Preparing for a print job XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE Before a print job runs, the system administrator, programmer, operator, and LPS work together: • System administrator loads fonts, logos, and signatures to the printer from tape, floppy, or the host. Refer to the DocuPrint 180 LPS Operations Reference for detailed information.
When the input task processes all the data, or reaches page threshold (uses a certain portion of the area reserved for the PRFIL1.SYS file), it notifies the OCS task that the output task can begin. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
Output processing Step 10. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE The steps required during Output processing are summarized below. Step 1. The OCS task sends a message to output indicating that output processing can start. This message includes the address in the PRFIL1.SYS file of the information for the first page to be printed.

Online optimization Copy-sensitive copy modification entries (CME) Report separation XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE Printing is controlled through parameters from the user-defined JDE file which may be dynamically modified by dynamic job descriptor entries. DJDEs are user created and are processed by the LPS as part of the print data from the host machine.
UCSB=IGNORE should be specified if a CODE other than EBCDIC is specified. If UCSB=PROCESS, a UCSB load causes the CODE default to revert to EBCDIC until end of report or until a selected JDE/ JDL is processed. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...

Online recovery XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE In the event of a system failure, data that is formatted for print and stored on disk can be imaged upon system restart if job recovery is requested. Data which was being received and processed at the time of the rollover is lost and requires retransmission.
Each line of data is preceded by a byte count in hexadecimal. Note the following: • DJDEs, banner, and other logical processing functions are not honored when running in the dump mode, so an operator ENDJOB command must be entered to end the dump session. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
Downloading files from the host to the LPS XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE • NO-OP command from the host is not dumped since it is intercepted and processed by the OLI hardware and is transparent to the LPS software.
Note: The DJDE FILE command does not allow a file replacement or deletion transaction to occur if the file to be replaced or deleted is secured and the logon level is not 5. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
Offline mode Host computer tape formats Tape codes XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE For offline operations, the input medium to the printing system is magnetic tape, which may be recorded in one of a variety of standard vendor formats. As a programmer, you define the tape input deblocking and record format parameters that reduce physical tape blocks first to logical records, then to print lines.
BLOCK and RECORD commands specified in the JDL source file. These labels are described in this chapter and in the Xerox LPS Tape Formats Manual. A record is arbitrarily divided into two portions: operating system and user.
Multivolume processing XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE All multivolume reports that force input to make multiple passes over the data are handled in the following manner. For each copy requested, a complete pass is made over the group of volumes that make up the current report.
Cluster features Cluster processing overview XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE 5Defining clusters The DocuPrint 180 LPS provides several methods for feeding paper. There are internal trays (trays 1-3) and a bulk input enablement (tray 7). Each of the input source trays can be addressed and used individually.
FEED=MAIN and FEED=AUX because the system defines the MAIN and AUX trays as clusters to support backwards compatibility. Both clusters are always active regardless of whether they are specified in the active stockset. Note the following: XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
How applications use clusters Simple and OTEXT applications XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE • Do not, however, use FEED=MAIN and FEED=AUX in conjunction with stocksets. • You must use the FEED=MAIN operator command at the start of a job if the data stream is controlling trays, cluster information, and so on.
Tray overlap Do any of the clusters have the same current trays? Sizing error Are all trays the same size? If not, is autosize set? Refer to your Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide for more information. A cluster without these errors has an “in use” status, that is, it has trays and is in the stockset last called by the job.
Defining clusters and stocksets with PDL and DJDE PDL commands DJDEs XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE The PDL commands and DJDEs listed here relate to clusters. For more detailed information on each command, refer to the chapters “Specifying output parameters” and “Specifying dynamic job descriptor entries (DJDEs).”...
Avoid using stocksets with the cover and RAUX options. Cover pages and pages which meet the RAUX criteria are fed from the AUX cluster, overriding the FEED= option (or any other option) specified for these pages. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
Steps for creating clusters XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE The steps you should take to create a cluster are listed below. Figure 5-1 provides a visual representation of these steps. Figure 5-1. Steps for creating clusters Follow these steps: Step 1.

Keeping stockset changes to a minimum Using clusters with ordered stocks XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE Each formatted page is associated with the active stockset and the active FEED= option stock identified by the INIFEED parameter of the STOCKSET command, the FEED parameter of the OUTPUT command, or the FEED DJDE.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE 6Print format commands Print format commands serve many different functions, the most common of which specify the physical characteristics of a print job, define the placement of data on the page, and identify system responses to error conditions.

Note: When running in duplex, line counts for the back sides of the last five (or fewer) pages of each report are not reflected in the system accumulated accounting statistics. SELECT E specifies that all accounting pages are forced to tray. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
Points to note Example XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE Note the following when using the ACCT command: • If the report completion code on the accounting page is non- zero, an accounting page is delivered to the tray even if USER=NONE is coded.
CME specifications may be given in short form to minimize the coding length. In short form, only the first character of a keyword need be given, equal signs are omitted, and commas are not inserted except where necessary to avoid ambiguity. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE Offline Online DJDE...
CONSTANT Options Considerations XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE CMEs need not be part of a user’s JDL. They may be created as separate disk files and used as if they were part of the JDL that references them. This is done by creating a JSL file containing only CMEs and using the PDL processor to compile it.
A font specification applies to input variable data as well as static CME data. If a line number (LINE) and character position (POSITION) but no insertion text (CONSTANT) are specified, the font change specified applies to input variable data at the position specified. XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
LINE Options Considerations XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE This parameter specifies the line range of the CME. Syntax ac :CME LINE = option(s) Table 6-16 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s). Table 6-16. LINE parameter option(s) and definition(s) Option(s)
Font specifications may be specified at any point. The last font specified remains in effect until another font is specified. An example of a CME with these characteristics is as follows: XYZ: CME LINE=(1,10),POS=40,FONT=2,POS=80,FONT=3, XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE...
