The first line of the trigger uses the string “%!PS-Adobe” to put the printer in PostScript mode. It may also include printer-

specific commands.

The syntax of the second line of the trigger depends on where the document is installed in the printer: on the hard drive, in

RAM, or in Flash memory. The second line, written in PostScript, tells the printer the name and location of the document, and it

launches the document. If you are using version numbers in your documents, this line also contains the version number.

Trigger Syntax for Documents Installed on a Hard Disk

The general syntax of a trigger for a document that resides on the printer’s hard drive is:

[ printer-specific_commands ] %!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>

[[ (location_of_document) ] run ] name_of_document <CR><LF>

In this example, a document named INVOICE resides on the printer’s single hard drive:

%!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>

(INVOICE) run INVOICE <CR><LF>

If the printer has more than one hard disk, you must include the name of the hard disk. In this example, the name of the hard

disk is “presswork” and the name of the document is INVOICE.

%!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>

(%presswork%INVOICE) run INVOICE <CR><LF>

Trigger Syntax for Documents Installed in RAM

The general syntax of a trigger for a document that resides in the printer’s RAM is:

[ printer-specific_commands ] %!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>

name_of_document <CR><LF>

An example of the trigger for a document named FORMLETTER that resides in the printer’s RAM:

%!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>

FORMLETTER <CR><LF>

Trigger Syntax for Documents Installed in Flash Memory

The general syntax of a trigger for a document that resides in the printer’s Flash memory is:

[ printer-specific_commands ] %!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>

(%flash%name_of_document) run name_of_document <CR><LF>

An example of the trigger for a document named PAYROLL that resides in the printer’s Flash memory:

%!PS-Adobe <CR><LF>

(%flash%PAYROLL) run PAYROLL <CR><LF>

Note that using this syntax on some printers that have only Flash memory (no hard disk) may return an error messages say-

ing that the file or the Flash device cannot be found. This can usually be fixed by using the trigger syntax for documents
