XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE A-1
A. APDL command and DJDEsummary
This appendix may be used as a quick reference for information
about PDL commands and command parameters. The following
definitions describe the conventions used in this appendix.

Conventions

Symbols used in the command syntax are listed in table A-1.
The LPS column indicates the laser printing system to which the
command or parameter applies. ALL means that t he command is
applicable to all laser printing systems operating with version 3
software or higher.
The “Online” and “Offline” columns specify the input data stream
modes of operation for the LPS. A Y for a particular parameter means
the parameter is available for that processing mode. An N means the
parameter is not available for that mode.
The “DJDE orientation” column indicates whether a command or
parameter has an equivalent DJDE and, if so, specifies whether the
DJDE is page- or record-oriented.
