Specifying print format parameters

OUTPUT FEED	• “FEED =stockreference” must refer to a stock assigned to a
parameter: points	stockname by the STOCKSET command that has been
to note	specified for the report.
	• The MAIN stock is the default for system generated pages
	and is used if no SYSPAGE stock is specified.
	• The DP EPS software comes with MAIN, AUX, and AUTO
	stocks defined.
	• If the OUTPUT FEED command and the RAUX command
	specify two different stock names, RAUX has higher priority.
	• The ‘stockname’ option bypasses the stock reference feature,
	but it still requires that the stock name be specified in the
	current STOCKSET command. (FEED=stockreference is the
	recommended usage.)
	OUTPUT FORMAT
	Specifies a page descriptor entry (PDE) to be used in formatting
	the printed output, such as location of starting print line for each
	logical page on the physical page, font usage, and orientation.
Syntax	OUTPUT FORMAT = pdeid
	NOTE: To ensure readability, enter the entire parameter
	FORMAT. Do not abbreviate to “FOR.”

Option	Definition
pdeid	page descriptor entry identifier
	References a page descriptor entry that was either defined previously in the
	JDL or catalogued as a separate file in the “lcds” resources folder on disk.
	Refer to “Coding a JSL” in the “PDL principles and procedures” chapter, for
	information on creating and compiling PDE files using the XJDC processor.)

Default FMT1

OUTPUT FORMAT Standard pdeids, such as FMT1 and FMT2, are defined in the parameter: point “PDE command” section, later in this chapter. These standard

to note PDEs are delivered with the printing system software and may be used unless a specialized PDE is required. The choice of active PDE may subsequently be replaced entirely or modified in part through DJDEs.
