PS are:
■ PostScript
■ LaserJetIII
■ AutoSelect
LocalTalkType string (LaserWriter) Represents the Type piece of the
LocalTalk entity name. This
parameter is set to the name of the
printer type. In the case of the
LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer, the
type is LaserWriter.
NodeID integer 0 Represents the local network
address of the printer. Legal
addresses are values between 128
and 254. A value of 0 indicates that
the address has not yet been set.
This parameter is a read-only
constant.
On boolean true Indicates whether or not the printer
driver for the communications
device is turned on and able to
receive and send data. If the value
of this parameter is false, data
sent to the printer is lost.
Type name /Communications Indicates the general category
of device represented by the
parameter set.
