XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE

Example 1

START J12,H2SYS

This command starts a print job using the H2SYS job descriptor
library and the job descriptor entry J12. It runs in multiple report mode
(by default) and prints the number of copies as specified in the J12
job descriptor entry. The job descriptor library, H2SYS, must reside
in the JDL directory. After the START command is initiated, several
messages display to inform the operator of the print jobs in progress.
In most instances, only one more command entry is required. An
example of an offline interaction is shown in Figure 2-7 below.

Starting an offline print job

Example 2

START J12,H2SYS,,5

This command is the same as in example 1 with the exception that
five copies are requested. The value of 5 entered for copies overrides
the value specified in the J12 job descriptor entry. Note that a comma
replaces the unspecified mode option; therefore, the default mode,
multiple report, takes effect.

Example 3

START

Since no options are specified, the START command defaults take
effect. The default for the job descriptor library is DFAULT, which
must exist in the JDL directory. The job descriptor entry used is
DFLT, which must exist in the DFAULT JDL. The command
START,DFAULT has the same effect.

Example 4

START J12,H2SY&S,,2,REPORTS:3-4

This command reprints two copies of the third and fourth reports on
the data tape.
