SPECIFYING DYNAMIC JOB DESCRIPTOR ENTRIES (DJDES)
8-34 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE
Points to note
Note the following when using the FONTINDEX and FONTS
commands:
• An xdot is 1/600 unit of measurement. A form specifying xdots,
however, can be created, edited, and compiled on any LPS with
version 3 software, but the form, which is 600 spots per inch
(spi), will not print on your 4850, 4890, 4050, 4090, 4635, or
DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX which accepts only 300 spi jobs.
• Since there is ambiguity between the FONTINDEX and FONTS
parameters, if either is abbreviated to the first three letters, the
parameter defaults to FONTINDEX.
•
In DJDE processing, if the input task (DJD) encounters more
than 127 fonts in a packet, the remaining fonts in the packet are
ignored or truncated. Because the DJDE packet in this case is
truncated, the outcome of the DJDE is unpredictable. Thus, the
DJD task sends the error message:
0S6700 SYNTAX ERROR IN DJDE.
FORMAT
This parameter specifies an entirely new page descriptor entry (PDE)
to be used for formatting control. It takes effect on the next page
boundary.
Syntax FORMAT = option(s)
Options Table 8-28 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s).

pde-id Refers to a separately cataloged file in the PDE
library on disk. Parameters of the selected PDE,
such as BEGIN, FONTS, and PMODE, may also be
modified on an individual basis. Further information
is contained in the “Page descriptors—PDE
command” section in the chapter “Print format
commands.”
