PRINTING JOBS
Printing samples
You can obtain sample prints of the following:
• Forms, logos, graphic images, or fonts for reference when
creating jobs. Programmers at your site may ask you to
sample these files.
Programmers may request using the HARDCOPY command
to sample non-color graphic image files because it provides
more detailed information about the file. For more
information on the HARDCOPY command, refer to the Xerox
4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS Command Reference.
• The current job while the job is running. You can use sample
prints to check print quality and form alignment before
printing the entire job.
• The test alignment pattern to check print quality and form
alignment when no job is pending.
To sample a form, logo, graphic image, or font file, or to sample
pages from a job that is temporarily suspended, enter the sample
command:
SAMPLE [{filename}[,S|D][,copies]
filename
The name of the file to sample, including the file extension.
Example: SAMPLE SAMPLE.FRM,D,2,INKS=‘BLUE’
[S|D]
S prints the sample pages in simplex mode; D prints the
sample pages in duplex mode.
[copies]
The number of copies of the sample pages to print.
Follow these steps to sample pages from the current job while
the job is running:
1. Verify that the job is more than three pages long.
If the job is less than three pages, the system cannot deliver
sample pages.
2. Do one of the following: press on the
keyboard, press the Sample button on the printer control
console, or enter the SAMPLE command with no parameters.
The system delivers sample pages to the sample tray. When
you sample pages from a job in progress, the system reprints
the sampled pages and delivers them to the current output
tray to maintain the integrity of the output.
