Keeping Stockset Changes To A Minimum; Using Clusters With Ordered Stocks - Xerox 721P85530 Description

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. A stockset change causes the LPS
output task to make additional checks when a page is to be printed.
These checks can result in a printer cycle down if any cluster in the
new stockset presents a tray overlap or sizing problem. Thus you
should keep stockset changes within applications to a minimum. For
example:
DJDE STOCKS=BILLS1, END;
...data...
DJDE STOCKS=BILLS1, END;
...data...
DJDE STOCKS=BILLS2, END;
...data...
This data stream has three STOCKSET= specifications, but only one
stockset change. Report boundaries are not treated as stockset
changes unless use of the stockset specified in a JDE or JDL makes
a page print on another stockset. For example:
DJDE STOCKS=BILLS1, END;
...data...
REPORT BOUNDARY
...data...
DJDE STOCKS=BILLS1, END;
...data...
DJDE STOCKS=BILLS2, END;
...data...
The data following the report boundary is printed using the JDE or
JDL of the START command. If it does not specify OUTPUT
STOCKS=BILLS1, the stockset changes.
Note: If the stockset changes but the second stockset consists of
the same clusters as the first stockset, no cycle down occurs since,
for printing purposes, the stockset has not changed.
Ordered stocks consist of any repeating sequence of paper stock
types stacked in a tray. These clusters function in the same way other
clusters function.
