Table 3: Files for a PDF start and linearised output with linearising data of the device S in the Startup (S); Input PS operator no. 1 (olv*(ORS18) setrgbcolor) in the NP file and output PS operators no. 0 to 9 in the in SP file which are transferred by the PS MTL code.

Remark: The files* of Table 3 serve for a PDF output with linearisation data S21E0xSP.DAT (x=0..7) in the Distiller Startup (S) directory and not for a PS output.

*) Please transfer e. g. the PDF file S21E00SP.PS with the file S21E00SP.DAT in the Distiller Startup (S) Directory, which uses the parameter i*ptrsc=0. Then this PDF-file produces the same output as the file S21E00FP.PDF of the Table 2. All the files S21E0xSP.PS (x=0,7) of the Table 3 are distilled with only the default file Example.ps in the Distiller Startup (S) Directory.
