- The following is a short postscript program you can download to
- the IIg to turn off Photograde and gain back the smaller margins.

- %Disable PhotoGrade.ps D.W. 11/91
- %This code disables PhotoGrade enhancement after a couple of checks:
- % Verifies that it's running on a LaserWriter IIg or IIf
- % Checks if PhotoGrade is already disabled - prevents NVRAM fatigue.
- % (The memory device is limited to approximately 50000 writes)

- statusdict /product get dup
- (LaserWriter IIf) ne exch (LaserWriter IIg) ne and
- { (Not a IIf or IIg and may not support PhotoGrade. Canceling.) =
- stop
- } if
- currentpagedevice /PreRenderingEnhance get not
- { (PhotoGrade is already disabled on this LaserWriter) = }
- { serverdict begin 0 exitserver }
- ifelse
- vmstatus pop pop 0 eq
- { (Disabling PhotoGrade.) =
- <</PreRenderingEnhance false>> setpagedevice
- } if

- The guy who gave this to me says it is from Apple. It worked for us.
- Not sure how to turn it back on. Probably change the false to true.
