Page 9: Overview
Overview XDL Features and Functions 1 Overview 1.1 XDL Features and Functions Print description language (XDL) is used to describe printing jobs to a LCDS-Module. XDL accomplishes this by: • Describing the input (type, format, characteristics). • Describing the processing functions (logical processing).
Page 10: Lcds-Module Components And Overview
LCDS-Module Components and Overview Overview 1.2 LCDS-Module Components and Overview Before discussing XDL commands in detail, a general understanding of LCDS-Module components and functions is helpful. The following sections provide such a general over- view. 1.3 Preparing for a Print Job...
Page 11: Line Data
Overview Input Data Types 1.5.1 Line Data Line data - that is, raw data from a computer file including PCC-commands. • The raw data can be sent to the LCDS-Module offline from magnetic tape or online from a channel-attached host or over the network If you are using the LCDS-Module to create reports or other documents from unformatted data, several elements are required to complete the job: •...
Page 12: Xerox Print Description Language (Xdl)
Hierarchy of replacement 1.6.1 Purpose of XDL For a job to be printed on a LCDS-Module, it is necessary to create a file of XDL commands to define the format of the input media, processing requirements, and the format of the print- ed output.
Page 13 TABLE, CRITERIA, CME, PDE, and so on. A command keyword is required for each XDL command statement. Parameter Each command keyword is followed by parameters used to select its processing parame- ters. The parameters for an XDL command keyword consist of a left and right part separat- ed by an equal sign (=). A29247-X4-X-8-7672...
Page 14 POSITION=5, FONT=2; Comments Comments are statements you include in the source file to describe certain XDL commands and their functions. These comments can act as reminders if you, or someone else modifies the JSL at a later time. Comments may appear anywhere within the JSL. They must be preceded by the character sequence slash and asterisk (/*), and terminated by the character sequence asterisk and slash (*/).
Page 15 VFU=VFU1, DATA=(1,10), OVERPRINT=(PRINT,DISP); XDL commands are only accepted in the first 72 characters of each row/line. You may use the LCDS configuration tool (see the Administrator’s Guide) to use lower case (”CaseMode” Parameter) or more than 72 characters (”LineMode” Parameter).
Page 16 Xerox Print Description Language (XDL) Overview Value constants Value constants are constants that have arithmetic values. They should be expressed as decimal numbers. They may be expressed as hexadecimal values, octal values, or even character values, but these expressions are not recommended. Decimal constants may be signed and in some cases may have fractional digits, for example: PDE BEGIN=(1.1, .37);...
Page 17 Normally used as string constants, each pair of hexadecimal characters results in one byte. A hexadecimal constant must immediately be preceded by the characters X apostrophe (X') to indicate to the XDL compiler that the following expression is in hexadecimal. For exam- ple: IDEN PREFIX=X'C1C2C3C4';...
Page 18 Xerox Print Description Language (XDL) Overview The ASCII string type allows hexadecimal representation of characters to be embedded in a string. This is done by preceding the hexadecimal representation of the character with an ! character. For example: IDEN PREFIX=A'ABC!44EF'...
Page 19 Overview Xerox Print Description Language (XDL) • 'ink-catalog-name.palette-name.inkname' • 'ink-catalog-name..inkname' When ink-catalog-name or palette-name are missing the appropriate IDR command para- meters will be used. (Refer to the IDR command description.) In JSL files basically only primary colour specifications are allowed, no shaded colours.
Page 20: Job Source Library (Jsl) Structure
Job Source Library (JSL) Structure Overview 1.7 Job Source Library (JSL) Structure To simplify JSL coding, XDL commands are grouped into command levels. The use and syntax of command levels, along with the required END command, are defined in the fol- lowing sections: •...
Page 21 For example, the ID level contains one or more VFU commands. As with the other command levels any XDL command can be specified at the ID level. The ID level must be preceded by JDL coding, which names the JSL. For example: XSML: JDL;...
Page 22 Job Source Library (JSL) Structure Overview System or JDL level A system or JDL command set establishes installation-dependent requirements and default values for job descriptor entries. At the system level, JDL may be used interchangeably with SYSTEM. At the system level, commands are specified which apply to all job descriptor en- tries (JDEs) identified within a job source library (JSL).
Page 23 For each job, values not specified in any of the command sets are taken from the XDL defaults as defined in appendix A. The JOB or JDE command has the following form:...

Page 30: Steps In Creating A Jsl
Keep in mind that the specifications to select in your JSL can be changed easily. By using the IDEN command you can allow DJDEs to override XDL commands on a page- by-page or record-by-record basis. Also, certain operator commands can alter the print job in such areas as the number of copies to be printed, the sequencing of reports, and paper feed specifications.
Page 31: 3Setting Up Input Parameters
Overview Steps in creating a JSL 1.13.3 Setting up input parameters Next, you may want to specify the input data characteristics for the application. The basic input processing commands are BLOCK, CODE, PCC, RECORD, TCODE, and VOLUME. Input processing characteristics vary depending on the data source. For example, if your JSL is for an online application, the BLOCK command is not applicable.
Page 32: 5Specifying Use Of Djdes
Overview 1.13.5 Specifying use of DJDEs Most XDL commands can also appear in the form of DJDEs, which allow page-by-page or record-by-record modifications to your applications. In order to use DJDEs, an IDEN com- mand must be specified in the JSL to advise the system where to look for them in the input data stream.
Page 33: 8Using Copy Modification Entries
Overview Steps in creating a JSL 1.13.8 Using copy modification entries Copy modification entries (CMEs) allow you to change report output on static data and to change fonts within variable data. Sample CMEs follow: CME1:CME LINE=(9,-),POS=1,FONT=1; CME2:CME LINE=3,POS=59, CONSTANT='FIRST QUARTER’; 1.13.9 Specifying output requirements There are many specifications you can select to define the manner and look of your printed application.

Page 35: Page Orientation
Overview Page Orientation 1.15 Page Orientation There are two types of page orientation: • Landscape • Portrait 1.15.1 Landscape orientation Text elements are placed parallel to the long edge of the logical page. The horizontal edge is longer than the vertical edge. FMT1: equivalent impact printer format, 6 lines per inch 1.15.2 Portrait orientation Text elements are placed parallel to the short edge of the logical page.
Page 36: Fonts
Fonts Overview 1.16 Fonts A font is a character set which has a unique type style, type size, and orientation. Both fixed and proportionally spaced fonts are available for use on an PRISMAproduction LCDS-Mod- ule. Each font character occupies an area called a character cell. All character cells in a fixed font are the same width.

In the case of record processing, it is the offset from the start of the user's portion of the record to the field in the record being compared.
Page 146 CRITERIA Command Using Logical Processing for the TEST to be successful. If OR is coded, then if either CRITERIA command is satisfied for a data record, the TEST is successful. The second and third Test parameters are optional; but if either is specified, the other must also be present.
Page 147 Using Logical Processing CRITERIA Command Constant mode In the constant mode, the user must specify the location, length, and contents of a fixed field within a user's record or block. Each user's record or block is examined at the specified lo- cation to determine if the constant is present (the identifier tab-id defines the table contain- ing the constant).

Used either to modify a set of standard default type assignments or to define a completely new set.
Page 152: Table Command
TABLE Command Using Logical Processing 4.4 TABLE Command The TABLE command is used to build a table of constants for use by the logical processing commands. Each constant included in a TABLE command is examined by the system to see if it is equal in value to the input data field specified in the CONSTANT parameter of the CRITERIA command.
Page 153 Using Logical Processing TABLE Command Parameter Definition(s) CONSTANT= [,sc ][,...]) is a string of constants composed of literal characters and masking characters (as defined by the MASK parameter of this command). All string constants must be of the same length in bytes. The number of bytes for all constants in the table (after conversion of any hexadecimal or octal constants) is limited to 255 bytes.
Page 154 TABLE Command Using Logical Processing The characters used in the MASK parameter occupy numbered positions, beginning with 0, separated by commas. These position numbers in the MASK parameter are used as type numbers. Therefore, the mask character to type associations listed are made for the above TABLE command.
Page 155: Banner Command
Using Logical Processing BANNER Command 4.5 BANNER Command The stacked reports feature enables the online and offline user to define a series of reports in a single file. This is accomplished by specifying an end-of-report condition in the coded logical processing commands RSTACK (online and offline) and BANNER (online use only).

Page 163: Rfeed Command
Using Logical Processing RFEED Command 4.9 RFEED Command The logical processing RFEED command allows you to change stock names on a page-by- page basis without using DJDEs. The RFEED command allows you to specify paper fed from different stocks if certain criterias are met on a record basis. RFEED is essentially an extension of the RAUX-command in that it allows you to specify virtually any stock-name or stock-reference without being limited to the AUX input bin.
Page 164 RFEED Command Using Logical Processing TABLE CONSTANT (‚GHI‘); CRITERIA CONSTANT (4,3,EQ,T1); CRITERIA CONSTANT (4,3,EQ,T2); CRITERIA CONSTANT (15,3,EQ,T3); RFEED TEST = (C1,‘RED‘), (C2,‘BLUE‘), (C3, ‚GREEN‘)); In this example, the processing checks C1, C2 and then C3. If C2 and C3 satisfy the spec- ified criteria, the C2-cluster has priority over the C3-cluster due to its position in the JSL.
Page 165: Rselect And Rdelete Commands
Using Logical Processing RSELECT and RDELETE Commands 4.10 RSELECT and RDELETE Commands Interspersed records within one report or file may either be deleted from or selected for printing by use of the RDELETE and RSELECT commands.

Using Logical Processing RSTACK Command In non-delimiter mode (DELIMITER=NO), a single record separates one report from the next. After satisfying the TEST criteria, this record is considered part of the subsequent re- port. In this mode the delimiter record cannot be printed to the tray, that is, PRINT option not available when DELIMITER=NO.
Page 170 RSTACK Command Using Logical Processing • If ACCTINFO is not specified in the JDE or JDL of the START command, it can be invoked in a selected JDE or JDL. The first record after the selected JDE takes ef- fect is then printed as the ACCTINFO field. The following sections describe the syntax of the command parameters and explanations of the parameter options.
Page 171 Using Logical Processing RSTACK Command Parameter Definition(s) PRINT= NONE NONE Specifies that report delimiters are not to be printed. For DELIMITER=NO, no page is printed. If the report is being printed in duplex mode, report delimiters are printed on a single-sided duplex output page. The parameter BOTH in duplex is treated as BIN.

Using Logical Processing RSUSPEND and RRESUME Commands 4.13 RSUSPEND and RRESUME Commands The print suppression logical processing function permits the user to delete from printing groups of records that are distinguishable at the start and end, but whose intermediate records may not be unique or distinguishable. (Print suppression or resumption is invoked by the use of two separate commands—RSUSPEND and RRESUME.) The tests for each command are independent and must be described separately.
Page 174 Make sure that if an RSUSPEND command is coded, an RRESUME command must also be present for the job. A warning is issued by the XDL compiler if one command, but not both, is invoked for a job. However, the JDE is compiled as pro- grammed.

Job Parameter Modification Restrictions Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs) 5.7 Job Parameter Modification Restrictions To process a DJDE, the system has already been required to process data up to the rec- ognition and interpretation of the DJDE itself. This requires that the basic description of the input source must have been correct prior to the application of the DJDE.

Highlight Color Support General 6 Highlight Color Support 6.1 General Color documents – process color and highlight color or custom tone – are becoming in- creasingly more important. Beginning with PRISMA+LCDS V2.02 the advantage of true color is available in its essen- tials for the first time, even without support of the full LCDS command set.

Highlight Color Support Implementation 6.2 Implementation The printing method used by Océ for all printers except the VarioStream 9220 causes a reg- ister deviation, since black and color are printed in two separate but consecutive processes. Fusing after the first pass causes the paper to shrink. This shrinkage – or rather the result- ing register deviation –...

Page 220: Lcds Language Resources
LCDS Language Resources Highlight Color Support 6.3 LCDS Language Resources The Xerox highlight color commands are supported for the first time in PRISMA+LCDS V2.02. It should be noted that due to differing Océ and Xerox print processes a 1:1 representation of Xerox 4850 and 4890 applications is not possible.
Page 221: Restrictions
The following table briefly outlines which Xerox statements are supported in LCDS and which are subject to restrictions. All color-specific extensions are implemented by the XDL syntax check. The Support column shows the level of support, when processing variable data. Generally all commands and options are completely syntax checked.
