USING GRAPHICS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE 9-3
Block mode
In block mode, a graphic is obtained from the input data stream
immediately following the textual data to be imaged on the same
page (refer to the “Page interleaved” section of this chapter). The
graphic is copied directly to the print file adjacent to the page's
formatted textual information. Separate graphic disk files are not
created. In block mode, the output software reads graphics from the
print file into graphics memory. Block mode graphics exist on disk
only in the print file and only while the report is being processed. No
disk file is created.
A given page of a report which includes block mode graphics may
also include either random mode graphics or move mode graphics.
Batch mode
In batch mode, the input stream contains graphics which are to be
imaged, one per page, with either default or optional imaging
specifications. Batch mode graphics are copied to the print file and
processed the same as block mode graphics. In batch mode, only
one graphic is imaged on each page, (for example, forms may not be
invoked in batch mode). This feature may be invoked by the
GRAPHICS parameter of the OUTPUT command.
