SPECIFYING DYNAMIC JOB DESCRIPTOR ENTRIES (DJDES)
XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE 8-35
COPIES
This parameter specifies the number of copies of a report to produce
at the next page boundary. In duplex processing, if COPIES appears
before the back side of a duplex page, a blank back sheet is output,
and the print data continues on the next front page. If number is set
to zero, this copy count remains in effect until a new copy count or
end of report is encountered. DJDEs encountered while number is
zero is in effect are processed normally.
The number of copies specified in the DJDE overrides the number of
copies in the OUTPUT command. You may encounter problems
when the copy count at the start of the report is 1 (either by virtue of
the JDE or the last DJDE encountered at the start of report), and the
copy count is later increased. There is no problem if the
COPIES=DJDE is in the delimiter at the start of report and the value
of the COPIES=DJDE is at least 2. The problem is caused when
output processing releases space as soon as it believes that it no
longer needs it.
The following procedures are suggested to avoid the problem:
• Set the number of copies of the first page to 2 or higher.
• Include a copy-sensitive CME.
• The COPIES parameter in the START command can be used.
COPIES parameter in the START command overrides the
DJDE parameter, COPIES=; in this case, the DJDE COPIES=
parameter is not applied. Therefore, it is possible to run the
same job with the COPIES parameter in the START command
and one without the COPIES parameter in the START
command and get two different outputs.
