You can code a nickname statement in the external defaults module, ADMMDFV to associate a PostScript printer with the name-list QUALPRT. Here is an example of a possible nickname statement:


       ADMMNICK FAM=4,NAME=QUALPRT,DEVTOK=PPS2CA4,
                TONAME=(QUALPRT,PSBIN,),
                PROCOPT=((POSTPROC,DOWNLOAD)),
                DESC="Generic level-2 color PostScript output downloaded to W.Stn."

Any output generated for the device called "QUALPRT" is written in ASCII format to a PostScript print file formatted for A4 paper. The TONAME parameter retains the name-list(1) parameter of the DSOPEN call but changes the name-list(2) parameter to PSBIN. This gives the PostScript file a filetype of PSBIN instead of ADMIMAGE, which is the default filetype for family-4 output. The POSTPROC processing option specifies that postprocessing of the PostScript output be performed by a user-written procedure called DOWNLOAD. The DOWNLOAD procedure must be capable of operating in CMS SUBSET mode.
