Preparing for a print job

Before a print job runs, the system administrator, programmer,
operator, and LPS work together:

•

System administrator loads fonts, logos, and signatures to the
printer from tape, floppy, or the host. Refer to the

DocuPrint 180

LPS Operations Reference for detailed information.

•

System administrator determines the fonts, forms, and graphics
system parameters needed by the job.

•

Programmer creates the JSL and FSL source files.

•

Programmer invokes the FDL compiler to compile the FSL files
into form (FRM) files for the print job.

•

Programmer invokes the PDL compiler to compile the source
files into CME, TST, PDE, JDL, LIB, and STK object files for the
print job.

•

Operator resets the system parameters to match the fonts,
forms, and graphic requirements of the job.

•

LPS completes any foreground processing and waits in IDLE
status for the operator to enter the START command with the
JDE and JDL for the print job.
