BASIC CONCEPTS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM PRODUCT GUIDE 2-7
Special processing
Special processing features distinguish the Xerox LPS from an
impact printer. By using commands such as RFEED, ROFFSET,
and RPAGE you can specify that certain logical functions including:
switching paper trays, offsetting certain pages or logically
repositioning a page, be performed during the printing process.
Refer to the
Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS PDL Reference
for more
information on these command functions.
DJDE Dynamic Job Descriptor Entry (DJDE) command enables you to
modify the printing environment dynamically. These commands are
inserted into the input data stream to modify command
characteristics of the existing JDE. DJDEs can take effect on a
report-to-report, page-to-page, and record-to-record basis. Refer to
the
Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS PDL Reference
for more information.
CME A Copy Modification Entry (CME) command enables you to replace
certain parts of a report with predefined static data on selected
copies or to specify font changes within the variable data. Refer to
the
Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS PDL Reference
for more information.
Output
The final production phase is output. The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS
provides powerful finishing and disbursement features. You can
have a true cover-to-cover printing process on any job. This means
that an inventory stock report job could have:
• Blue card stock front cover, with the title in a 24-point bold font
• Forty-nine pages of equipment inventory, with the last page
designed to summarize totals
• Thirty-seven pages of equipment description, with pricing
information removed and a shaded grid filling all page columns
• A matching blue card stock back cover printed on the reverse
side with “END OF REPORT” in a 14-point bold font.
Each copy of the inventory report can be offset in a stacker bin (no
offsetting in the sample tray) for easy identification, with a routing
sheet on top of each offset stack which contains such information as
“Jones and Smith Supplies, Inc.” This particular feature is useful
when individual copies must be separated for binding or distribution
to different groups. By adding the optional bypass transport and a
third-party finisher to your Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS, you expand
your finishing choices for your report to include options such as
making it into a booklet and shrink wrapping it.
