INCORPORATING XEROX VALUE-ADDED FEATURES

The stitching options are supported for the DocuPrint 4050, 4090, 4850, and 4890 IPS printers.

MarkForm facility

The MarkForm facility was originally implemented for continuous feed printers to put a black mark on the edge of the separator pages. Operators could then easily spot the marks in a stack of paper, making it easier to separate jobs. Cut sheet printers jog the output between reports, thus eliminating the need for the black edge marks.

You specify a MarkForm in the PSF printer attributes for the printer definition. The command can then be modified just as you would any other printer attribute, for example, by using operator commands:

•in an MVS/JES2 environment, use the MODIFY command to change the MarkForm option by specifying the JES2 command $TPRTn, MARK=Y, where n is the printer number

•for a PSF/2 system, specify the MarkForm option in the printer settings dialog box.

You may wish to change the defaults for the printer so it uses the correct MarkForm setting when you IPL or reboot the system.

Offset stacking facility

Offset stacking allows you to separate a report into “documents.” The printer jogs the output bin as each portion of a report is printed. This command can be used for both cut sheet and continuous feed printers.

You specify offset stacking in either the FORMDEF command or the

COPYGROUP subcommand of a FORMDEF:

•specify JOG YES to stack pages in the specified copy group offset from the previous copy group

•specify JOG NO to stack pages in this copy group in line with the previous copy group.

Resource interpolation

Another advantage in using the DocuPrint IPS printers is that you can print your documents originally created for 240 pel resolution at 300 dpi. In addition, the document will be scaled to print at 600 by 600 dpi by the DocuPrint 92C and 4635 IPS and to 600 by 2400 dpi for the DocuPrint 180 IPS.

You can achieve this higher-resolution quality without changing your existing AFP application. Because the DocuPrint IPS printers recognize AFP resources, the fonts used in the application are converted automatically from 240 dpi to either 300 dpi or 600 dpi, as necessary. Graphics are also scaled to the appropriate resolution when the print job is submitted.
