Finishing
NOTE: Subset finishing can also be performed at the FreeFlow workstation through the Document Scan and Make Ready application.
Subset offset (Page Level Jog)
The printer has the ability to offset on a page level. This support allows VIPP to be utilized for offset type applications. This ability permits jobs to be sent as one larger file with page level offset commands.
The term “Jog” is used to initiate offset behavior.
•setpagedevice jog 0 (The offset command is “OFF”).
•setpagedevice jog 3 (The offset command is “ON”).
A job with a multiple copy count with a “jog 3” should force offsets between each distinct set. A job with a copy count of 1 can contain “jog 0” or “jog 3” on a page by page basis. The system will alternate offsets between each alternating jog 3 and jog 0 command.
The following information should be considered when using the “Jog” command:
•The first jog command on a page will be honored and all others will be ignored.
•Multiple cases of jog 3 without the corresponding job 0’s will be ignored.
•The Printer Manager’s setting of offset “ON” or “OFF” should not impact the action of the PDL level jog commands. For example, if the Printer Manager’s offset is set to “OFF” and a job has a jog 3, then the sets should be offset from one another.
•The DT/DP 75/90 allows subset offsets to the top tray. However, the 61xx is not mechanically capable of jogging to the top tray.
PCL offset/separator/subset finishing command
The use of the PCL separator command, <ESC>&l1T, in combination with Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server queue defaults, enables subset finishing for PCL jobs. The PCL separator command defines offset segments of a job. PCL does not commonly support finishing. However, the use of the PCL separator command allows offset segments of a job to be finished based on the finishing default set on the queue. For example, if the queue default is portrait stitch, all segments of a job where the PCL separator command has been used will be stitched.
The placement guidelines are as follows:
