PDL principles and procedures

Printing highlight color applications on FreeFlow Print Server LCDS systems

If you have a Xerox 4850, 4890, or DP92C HighLight Color LPS, or the FreeFlow Print Server-based Xerox DT128/155/180 HLC Printing System, your applications probably include the use of highlight color (one color plus black). The JDLs used to print these applications contain commands and parameters that specify the location and the color ink to be used. These color JDLs may also contain commands indicating what the system should do if a JDL specifies a different color ink from what is loaded in the printer.

The FreeFlow Print Server LCDS systems can print jobs that were designed for the 4850, 4890, or DP92C LPS and contain color commands. When you run a highlight color job on non- highlight-color systems, the job prints in black ink. (Some solid colored or shaded areas may print in various shades of gray.)

The following table lists the highlight color related PDL commands, parameters, and DJDEs.
