DeviceType for HqnImpose2
This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.
The value should be a PostScript-language key, selected from:
| A device where pages are limited in the fast scan direction by the width of the material and are effectively unlimited in the slow scan direction. |
| A device where pages are limited in the fast scan direction by the internal or external imaging circumference of a drum, and in the slow scan direction by the width of the material, but which are capable of exposing only part of a full drum of material if only a small page is imaged. |
| A device similar to that described for |
| A device fed from cut sheet material, often a toner or other non-photographic printer. |
| A device with effectively unlimited dimensions (for example, a file format). |
DeviceType
is used as a hint for which Tactic
should be used if none is specifically selected in the call to HqnInitImpose
. It is calculated automatically as far as is possible, but that cannot be done between a part drum and a full drum device. The optimum filling order for signatures varies between these two options; we therefore recommend that you explicity set DeviceType
when using drum devices.
