XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO USING PAGE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGES
The Xerox DocuPrint Network Printing Series Guide to Using PDL
describes how the PostScript, HP PCL 5, and VIPP (formerly XGF)
page description languages (PDLs) are implemented on the Xerox
DocuPrint NPS printers.
This document is for users who will be submitting PostScript, HP
PCL 5, Decomposition Service, and VIPP jobs to the DocuPrint
printers. These users should be familiar with the applications they are
using to generate print jobs. This document is also for PostScript, HP
PCL 5, and VIPP programmers who will be creating applications
since it defines the features that are not supported for each PDL. It is
assumed that these programmers have a working knowledge of the
language they are working in. For specific reference information,
refer to the "Related information" section in this guide.
Before using this guide, become familiar with its contents and
conventions.
This section lists the contents of this guide:
•
Chapter 1, "PCL 5," provides information about how to use PCL
5 with your DocuPrint printer.
•
Chapter 2, "PostScript," contains the information you need to
use PostScript with your DocuPrint printer.
•
Chapter 3, "VIPP," provides instructions for using Variable Data
Intelligent PostScript PrintWare (formerly XGF) with your
DocuPrint.
This document uses the following conventions:
•
All caps and angle brackets—Within procedures, the names of
keys are shown in all caps within angle brackets (for example,
press <RETURN>).
•
Angle brackets—Variable information, or the position of a
specified argument in the command syntax, appears in angle
brackets (for example, List Fonts <Pattern>).
