It contains among other things, some 68000 assembly code.  One of these
snippets of machine language that some one sent me, implements an operator
called tonerlight.  This just sets a byte in memory to either a 0 or ff
to controll the toner out light on the front of the printer.  It's syntax:

<int> tonerlight.
it starts out 6b 31 33 99...  That tidbit of code could be removed, and
you could replace it with something like
/tonerlight {pop} def
Perhaps, If I can get the entire block of hex, I can deduce what the rest of
the stuff is.
