Accessing Files with PostScript Emulation

File Naming Conventions

For any PostScript emulation operator that requires a filename parameter, the
filename can be one of the following:
%device%filename
filename

Device Names

The term device refers to flash memory, disk, or ROM. For PostScript emulation, some
of the operators require or return device names. These operators are: deletefile,
filenameforall, devforall, devdismount, devmount, devformat, devstatus. The
device always begins and optionally ends with a % character. The following are the
valid device names:
The same filename can exist on more than one device. The device prefix determines
the actual file to use. For example,
respectively, a file called
name distinguishes which file to use.
Specifically references a file on a particular device. If the filename does not exist
on %device%, no other %device% is accessed for a duplicate filename.
Does not specifically reference a device. The following action occurs:
•
For the PostScript emulation operator deletefile, only the first device in the
search order is checked for filename.
•
For all other PostScript emulation operators, and all other combinations of
search order and available devices, each installed %device% is checked in
the search order for the existence of filename. The operator acts upon the first
filename that it finds.
