PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS
6-86 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE
Long-edge feed mode means the sheet is fed into the paper
path with its long edge first. For papers whose width ranges
from 8.5 inches to 9.01 inches, the Xerox DocuPrint 96/
DocuPrint 96MX LPS prints with slightly reduced productivity.
The reason for this is that for papers in this width range, the
normal image area extends into the inter-image zone that is
normally used for xerographic process controls. In order to
maintain the best productivity possible, xerographic process
controls are temporarily suspended. Periodically, the Xerox
DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS will induce about 14
skipped “images” in order to perform a xerographic process
control check and ensure that the Xerox DocuPrint 96/
DocuPrint 96MX LPS maintains the highest print quality. It will
then resume printing at full productivity.
For any paper size wider than 15.32 inches, 389 mm, in width,
the system automatically switches to 3-pitch mode, which prints
up to 58 pages per minute. For very large paper, 11 inches by
17, inches for example, paper is short edge fed, so that the 11
inch side leads through the printer.
You may also specify pitch mode boundaries in centimeters
(CM), DOTS, and XDOTS. The minimum and maximum scan
values with these units of measurement and the pitch mode
ppm print speeds are shown in table 6-76.
• Purging stock
The Xerox DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS can purge tab
sheets whenever the tab cycle is not in sync with the formatted
data. This may be caused by paper jams or running multiple
jobs in succession. For example, if a typical application had the
following scenario:
Two tab stock jobs to run in succession. Both jobs require tray
1.
Tray two contains the tab stock which has MOD=5.
Job 1 starts with Tab 1 (located in the upper right corner of a
portrait page) and Job 2 must start with Tab 5 (located in the
lowest right corner of the portrait page.)
The number of tabs Job1 will use is 2.
In order to run the job in succession, you must code the JSL
with MOD=5 and POS=1 for Job 1 and MOD=5 and POS=5 for
Job2. The Xerox DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS will keep
track of the last tab position in tray 2 at the end of Job 1. Upon
starting Job 2, the Xerox DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS
will purge Tab 3 and Tab 4 because Job 2 starts with POS=5
and Job 1 used Tab 1 and Tab 2.
You can improve performance by ordering application-
dependent tab stock. By using ordered tab stock which
supports only those number of tabs required for a specific job,
you will eliminate the system from purging unused tabs.
