Spooler Font Job Considerations For Xerox Printers; Example 7-4. Sample Font Script File Containing Djde Sequences - HP Spooler FASTP Manual

Installation, Configuration, and Usage
Considerations for FASTPXNS
Xerox Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs) can be included after the optional
CONTROLBUF request in the FONT job. These DJDEs can be used to modify the
default print environment. See the Xerox 4050 Reference Manual for details as to the
content of these DJDE commands.
When DJDE commands are included in a FONT job, they should be preceded by a
SETMODE call to enable transparent printing and followed by a SETMODE call to
disable transparent printing. Each DJDE command should be completed with a LF
character. This transparent mode is needed because the DJDE commands do not
result in any data being printed and so FASTPXNS must be told, through the
SETMODE calls, to ignore the LF characters for the purpose of counting lines printed.
Spooler FONT Job Considerations for Xerox
Printers
FONT jobs for Xerox printers typically contain DJDE sequences. The syntax for and
content of these sequences is described in the Xerox 4050 Reference Manual. When
these DJDE sequences are combined with the JDL files resident in the Xerox printer,
these DJDE commands are very powerful and allow extensive customization of
reports.
When specifying DJDE sequences in the Font utility script file, they should be bounded
by SETMODE calls to enable transparent printing. The DJDE sequences do not result
in data being printed. Each DJDE command should start in column one (the default)
and include a LF at the end of each command. (To prevent FASTPXNS from becoming
confused as to the line count, do not let FASTPXNS add the LF.)
Example 7-4 contains a sample script file for the Font utility that shows how DJDE
sequences can be specified:
