DOCUPRINT IPS SOLUTIONS GUIDE
INCORPORATING XEROX VALUE-ADDED FEATURES
The stitching options are supported for the DocuPrint 4050, 4090,
4850, and 4890 IPS printers.
MarkForm facility
The MarkForm facility was originally implemented for continuous
feed printers to put a black mark on the edge of the separator pages.
Operators could then easily spot the marks in a stack of paper,
making it easier to separate jobs. Cut sheet printers jog the output
between reports, thus eliminating the need for the black edge marks.
You specify a MarkForm in the PSF printer attributes for the printer
definition. The command can then be modified just as you would any
other printer attribute, for example, by using operator commands:
•
in an MVS/JES2 environment, use the MODIFY command to
change the MarkForm option by specifying the JES2 command
$TPRTn, MARK=Y, where n is the printer number
•
for a PSF/2 system, specify the MarkForm option in the printer
settings dialog box.
You may wish to change the defaults for the printer so it uses the
correct MarkForm setting when you IPL or reboot the system.
Offset stacking facility
Offset stacking allows you to separate a report into "documents." The
printer jogs the output bin as each portion of a report is printed. This
command can be used for both cut sheet and continuous feed
printers.
You specify offset stacking in either the FORMDEF command or the
COPYGROUP subcommand of a FORMDEF:
•
specify JOG YES to stack pages in the specified copy group
offset from the previous copy group
•
specify JOG NO to stack pages in this copy group in line with
the previous copy group.
Another advantage in using the DocuPrint IPS printers is that you can
print your documents originally created for 240 pel resolution at 300
dpi. In addition, the document will be scaled to print at 600 by 600 dpi
by the DocuPrint 92C and 4635 IPS and to 600 by 2400 dpi for the
DocuPrint 180 IPS.
You can achieve this higher-resolution quality without changing your
existing AFP application. Because the DocuPrint IPS printers
recognize AFP resources, the fonts used in the application are
converted automatically from 240 dpi to either 300 dpi or 600 dpi, as
necessary. Graphics are also scaled to the appropriate resolution
when the print job is submitted.
