Xerox 701P21091 manual Input for graphics

Using PDL commands for graphics

Graphics DJDEs are record oriented because they take effect immediately. For example, ALTER, CANCEL, and IMAGE may appear anywhere on the page and are applied to the page on which they occur. Page oriented DJDEs to be applied to the next page must not precede Batch mode or page interleaved graphics to be applied to the current page.

Refer to the “Using dynamic job descriptor entries (DJDEs)” chapter for more information.

Input for graphics

Named graphics, like other resource files, may be imported to the system disk from magnetic tape, CD ROM, or diskette. They can also be downloaded from the host by using the FTP process or by FILE DJDE processing.

Graphics may be input either separately from, or interleaved with, textual data. If the graphics are input separately, they are recorded as permanent disk files. If they are interleaved, they may or may not be recorded as permanent disk files. (Refer to “Graphic processing modes,” later in this chapter.)

A graphic is typically incorporated into a document by a DJDE record occurring with the data targeted for the same simplex sheet or duplex side in which the graphic appears. Additionally, a graphic may be referenced in a form, so that use of the form automatically includes the graphic.

NOTE: The DP 2000 Series EPS can handle highlight colored graphics (one color plus black) from a Xerox 4850, 4890, or DP92C HighLight Color Laser Printing System (it prints them in shades of black). However, the systems cannot process multicolor graphics.
