PRINT DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE (PDL)
2-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE
Parameter
Each command keyword is followed by parameters used to select its
processing parameters. The parameters for a PDL command
keyword consist of a left and right part separated by an equal sign
(=).
Table 2-1 represents the typical components of a command
statement and provides examples.
Comments
Comments are statements you include in the source file to describe
certain PDL 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 (*/).
Examples are illustrated in figures 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5. Nested
comments may be set within another comment. There is no practical
limit to the level of nesting possible, as long as each nested comment
is preceded by a slash and an asterisk (/*) and succeeded by an
asterisk and a slash (*/). An acceptable nested comment format is as
follows:
/*comment
/*nested comment*/
