Using LCDS Print Description Language

Here is a sample STOCKSET command:

Specifying output

requirements

There are many specifications you can select to define the
manner and look of your printed application. You can also have
messages displayed to operators to advise them of special
circumstances. This is done with the MESSAGE command:

NOTE: The MESSAGE OTEXT command shown above is one
example, and is not necessarily the recommended method for
switching media. (Refer to the OUTPUT STOCKS and OUTPUT
FEED command descriptions in the “Specifying print format
parameters” chapter, for further information.)

Similarly, the ROUTE command sends printed information
preceding the report to operators. Most output specifications are
selected from parameters of the OUTPUT command. As with
other commands, these can be specified at any command level,
but are most often specified at the job level because of the many
variations possible.
