CREATING A JOB SOURCE LIBRARY (JSL)
3-18 XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE
Printing the job
Once your JDL is compiled successfully, you can have the LPS print
the actual application using the START command:
START
jde-id
,
jdl-id
The START command specifies the job descriptor library (JDL) and
the job descriptor entry (JDE), also called the JOB for printing.
Refer to the “Non-JDL hierarchy—START command” section in the
“Print description language components and processes” chapter in
this manual or to your
Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide
or
DocuPrint 180 LPS Operations Reference
, for additional information
on the START command.
Page considerations
Now that you have gone through many of the steps and
considerations involved in creating a JSL, the following sections give
you information on these page-related topics:
• Paper sizes
• Page orientations
• Registration shift and skew
Paper sizes
With the laser printing system, paper sizes are considered in terms
of page frames, which are boundaries associated with a page as a
unit of printing or imaging. Three page frames are defined in the
system:
• Physical page
• System page
• Virtual page
In addition to page size, edgemarking and non-imaged elements
must be considered when you design the pages of your applications.
System page
This refers to the maximum image area of the printer. The system
page size varies, depending on the size of the paper you are running
for your job.
Physical page
The physical page is the size of the paper itself. You may select any
page dimensions within a 8- by 10-inch minimum and a 14.33- by 17-
inch maximum. If you have the 7 by 10 option kit installed, then the
minimum size is 7 by 10.
