LCDS (Line Conditioned Data Stream)

System Guide
LCDS (Line Conditioned Data Stream) jobs are accepted from a
channel-attached mainframe, from networked workstations and
from a tape client.

The Process of Printing an LCDS Job

Before LCDS data can be sent to the printer, the printer operator
must perform the following tasks:
• Load all the resources on the printer. These resources include
fonts, images, forms, and the printing instructions.
Every LCDS job requires resources such as fonts, images,
forms, logos, and a JSL. These resources must be loaded at
the workstation prior to running the job. You can view and print
a list of LCDS resources on the system.
• Set up the trays
• Activate the queue
• Load the paper for the job to print properly
When the printer is set up for a job's requirements, the host
operator can send the job data. When printing is complete, the
printer operator performs procedures to end the data transfer. This
can be done automatically by a timer or by a command in the data
stream.
NOTE: Sometimes LCDS jobs are so large that they can fill or
exceed the hard disk capacity of the system. The Job Partitioning
feature enables the system to manage the internal disk capacity.
Select [Setup: System Preferences] and select the Job Policy tab
to make partitioning selections.
