Command Aggregate Attributes
Command aggregate attributes, grouped under the _ _CAG group header attribute, store
values such as the command to initialize the printer and the command to restore the printer
after a print job is completed. Attributes in this category begin with the letter c. Typical
command aggregate attributes for a supported PostScript printer are:
_ _CAG COMMAND AGGREGATES
ci Command To Initialize the Printer %Iez\4%?%G_j%{
1}%=%tstatusdi
ct begin%Iat %
Iar %?%Gmw%t%I
aF%; end%;
cr Command To Restore the Printer at Job End %o\4%Iex
These same attributes are stored in the colon file as:
:051:_ _CAG::
:144:ci::%Iez\4%?%G_j%{1}%=%tstatusdict begin %Iat %Iar %?%Gmw%t%IaF
%; end%;
:152:cr::%o\4%Iex
ASCII Control Code Attributes
The _ _CTL group of virtual printer attributes store ASCII control codes used by the printer.
These attributes begin with the letter a and store such values as the control code used to
advance paper to the next page. The following control codes are typical for a supported
PostScript printer:
