How to override default RIP settings?...

I've a problem to print my .PS file with all features set right for imagesetter.
I mean, I've created setup dictionary for SETPAGEDEVICE, but it has no any effect on output result.
Here how I set up the given device (HEIDELBERG PRIMESETTER):

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%Creator: Oleg Shishkin
%%BeginSetup
/DeviceGray			%
<</PageSize [595 842] /Orientation 1
  /ProcessColorModel /DeviceGray
  /MirrorPrint false			 

      > setpagedevice		 %%EndSetup
      %%Page: NOT_ripped 1
      bla-bla-bla





In other words I really need to set halftoning options MANUALLY and send this stuff directly to output device passing the RIP...

Can anybody help me with that?

Did you take those sequences from the PPD file for the PrimeSetter?

More over it seems like DeltaWorkstation dose not want to let PS-file go to Primesetter without OPC-Header! How to by pass the Delta Tower, Delta Workstation and output my ps-file with no any changes?

I am not sure that it's possible to image a PostScript file with out interpreting it, which means you can't really by-pass the RIP. Printed files are effectively rastered rather than vector data, which requires a raster image processor.

Bypassing the Delta Tower and Workstation may be possible using Imprint; that application should simply dump your PS code directly into the RIP.
