XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-11
Software features
The following special IPS software features provide system flexibility.
Mixed paper sizes within a job
The IPS can print jobs that call for a mix of paper sizes, without
needing to interrupt or slow down printing.
An example of such an application would be a multi-page billing
statement consisting of:
•
One or more 8 1/2 by 11-inch sheets itemizing charges, and
•
A final 8 1/2 by 14-inch page containing the rest of the billing
items, the total amount due, and a tear-off section to mail back
with payment.
Note: When a print job calls for paper sizes that span over different
pitch modes, the software will either cycle down or run at a lower
pitch mode, based on the different pitch modes required, the paper
sizes called for, the speed of the printer, and the time it takes to shut
down the printer.
Note: Paper size and printer trays cannot be changed while the job
is running.
Tray selection capabilities
You can select a different input tray or output bin for each job. You
can also select a different input tray for each page of a job.
Input tray With the input tray selection capability at the Copy Subgroup level,
you can select a different input tray for each copy of a page of a job.
You can use this capability to print each page of a multiple-part form
on a different color paper stock, or to print the cover of a job on a card
stock and to print specific pages within the job on a different color
stock.
To specify a different input tray for each job, use the BIN command
in the SUBGROUP level of the COPYGROUP in the FORMDEF.
Output tray With the output bin selection capability you can select a different
output bin group for each print job. This selection requires two steps:
1. At the host, set the JCL keyword OUTBIN in the OUTPUT
statement to specify a bin number from 1 to 65535, or use the
OUTBIN command in the FORMDEF to specify a bin number
from 1 to 255.
2. At the graphical user interface, use the Output Configuration
window to group the trays. You must also select Allow Host
Control from the Bin Selection Mode pull-down menu.
