InfoPrint XT Guide
Highlight-color job processing
You can submit Xerox jobs that contain color-related metacodes or PDL
commands, such as ICATALOG, IDR, ILIST, and INKINDEX. However,
InfoPrint XT does nothing with the color information. The jobs print in
black and white.
OTEXT messages
You can process jobs that contain OTEXT messages with InfoPrint XT.
However, InfoPrint XT does not display the OTEXT message text or
suspend printing.
SHIFT and XSHIFT JDL and DJDE commands
InfoPrint XT supports the Xerox SHIFT and XSHIFT JDL and DJDE
commands with these exceptions:
1. You must specify the xhonorshift=yes conversion parameter for
InfoPrint XT to process jobs that contain SHIFT and XSHIFT
commands. The default is that InfoPrint XT ignores SHIFT and XSHIFT
commands.
2. Xerox LPS printers save DJDE SHIFT values between jobs, but they do
not save JDL/JDE SHIFT values. Therefore, if the first SHIFT DJDE in a
job specifies a value for only one side, the value for the other side is
the last DJDE value specified for that side, even if a previous, unrelated
job specified that value.
InfoPrint XT initializes each job with SHIFT values of zero for both
front and back sides. If the first SHIFT DJDE in a job specifies a value
for only one side, the value for the side that was not specified is zero.
Output does not shift on the unspecified side until InfoPrint XT finds a
SHIFT value for that side in a JDL/JDE or in a DJDE in the job.
This restriction does not apply to XSHIFT.
3. When a Xerox LPS finds SHIFT DJDEs in the data stream, it sometimes
misplaces graphic images for the page on which the new SHIFT values
take effect. For example, in portrait mode, the images might move
lower on the page instead of shifting to the right or to the left. This
might even affect images that are specified by the FRM being printed
on the page.
InfoPrint XT correctly shifts all page segments as specified by the
SHIFT command when you set up InfoPrint XT to honor SHIFT
commands. InfoPrint XT does not try to emulate the incorrect image
placement occasionally introduced by the Xerox LPS.
This restriction does not apply to XSHIFT.
Spacing characters in Xerox fonts
With the default xspacing=none conversion parameter and value, InfoPrint
XT converts spacing characters in Xerox fonts to Presentation Text Object
Content Architecture (PTOCA) text characters in the AFP that it generates.
It does the same for overlays that it generates from Xerox FRMs. You can
instruct InfoPrint XT to create Relative Move Inline (RMI) structured fields
in the AFP output instead of the PTOCA text characters. You use the -b
option of the pdxtloadres command or the xspcrmi conversion parameter
to generate RMI structured fields.
Controlling how InfoPrint XT interprets spacing characters is intended for
limited use with a small subset of Xerox fonts in any given resource set.
Use this function only if you have manually correlated Xerox fonts to AFP
fonts and code page conflicts occur with Xerox spacing characters and AFP
