How to Create a Startup File For 
                UltraScript on the ImageServer XP Turbo

The ImageServer provides a method of customizing the initial state of the interpreter. By
creating a file called startup.ps, UltraScript interprets the commands contained in this file
at exitserver level each time the system boots. Commands executed at the exitserver
level define the initial state of the interpreter. This allows you to make persistent changes
that apply to all UltraScript jobs sent to the ImageServer.

A startup file can be used to customize your printer, redefine operators, change
error-handling routines, set up special procedures, or change system defaults. 

Modifying UltraScript Interpreter Defaults  The ImageServer can be configured to change
the default parameters that are not otherwise configurable at the system level. For
example, the statusdict system parameter product can be permanently changed from the
default þImageServer XPþ to some other string such as þIMAGEN 7320þ by including
the following line of code in the file startup.ps: 
      
      statusdict /product (IMAGEN 7320) out

Redefining Operators  Any operator can be redefined to perform some alternate function.
For example, the showpage operator could be modified so that it prints a heading and a
footing on each processed page.
(Note that this might cause problems for other users.)

Creating a startup.ps File
1.    At the UNIX shell prompt, enter the following:

      vi startup.ps

2.    Enter the information to be included in the startup.ps file. For example, to bind
definitions to ledger in the UltraScript interpreter, type

      /ledgertray {ledger} bind def
      /11x17tray {ledger} bind def
      /11x17 {ledger} bind def

3.    Save the file and exit from vi.

4.    Use the following command to send the file to the printer to be stored on the hard
disk, and not printed, replacing printername with the name of your printer:

      ipr -Pprintername -Lfileutility -D"store startup.ps" startup.ps

      (The ipr utility is supplied in the UNIX Host Software for the ImageServer. If you don't
have this software, contact QMS Customer Technical Support by phone at (205)
633-4500 or by fax at (205) 633-3716.)

5.    Turn the printer's controller off, count to 10, and then turn it on again. The startup.ps
file is read automatically and executed at boot-up.
