SPECIFYING DYNAMIC JOB DESCRIPTOR ENTRIES (DJDES )
XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE 8- 41
Options Table 8-27 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s).
If an override line spacing value is specified, lines pri nted using the
font cause the indicated line spacing to be performed after the line
using the font. If different fonts are used on the same print line, the
line spacing value specified for the font of the largest character in the
line is used to determine the position of the next print line. (Refer to
the “Points to note” section.)
Points to note
Note the following when using the FONTINDEX and FONTS
commands:
•An xdot is 1/600 unit of measurement. A form specifying xdots,
however, can be created, edited, and compiled on any LPS with
version 3 software, but the form, which is 600 spots per inch
(spi), will not print on your 4850, 4890, 4050, 4090, 4635,
DocuPrint 96, or DocuPrint 180 which accepts only 300 spi
jobs.
•Since there is ambiguity between the FONTINDEX and FONTS
parameters, if either is abbreviated to the first three letters, the
parameter defaults to FONTINDEX.
•In DJDE processing, if the input task (DJD) encounters more
than 127 fonts in a packet, the remaining fonts in the packet are
ignored or truncated. Because the DJDE packet in this case is
truncated, the outcome of the DJDE is unpredictable. Thus, the
DJD task sends the error message:
0S6700 SYNTAX ERROR IN DJDE.

This option has the following components:
•
f
1
Each font index (f1) specifies a 1 to 6
alphanumeric character identifier (consisting of
at least one letter) corresponding to a font
cataloged on the system disk (up to 128 fonts
can be used with the font indexing capability
and up to 94 fonts on a single page). If the
number of fonts to be invoked exceeds the size
of one DJDE record , multiple FONTS
parameters must be used.
•
s
1
Each spacing index (s1) value specifies an
optional override line spacing value specifying
either lines per inch or dots per line to be
associated with the font; maximum value for s1
is 30 LPI; minimum value is 10 XDOTS or dots.
If a unit (LPI, XDOTS, or DOTS) is not
specified, LPI is used as the default.
