Xerox 701P21091 manual IDR command

Specifying print format parameters

IDR command

Allows you to define default ink catalogs, palettes, and inks.

ac identifier You must specify an ac identifier when defining an IDR. This identifier is referenced by the OUTPUT IDR parameter or the IDR DJDE. If a JSL contains an IDR command, but does not specify an IDR name, the following message appears when the JSL is compiled:

IDR FILE WILL BE USED DURING PRINTING.

The IDR command may be coded as part of the JSL or created as separate files that may be referenced by JDLs or DJDEs. (A separate file is created by the XJDC compiler when the commands that define the IDR are coded outside the JSL. The IDR command identifier is used as the filename.) An IDR that is created as a separate disk file may be used as if it were part of the JDL that references it.

If a DJDE will call the IDR, the IDR must be defined before the JDL command, so that the IDR is saved on the system disk as a separate file.

NOTE: The IDR command is a highlight color command that is recognized by printers such as the Xerox 4850, 4890, and DP92C LPS. It may be included in JSLs that are created on your monochrome system for highlight color printing. If the system encounters this command when printing, it is ignored.

IDR overrides The OUTPUT IDR parameter references an IDR command (with appropriate parameters) for each job. These IDRs are used for the job unless they are overridden by other commands or command parameters. For example, the IDFAULT parameter of the OUTPUT command can override an ink specified in an IDR that has been referenced in a job.

The default ink is defined according to the following override sequence:

1.The IDFAULT DJDE has highest priority.

2.The OUTPUT IDFAULT parameter has the next priority at the job level.

3.A catalog level default overrides a system level default if it is specified at the job level.

4.A system level default has next priority if it is not overridden at the catalog or job levels.
