							KPDL Operators

KPDL Operators
This section describes the machine-independent part of KPDL, Kyocera’s implementa-
tion of the PostScript command language. KPDL deployed in the printing system encom-
passes the features of LanguageLevel 3  of the PostScript command language.
The KPDL operators described in this section can be used for confirming and changing 
the printing system’s internal settings. Most  of the operators in this section are paired: 
one operator for setting an environmental parameter, and another operator for confirming 
the setting. The setting operator starts with the letters  set. The confirmation operator has 
the same name, but without the initial  set. 
Communication with  the Printing System 
The operations described below are performe d by sending KPDL operators to the print-
ing system in the KPDL mode. KPDL operators  can be sent either by file transfer, or 
interactively using communications software. Th is section explains both methods. As an 
example, it uses the KPDL oper ator that sets the printing system to print a simple graph-
ics sample as shown in Figure 7. 44.  on page 116.
Example : 
Operators to draw a text and  an enclosing box. Note that, in KPDL mode, unit for dis-
tances is 
1/72 inches.
The initial SEM 9; ensures that the printing sy stem is in the KPDL mode. If the printing 
system is already in the KPDL mode, SEM 9;  is ignored. The percent signs (%) and the 
words to the right are comments. Comments are included on ly to explain the operators, 
and can be omitted when typing operators. 
Try using one of the methods explained on the  following page to enable delivery of the 
result of the above example. The  print result appears as shown in Figure 7. 44. on page 
116. !R! SEM 9; EXIT;  % Enter KPDL mode

File transfer 
One way to transfer a file is to place all lines above in a file and transfer the file to the 
printing system. The ba sic requirements are: 
• Except for SEM 9; and EXIT; (which can be  in either uppercase or lowercase letters), 
all operators must be typed in lowe rcase letters, exactly as shown. 
• The file must not contain any extraneous control codes, as are frequently added by  word-processing software. 
• The file must be sent as a file, not printed. If you print the file, you will only obtain  printed output. 
KPDL Summary 
This section lists all KPDL operators , their operands, and their results. 
When received from the comput er, operators and operands are placed in an area in the 
printing system’s memory called the  stack. In the operator tabl e, each operator is pre-
ceded by its list of operands (if any). These op erands must be placed onto the stack prior 
to the operator itself.  Each operator is followed by a list of its results (if any). The results 
returned by the operator ar e also placed onto the stack. 
For example, the add operator is listed as follows: 
num1 num2 add sum  add num1 and num2 
The action of this operator is  to remove the two numbers th at precede it from the top of 
the stack, add them, and put  their sum onto the stack. 
If an operator does not require any preceding  operands or does not place any result on the 
stack, the corresponding column in the table is blank. 
The following abbreviations (and a  few others) are used for operands: 
ang angle (specified in degrees) 
bool boolean: the value true or false 
dict dictionary 
int integer 
num number (integer or real) 
obj object (any object) 
pattern pattern dictionary 
proc procedure 
tag tag 
userpath array of path construction op erators and their operands
