CREATING A JOB SOURCE LIBRARY (JSL)

XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE

Printing the job

Once your JDL is compiled successfully, you can have the LPS print
the actual application using the START command:

START

jde-id,jdl-id

The START command specifies the job descriptor library (JDL) and
the job descriptor entry (JDE), also called the JOB for printing.
Refer to the “Non-JDL hierarchy—START command” section in the
“Print description language components and processes” chapter in
this manual or to your

Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide or

DocuPrint 180 LPS Operations Reference, for additional information
on the START command.

Page considerations

Now that you have gone through many of the steps and
considerations involved in creating a JSL, the following sections give
you information on these page-related topics:

Paper sizes

Page orientations

Registration shift and skew

Paper sizes

With the laser printing system, paper sizes are considered in terms
of page frames, which are boundaries associated with a page as a
unit of printing or imaging. Three page frames are defined in the
system:

Physical page

System page

Virtual page

In addition to page size, edgemarking and non-imaged elements
must be considered when you design the pages of your applications.

System page

This refers to the maximum image area of the printer. The system
page size varies, depending on the size of the paper you are running
for your job.

Physical page

The physical page is the size of the paper itself. You may select any
page dimensions within a 8- by 10-inch minimum and a 14.33- by 17-
inch maximum. If you have the 7 by 10 option kit installed, then the
minimum size is 7 by 10.
