PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE 6- 89
stock. Having recognized it, INPUT then adds n dots (width
of the tab) to the paper size in the slow scan direction. The
IOT disables any dynamic width checking whenever it
encounters a tab.
The portrait/landscape parameter of the OSTK stat ement
allows either to be specified. The only one supported by the
DocuPrint 180 is portrait (P), and this is the default
condition. If landscape (L) is selected, and the actual tab
stock is loaded such that the tab is located on the
registration edge (outboard), this combination will not run
due to skew induced jams within the IOT.
In ordered stock tab jobs, care must be exercised when
selecting the PFEED tray. Ordered stock jam recovery does
not work properly if the tray selected for PFEED con tains
ordered stock.
Example: Job 1 starts with Tab 1 (located in the upper right
corner of a portrait page) and Job 2 must start with Tab 5
(located in the lowest right corner of the portrait page). The
number of tabs Job 1 will use is 2.
In order to run the job in succession, you must code the JSL
with MOD=5 and POS=1 for Job 1 and MOD=5 and POS =5
for Job 2. The DocuPrint 180 does keep track of the la st tab
position in tray 2 at the end of Job 1. Upon starting Job 2,
the DocuPrint 180 purges Tab 3 and Tab 4 because Job 2
starts with POS=5 and Job1 used Tab 1 an d Tab 2.
You can improve performance by ordering application
dependent tab stock. By using ordered tab stock which
supports only those number of tabs required fo r a specific
job, eliminates the need for purging unused tabs.
— At the time the system makes validity checks for BEGIN
values and graphic positioning, input processing cannot
determine if the current physical page is tab stock.
However, if the OSTK command is specified, the input task
will allow a tolerance of n inches (where n is the width of
the tab specified in the OSTK command when performing
validity checks on BEGIN values and graphic positioning).
In addition, the FEED=tab-stock DJDE must precede an y
printable text data which will be printed on the tab.
— When running tab stock jobs:
– Do not include the width of the tab when specifying
paper size in the job setup.
– Include the width of the tab when reporting it to the
printer on the printer control console “Tray size”
screen or the system UI Set Tray Size command.
– Dedicate one tray for tab stock.
— When Using DJDEs, specify:
