SPECIFYING DYNAMIC JOB DESCRIPTOR ENTRIES (DJDES)
8-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE
Benefits of using DJDEs
Some of the benefits derived from changing th ese job parameters
with DJDEs are as follows:
•The printing system does not stop between reports nor does it
require operator intervention. The operator starts up a job o n
the printing system and typically returns to it only when minor
operational activity is required.
•Forms may be changed on a page-to-page basis.
•Many variations on VFU channel, margin, and top- and bottom-
of-form assignments may be applied to reports as they are
created instead of being stored in the printing system through
JDEs. Thus, the number of JDEs required for job processing is
reduced.
•Unusual processing requirements may be satisfied through the
use of DJDEs.
•Varying numbers of copies can be generated automatically with
routing or distribution notification sent to the operator.
•Nonprint data can be downloaded for storage on the LPS
system disks through the print stream.
In the following sections of this chapter, note that some DJDE
parameters show a default value. This is the default value u sed if the
parameter is not specified in either a DJDE or the current JDE or JDL.
If the parameter is not specified in a DJDE but is spe cified in the
current JDE or JDL, the JDE or JDL value remains in effect.
