DEFINING CLUSTERS
5-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE
What clusters do for the programmer and operator
As the programmer, you group any combination of trays into a
cluster. Group the trays together because they hold the same stock
or they hold stock which differs only in size. You can specify the
cluster’s paper stock by any combination of weight, color, size, and
so on. Use clusters to include instructions within the report
identifying:
• Clusters needed by the report, that is, the report "stockset"
•
Particular cluster to be used to print each particular page
•
Recommended trays for loading the stock.
Then you store the defined clusters in the CLUSTR.LIB file through
the cluster (CLP or CLU) commands described in your
Xerox
DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS Operations Reference.
CLUSTR.LIB, the printer’s cluster database, stores up to 159
clusters. The clusters can be called by all jobs run on the system.
Since jobs often require various stocks, you also define cluster
groups as “stocksets.” The stocksets can also be called by all jobs
run on the system.
The operator uses clusters to decrease how often you load stocks.
The operator verifies job and cluster status and overrides tray
specifications for clusters through the cluster (CLU) commands
described in your
Xerox DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS
Operations Reference. The cluster definitions inform you which
stocks to load in which trays for queued jobs.
When an operator loads trays without entering CLU commands, the
system assumes that the trays have been refilled and no cluster
changes have occurred.
