8.3 Statusdict Options
======================

The 'statusdict' is a special storage entity in PostScript (called a
"dictionary"), in which some variables and operators determine the
behavior of the printer.  This is an historic horror that existed before
page device definitions were defined.  They are even more printer
dependent, and are provided only for the people who don't have a level
printer.  In any case, refer to the documentation of your printer for
supported options.

   Here are some statusdict definitions in which you might be
interested:

'manualfeed BOOLEAN'
     Variable which determine that the manual fed paper tray will be
     used.  Use is '--statusdict=manualfeed::true'.

'setmanualfeed BOOLEAN'
     Idem as the previous point, but use is
     '--statusdict=setmanualfeed:true'.

'setduplexmode BOOLEAN'
     If BOOLEAN, then print Duplex.  Use if
     '--statusdict=setduplexmode:true'.
