The Callisto Script consists of a sequence of logical instructions. The Script is a subset of 
the Object Pascal language as used by Borland in their Delphi product. Each Input Queue 
has its own Script. This allows individual rules to be set for each Input Queue. Each script is 
defined in a file (*.csf) and is passed along with the JobID of the job to be processed. The 
Script will process only one job at a time. 

The Callisto Script comprises of functions and procedures. The Script also consists of 
classes. The classes defined are Job, User and Queue (Output Queue). Job and User are 
implicit within the Script so any property, function or procedure of these can be called from 
anywhere within the code. 

Queues must be defined within the Init procedure before they can be referenced in the 
Process procedure of the Script. Queue names are defined as Queue1, Queue2 etc. These 
Queues refer to Output Queues that are actual physical devices. 

There are a variety of general functions and procedures defined and these provide additional 
functionality for the script. These are not associated with any class and do not need an 
initialisation procedure. Furthermore, they can be called from anywhere within the code.  

An example of a general function and procedure is GetIPAddress. This retrieves of the IP 
address of PC that sent the print job.  All the procedures and methods are listed in the Script 
API (See the Callisto Script API Document). 

 

The Callisto Script comprises of two sections, these are Init and Process. When the Script 
is run, procedure Init is called first and consists entirely of initialisation code that defines 
the number of Output queues and their properties. The Process procedure contains the code 
required to process the job. It is this section of the script that can be manually edited, and it 
is where the custom script commands are inputted.

//Defines and Initialises Queues 

 

 

 

   end ;

    // Defines Variables in the script below  

 
procedure Process ;

// This sections contains script commands and can be edited by administrator 

           

// All code MUST be define in here 

    end ;
