AGILE 5250 ALLY Users Guide and ReferencePage A-4
Well-Formed XES Jobs
The XES command set provides several commands that are used to declare
the beginning of a print job. Each of these commands declares the
beginning of a different type of job. The XES command set also includes a
command to end the print job.
This users manual uses the term well-formed to refer to an XES
print job that uses XES commands to delimit the beginning and end of
a print job.
Auto PFS suppression
Auto PFS suppression uses the format of a well-formed XES job to
automatically begin and end PFS suppression.
In the XES command set, there are four different commands that can be
used to begin a job. These commands indicate to the printer that a new
print job has begun. These commands are listed below:
s+Pd Print Job
s+Qd Print Job (mixed orientation)
s+Md Merge Page Load
s+Nd Form Load
where d indicates a line ending.
When Auto PFS suppression is active, the 5250 ALLY automatically
begins PFS suppression mode when it sees one of these XES commands in
the data stream. Auto PFS suppression is ended when the 5250 ALLY sees
the XES job end command in the data stream:
s+Xd Reset
These job begin and end commands are part of the XES command set.
Although these are the commands normally used to begin and end XES
mode print jobs, Xerox printers are forgiving if they are not in the data
stream.
In order for Auto PFS suppression to work, the XES job must be
started and ended with these commands.
