Printing color jobs

INTRODUCTION

If your 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS runs software version V3.8 or

XDDI (monochrome version of a highlight color software), the print jobs you create with color commands print in black and shades of gray. Remember the following when printing color jobs on your LPS:

• You must recompile forms that use color commands on your highlight color printer.

• You must print the job you created with color commands to verify that the colors meet your requirements. Applications build color sets differently, resulting in color variation on the

LPS. If the print job does not meet your color specifications, adjust your color command selection and retry the print job.

• If your color print job calls for a solid color to print on a black background, the LPS could print the image as solid black.

XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS COMMAND REFERENCE xi

System commands

This section describes the system commands available for the

Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 Laser Printing Systems (LPS). System commands control the following functions:

• Loading the operating system

• Switching between online and offline processing modes

• Initiating jobs

• Building forms

• Modifying source files

• Requesting sample prints of data, forms, fonts, and logos

• Obtaining accounting summaries and other system output.

While print jobs are running, messages display concerning the status of the jobs and the occurrence of unexpected conditions, if any.

Entering commands

You can enter all system commands and options from the keyboard. Function keys, buttons, and the screen display may simplify some operations.

The system accepts commands whenever the following prompt displays:

READY FOR COMMANDS

Follow these steps to enter a command:

1. Enter the command in the format specified.

2. Press <ENTER>.

The <ENTER> and the <RETURN> references are interchangeable.

The command syntax is made up of two elements: the keyword and the parameters. All commands begin with a keyword, for example, SAMPLE (some commands have more than one keyword, for example, SUBSTITUTE INK). You may abbreviate the keyword using three or more characters, for example, SAM,

SAMP or SAMPL for the SAMPLE command, or SUB INK, SUBS

INK, etc., for the SUBSTITUTE INK command.

Parameters follow the keyword. Parameters are either required or optional. Follow these guidelines when entering parameters:

• Separate parameters by commas.

• Do not use spaces around the commas.

• Enter the parameters in the order specified.

• If you want to omit an optional parameter, you must enter a comma in its place in the command string.

XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS COMMAND REFERENCE 1-1

SYSTEM COMMANDS

Command summary

If you encounter an error message after entering a command, verify the syntax or refer to the Xerox 4850/4890 Highlight Color

LPS Message Guide.

Table 1-1 provides a summary of the system commands. It includes printer status requirements and the lowest logon level

(by system default) from which a command is functional.

An asterisk after the command means that it is not functional when the Host Interface Processor (HIP) is running.

NR in the “Logon level” column means you cannot restrict the command.

SYSTEM COMMANDS

Commands

ABORT

The following system commands are available for the Xerox

4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS.

Syntax

Parameter options

Considerations

Removes jobs from the system, aborts reports, or discontinues certain system processing: input, output, or both.

Ensure correct job status tracking for subsequent jobs by issuing the RESET command after aborting a job being printed

(processed by output).

The system handles job aborts in the following way:

• Job being received and queued for report preparation is stopped after the next data read and is removed from the queue, but data written to disk from previously processed jobs is printed.

• Offline job in the print queue is deleted. An online job in the print queue has been partially prepared for printing, and every page prepared for printing is printed.

• Job being printed is truncated, but remaining jobs in the queue are printed.

• Job is not deleted if it has one report in the input queue and other reports in the output queue: only the report in the input queue is deleted when the next print job starts.

ABORT job-id or ABORT value job-id

Aborts processing of the job specified by the job identification that is assigned to the job by the system.

value

I

Aborts input print processing.

O

Aborts the report currently being printed. Data processed by output is deleted; data processed only by input is not affected. When output processing resumes, it begins with the next complete report.

If you abort a tape or cartridge job, the system does not rewind the tape or cartridge. You must enter the REWIND command before entering the next START command, since a label error can occur if the tape is not at the expected position.

When input processing resumes, it begins with the next complete report.

ABORT stops other types of processes when no print processes are running. If you do not enter a parameter, this command aborts any currently active nonprint task, except the File

Conversion Utility (FCU).

To abort SAMPLE printing of files specified by a mask, enter

ABORT job-id to abort the job completely.


Examples

Syntax


SYSTEM COMMANDS

If two jobs have been started, one immediately after the other, and you want to stop the first while it is being prepared for printing, enter ABORT I rather than ABORT job-id. Then enter

ABO job-id after the message

OS1020 Job JID has completed input phase

is displayed for the first job. Or you can enter ABO

I , and allow output processing to finish processing what it received of the first job before input processing aborted.

Processing of the second job continues as expected.

If you enter ABO job-id while the first job is being processed by input, the second job is lost and a missing job number is noticeable after you start a third job. If the first two jobs are

Xerox Network Systems (XNS) jobs, the Host Interface Processor

(HIP) job queue shows the first as aborted and the second as queued, but the queued job cannot be accessed. To process it, enter HIP RESET and then resubmit the job.

Note: ABORT ENTRY is still a valid, supported command.

ABORT 5

0S0900 JOB 5 ABORTED

ABORT

OSO950 TASK ABORTED

The system accounting file is updated for the aborted job. User accounting pages print if output has been initiated for the job.

They are delivered for each report that input has read. If output has not been initiated, an accounting page is not delivered.

ACCOUNT

Creates and updates the list of user names for which accounting information is maintained, along with the PDL ACCOUNT statement. Refer to your Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS Print

SYSTEM COMMANDS

Default

Considerations

WRITE

Copies the user and system activity data printed by the

REPORT command to an unlabeled tape. The 80-byte, unblocked record file starts at BOT and is terminated by two EOFs.

data format

EBCDIC

Specifies the data format as EBCDIC.

ASCII

Specifies the data format as ASCII.

density

1600

Specifies the tape recording density as 1600 in bits per inch (bpi).

6250

Specifies the tape recording density as 6250 in bits per inch (bpi).

CLEAR

Erases the accounting data after copying it to tape.

If not specified, the defaults are EBCDIC and 1600 bpi.

A department name cannot be deleted if data associated with the department exists in the SFS file.

ACCOUNT data can only be copied to an unlabeled tape.

Tape format of data written by ACCOUNT

The system usage accounting data copied to unlabeled tape consists of 80-byte records. Each record is identified in its first two bytes by a value indicating the information contained in that record. These two-byte identifiers are 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, and

18. Records with identifier 14 are written to tape but do not contain currently useful information. The first four records are record types 10, 11, 12, and 13, which have the format structure shown in tables 1-2 through 1-5.

COMPRESS

Identifies corrupted files and compresses files and directories. It is more efficient to identify corrupted files with the verification option of COMPRESS, delete the corrupted files, and then compress files.

A file may be corrupted when the sectors allocated to it have been allocated to another file or are also “bad block” areas. The

V option of COMPRESS generates the CPR000.TMP file to identify the first multiallocated sectors found.

If the multiallocated sectors are associated with bad block areas and a file, delete the file. If the sectors are associated with two files, use SAMPLE to print them to determine which file has been corrupted.

During the verification process to ensure that no sectors have been allocated to multiple files or to a file and a “bad block” area, the message

VERIFYING SYSTEM FILES

displays.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

Syntax COMPRESS,disk-id,disk-id,...,V

Parameter options disk-id

Default

Considerations

V

Verifies the existence of unusable areas on the specified disk without compressing files.

The default is disk DP0.

COMPRESS displays the entered command syntax while it is running.

COMPRESS without the V option copies each file into one contiguous area, leaving one large free area. The following message is displayed during processing:

COMPRESSING FILES **CRITICAL OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS. DO

NOT DISTURB** **DISK WILL BE UNUSABLE IF PROCESS

INTERRUPTED**

After files in a directory are compressed, the directory is compressed, if possible. During this process phase the system displays the

COMPRESSING DIRECTORY SECTORS

message.

The system must be idle and the Host Interface Processor (HIP) must be unloaded; HIP EXIT or HIP UNLOAD is required.

Do not abort COMPRESS.

If the system was not rebooted after turning Data Capture on after the last system generation, the system may hang during

COMPRESS and require a reboot. Prevent this situation by rebooting the system immediately after turning Data Capture on, or by turning Data Capture off before running COMPRESS and turning Data Capture back on when COMPRESS has completed.

COPY

Copies files from:

• System disk to system disk, floppy disk, cartridge, or tape

• Floppy disk, cartridge, or tape to system disk.

The Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS may use a 9-track magnetic tape or 18-track cartridge.

When using the input-file-id and output-file-id to rename a labeled file, only the RAD50 portion of the tape label changes; the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) portion of the label does not change.

The file-id is recorded in ASCII in the 128-byte LPS label. The 6character ASCII file name begins in byte position 18. The 3character ASCII file type begins in byte position 27.

Although Operating System Software (OSS) supports multiple volume writes, the editor and Interpress Font Utility (IFU) tasks do not support them. Do not issue a multiple volume write from

EDI or from IFU. It may fail and corrupt the volume by jeopardizing the volume file integrity, and the Interpress file and font integrity. Avoid this problem by writing files to a single volume and selectively including files or font families.

COPY — disk to disk

Copies a disk file on the system disk.

COPY disk-id input-file-id disk-id output-file-id disk-id

Specifies the disk (DP0:, DP1:, DP2:, or DP3:) which contains the file to be copied (input), and the disk that the file is copied to (output).

file-id

Specifies the input or output file identified by file-name.file-

type. If the file type is omitted, the file type defaults to the file type of the input file. (Masking cannot be used.)

The output file name must be different from the input file name.

If the output file name is the name of an existing file, then the contents of the existing file are replaced by the contents of the input file.

n

Groups disk blocks into one tape block. n can have a value of 1 to 16, and the size of the tape block, in bytes, resides in the tape label. The default blocking factor is 1, and the label indicates the blocking factor.

input or output file-id

Specifies the name of an input disk file and the name to be given the output tape file, in the form file-name.file-type.

(Masking cannot be used.) If no output file-id is specified, the disk file-name is used for the tape file. (Masking can be used.) file file-id

TAPE is the default medium.

Do not use COPY, TAPE, WRITE, LABEL, or ALL to copy user file versions between printers running different operating system software. This may result in incompatible user file types on the system disk.

When using the input-file-id and output-file-id to rename a labeled file, only the RAD50 portion of the tape label changes; the ASCII portion of the label does not change.

COPY — disk to unlabeled tape or cartridge

Copies source files such as .FSL or .JSL files to tape. Tape initialization (TAPE VOLINIT) is not necessary for an unlabeled tape. The tape write always starts at the current tape position and is terminated by writing two end of files (EOFs), backspacing over one of them when another file is written. This results in one EOF between each file, with a double EOF at the end of all the files.

Specifies that the file must be written to the unlabeled tape or cartridge assigned to the TAPE or CAR keyword using the SUB

DEV command.

When you copy files to an unlabeled tape, the system does not check the tape position. The tape write always starts at the current tape position and is terminated by writing two EOFs, backspacing over one of them when another file is written. This results in one EOF between each file, with a double EOF at the end of all the files.

This command has an automatic drain feature that initiates the drain process after 5 minutes of inactivity on the online channel.

To change the time interval, use the @DRAIN command.

DRAIN

None.

If the print file has 5 or fewer pages, the pages may not print.

When entering this command, you may receive a message indicating that there are no pages waiting to be drained. This indicates that all the data received by the system has been formatted for output. Any pages formatted previous to the

DRAIN command are printed. This message may appear without entering the command if the autodrain feature is enabled.

There are situations where you may look at the system and see that there are pages in the output queue, but the system indicates that there are no pages waiting to be drained. The

DRAIN processing logic is performed from the input point of view. The job has completed the input phase, but the output queue may not yet have registered that there is data still available. AUTODRAIN will “wake up” and drain the system after a specific interval.

@DRAIN is the filename for a command file. Use this command file to change the timeout interval for the Automatic Drain feature for online printing. If you need to change the timeout interval, contact your site representative.

Once the command file is started, you are prompted for the new time, in minutes (between 1 and 255). After you have entered the new time, the system will apply the time and redisplay the

READY FOR COMMANDS message.

DSR

1-26

Syntax

Backs up the entire system onto tape or cartridge after a sysgen or a software update. The Disk Save and Restore (DSR) utility operates on the entire system in two steps: it creates a tape backup of all system files, and it restores those files to disk, erasing all previous disk contents.

Use the DSR tape or cartridge you create to boot the system (BT,

BC, or BX) after a system crash or after the loss of system files to restore the entire system. Although you can use DSR to correct disk fragmentation because the DSR restore copies all files to a contiguous area on the restored system disk, it is more efficient to use COMPRESS instead.

The disk or disks whose files are copied to tape or cartridge are the source disks. The disk or disks to which the files are restored are the object disks.

Parameters

SYSTEM COMMANDS medium

CARTRIDGE

Specifies the device assigned to the CAR keyword using the SUB DEV command.

TAPE

Specifies the device assigned to the TAPE keyword using the SUB DEV command.

1600

Specifies a tape recording density of 1600 bpi.

disk-id

Indicates the disk (DP0:, DP1:, DP2:, or DP3:) whose contents are written to tape. If a DPn: is omitted, all disks are backed up.

L

Lists file information on the display as the system files are copied to tape. When several disks are backed up, this list can be extensive. No list is the default.


The default is always 6250 bpi, even though the tape has been initialized at 1600 with the TAPE VOLINIT command.

This command is restricted to logon level 2.

You can run DSR only when there are no print jobs being processed.

A sysgen is required following a DSR restore if the configuration of the machine has changed since the save was performed or if the object system is different than the source system.

Frequently, a mini-sysgen is sufficient to correct the configuration, but a sysgen ensures that all the correct files are loaded on the system for the new configuration.

All the disk files are saved or all the tape or cartridge files are restored; DSR does not process individual files.

DSR preserves the machine-specific file (MCHID$.SYS) to prevent billing problems when you move files between systems.

If HIP is not active and jobs are pending in the queue, DSR runs, but it loses the HIP queue because HIP uses addresses that are unavailable during compression.

EDIT

Creates a source file, accesses a source file, or executes a file.

When you invoke the editor, it prompts you by displaying

EDIT

If no parameter is entered, the profile labels in FCG.LIB are displayed.

Each of the parameter values coded in the FCG.LIB file must be within the range 0 to 255, inclusive.

FCHECK

Displays or prints file fragmentation data on a disk. It also lists unusable sectors identified by the sector check process during a full system generation. When bad sectors and fragmented files accumulate, you should purge and then compress the disk.

FCHECK also displays the MBAIS data indicating the areas that you should not use. If these are unused areas of the disk,

FCHECK displays “---” in the LBN column.

FCHECK /PR disk-id

/PR

Prints the information.

disk-id

Specifies the individual disk drive (DP0:, DP1:, DP2:, or DP3:).

The logon level is restricted to level 2.

DP0: is the default.

FCU

Converts forms, logos, and images (.FRM, .LGO, and .IMG) that are not in a color format to color format for monochrome printers.

When FCU converts files, the ink catalog and palette default to

XEROX.SIMPLE.

FCU file-id.file-type,’ink-name’,NOSUBSTITUTION file-id

Specifies the file to be converted.

file-type

Specifies the file type of the file to be converted. Must be

.FRM, .LGO, or .IMG.

’ink-name’

Specifies the defined ink to be used to print the form, logo, or image. Must be specified within single quotes. May consist of the ink catalog name, palette name, and ink name.

The default ink catalog and palette are XEROX.SIMPLE.

NOSUBSTITUTION

Specifies that FSL, JSL, DJDE, and SAMPLE ink overrides are ignored. The file can be printed only with the specified defined ink as rendered in a monochrome printer.

You cannot abort FCU. FCU terminates only when it finishes converting the specified files. If you need to keep image and logo files in the original no-color format for printing them on other Xerox LPS printers, back them up before converting them to color format.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

FCU printing results

FCU is unable to convert forms created under some older versions (pre-V10, specifically) of the LPS operating system software. If FCU returns an error message, you may need to recompile the form prior to converting it.

XEROX.SIMPLE is required for .IMG files and recommended for

.LGO and .FRM files.

You can use the asterisk wildcard character (*) only in the file-id

and only without other characters. For example, FCU

KOALA*.IMG,'RED’ is invalid, causing the system to display the message

FC6050 TASK ABORTED, FILE NOT FOUND

. The wildcard indicates that all files of the specified file-type are converted to color format using the specified ink-name. You cannot abort the wildcard option using the ABORT command.

XDDI—An FCU should be performed on all logo and image files when XDDI is installed. All FSLs and JSLs should be recompiled after the FCU is performed.

Converting all the form files, image files, or logo files can be time consuming if many files are converted.

The form or logo does not print in the defined ink. It prints in monochrome using the color that is used in the highest percentage to create the defined ink.

The image or logo files in a job print in their own internally defined color (rather than in the form color), unless the forms source library (FSL), jobs source library (JSL), or dynamic job descriptor entry (DJDE) statement invoking the image or logo file includes an ink override, and the defined inks are specified in the

.IMG or .LGO file without the NOSUBSTITUTION parameter.

The SAMPLE command with the INK parameter does not print an

.FRM or .LGO file in the specified ink unless the file is already in color format. (The SAMPLE command with the INK parameter always prints an .IMG file in color, regardless of whether it is in color format.)

If the .FSL file codes ink overrides for the .LGO or .IMG files it calls, then the SAMPLE command also overrides the internally specified inks for the logos and images in the form, provided that the defined inks are specified without the

NOSUBSTITUTION parameter.

Conversely, if the .FSL file does not code ink overrides for the

.LGO or .IMG files it calls, then the SAMPLE command does not override the internally specified inks for the logos and images in the form.

FEED

Selects the input paper trays or makes the selection automatic.

The command options specify how the four input paper trays will feed stock to the job. FEED controls the primary source of paper.

If you do not select parameters, this command has no effect unless the current mode is FEED MAIN or FEED AUX. If the current mode is set to one of these, it switches to the other mode (FEED MAIN becomes FEED AUX, and FEED AUX becomes

FEED MAIN).

FEED keyword keyword

MAIN

Assigns control over the source of the paper to the input data. Ensures that all sheets designated with a stock name will be fed from the cluster associated with the page.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

Override sequence

Considerations

AUX

Feeds all the following sheets from the AUX cluster. This command overrides any job-specified feed source.

AUTO

The AUTO cluster is predefined to be all trays physically present in the printer. You can redefine AUTO as any tray on the printer.

tray-number

Feeds all the following sheets from the specified tray, regardless of the stock specifications in the FEED=

JDL/DJDE options. This command overrides any jobspecified feed source.

cluster-name

Feeds all the sheets from the specified cluster, regardless of the stock specifications in the FEED= JDL/DJDE options. This command overrides any job-specified feed source.

FEED commands override each other as shown below:

FEED MAIN

Gives the application control and feeds from the MAIN cluster unless the application overrides this command. The

FEED= option of the OUTPUT statement, the FEED= DJDE, covers, and RAUX pages feed from the clusters specified by the application. This is the normal operating mode.

FEED 1

Overrides all application FEED instructions.

FEED 1

All sheets feed from tray 1.

FEED AUX

Overrides all application FEED instructions. All sheets feed from the trays in the AUX cluster. (If the AUX cluster definition is not modified, this command is equivalent to

FEED 2.)

FEED 2

Overrides all application FEED instructions. All sheets feed from tray 2.

FEED n

Overrides all application FEED instructions. (This is the generic for FEED 1 and FEED 2.)

FEED cl-name

Overrides all the application FEED instructions except the pages to be fed from the AUX cluster. These pages are fed from the AUX cluster specified by the application.

FEED AUTO

Same as FEED cl-name. AUTO is a predefined cluster.

The MAIN cluster is predefined as tray 1 and the AUX cluster is predefined as tray 2. Either or both of these clusters may be redefined.

FEED 1 and FEED MAIN are not the same, even if the MAIN cluster consists of only tray 1. FEED 2 and FEED AUX are synonymous if the AUX cluster consists of only tray 2.

Syntax


SYSTEM COMMANDS

Under certain circumstances, the automatic switching between two current FEED CLUSTER trays (for example, FEED MAIN, where MAIN=1,2) may not take place. Specifically, if one tray feeds empty and lowers at the same time as the other is being readied to feed, the printer may cycle down and display the following message:

OS2050 ALL APPROPRIATE TRAYS ARE EMPTY

. Load one of the trays to correct this condition.

If your system does not use English, you must rename the MAIN,

AUX, and AUTO clusters.

The cluster options now available change the execution of the local language commands for FEED MAIN, FEED AUX, and FEED

AUTO.

FEED AUX or FEED cluster-name affects paper feeding in jobs.

Only the English command FEED MAIN is overridden by the job

.JSL file or DJDE records.

You may set up clusters using the local language keywords for

MAIN, AUX, and AUTO so that the system processes print jobs with the same results as produced by OSS version 2 and earlier versions.

Generates multiple data set test cases through a third party finishing device that is connected to the printer.

FEX profile-label profile-label

Specifies the entry in the FEX.LIB file to be recorded in the printer NVM.


Each of the PARM values coded in the FEX.LIB file must be within the range 0 to 255, inclusive.

Never enter the RESET command while FEX is executing.

Otherwise, the test case profile on the printer NVM is not replaced by the profile of your device.

FEX

Generates a file consisting of a list of all disk files with the specified file type. You can use this file as a prototype command file because it contains one record for each file of the specified file type.

FID disk-id file-id file-type disk-id


file-id

Names the file to be created. If both the file name and file type are specified, the created file contains only the name of the specified file.

file-type

Specifies the file directory.

FID


SYSTEM COMMANDS

FILE

Default

Each record of the command file consists of a semicolon, a file name, a file type, and an asterisk (for example, ;GBAR.FSL*). You can edit these records to produce a command file which manipulates a subset of a file type (for example, deleting a subset of the current fonts in the FNT directory).

LG6, MSC, PDE, TMP, TST, LIB, STK, and 1M6.


Backing up files may exceed the storage capacity of a single floppy disk.

FONTS

Optimizes the reallocation of task memory by specifying the maximum number of fonts that the system attempts to keep resident in memory during a print job. This value can have a significant impact on system performance for some jobs. The

FONTS value remains in effect until you reissue the command or regenerate a new operating system.

FONTS n n

Number between 1 and 128, inclusive, which sets the maximum number of active fonts per print job. Must include all fonts, logos, and inks used on the forms and variable data.

The default is 32.

Specify more fonts than will be used on a single page to allow font changes on a page-to-page basis without throughput degradation if all the fonts can be loaded into memory.

A print job may actually use more than the specified number of fonts as long as no more than this number of fonts is called for on a single page.

If the current FONTS value is exceeded while processing a page, the system aborts that job and displays the following message:

OS2885 MAX NUMBER OF FONTS EXCEEDED. ENTER NEW VALUE.

RESTART JOB

.

The value currently in effect displays if no parameter is given.

FORMS

Optimizes the allocation of task memory by specifying the maximum number of forms that the system attempts to keep resident in memory during a print job. This value can have a significant impact on system performance for some jobs. The

FORMS value remains in effect until you reissue the command or a new operating system is generated.

FORMS n n

Sets the maximum number of active forms per print job.

Must be a number between 1 and 64, inclusive.

The default is 12.

Specify more forms than will be used on a single page to allow form changes on a page-to-page basis without throughput degradation if all the forms can be loaded into memory.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

GRAPHIC

Considerations

If a form uses many inks, decrease the number of specified

FORMS to increase the memory available for processing.


Syntax


Considerations

Optimizes the allocation of task memory by specifying the maximum number of graphics that the system attempts to keep resident in memory during a print job. This value can have a significant impact on system performance for some jobs. The

GRAPHIC value remains in effect until you reissue the command or a new operating system is generated.

GRAPHIC n n

Specifies the maximum number of active graphics per print job. Must be an integer between 32 and 128.

No single page printed can invoke more than 32 graphics. You must include all graphics used on a form for this page if a form is used.

A print job can use more than the specified number of graphics as long as no more than 32 are called for on a single page.


HARDCOPY

Syntax


This command is used to sample graphic image files.

This command differs from SAMPLE only in the content and format of the descriptor page. The hardcopy descriptor page reports all the information in a graphic file header block. The information on a sample descriptor page is a subset of the information on a hardcopy descriptor page. Descriptor pages are numbered evenly, and any errors entered on the Interpress exception page are referenced to the page number on the descriptor page.

HARDCOPY file-

name.IMG,D,copies,vpos[in/cm/dots],n[/d],hpos[in/cm/dots],orien tation file-name

Identifies the graphic to hard copy. If you omit the file-

name, all image files are hard copy.

If you specify any other file type, the command is executed as if it were a SAMPLE command with a corresponding descriptor page, and the graphic is positioned by using default rather than specified positioning parameters.

D

Prints the graphic statistical information (the descriptive data page) on the back of the sheet and the graphic image on the front. The default is simplex.

copies

Specifies the number of copies. The default is one copy.


Default

Syntax

SYSTEM COMMANDS vpos

Specifies the vertical position of the top edge of the graphic, relative to the physical page origin in dots, centimeters (cm), or inches (in), specified as a decimal number with up to three digits to the right of the decimal point. If you do not specify units, inches are assumed. The default is two-thirds up the page and centered in the given orientation.

hpos

Specifies the horizontal position of the left edge of the graphic relative to the physical page origin. The form of this specification (cm, in, dots) is the same as for vpos. The default is two-thirds up the page and centered in the given orientation.

orientation

L or P

Specifies a reference orientation (landscape or portrait) for positioning the graphic. The default orientation may be specified in the image file image header.

n[/d]

Specifies the reference scale factor. Each parameter, n and d, must be an integer between 1 and 8 inclusive, resulting in a reference scale factor between 1/8 and 8 inclusive. The reference allowing a reference scale factor is multiplied with that specified at the time the graphic was digitized, and the product is rounded to the nearest integer in the range 1 to 8. That integer becomes the effective scale factor with which the graphic is imaged. If the reference scale factor specified in the HARDCOPY command is too large (so that the graphic exceeds the page size), the specified reference scale factor is flagged with an asterisk on the descriptor page and a reference scale factor of 1 is used. Not supported for RES files.

If you do not specify an orientation, the default is P (portrait).

Hardcopy print is not allowed if the image is protected by a security command in the ABNORMAL statement (such as

ABNORMAL SECURITY=YES).

Do not use HARDCOPY *.IMG.

HIP

Starts the HIP task with the default specified host as defined in

HIP.LIB. This is the abbreviated way of entering HIP ONLINE and

HIP START.

When entering HIP commands, multiple parameter options in a command string must be separated by semicolons. This does not apply to the keywords in a command. For example, in the

HIP OFFLINE command, both words are keywords, so they are separated by a space.

HIP ABORT

Removes all jobs or the specified jobs from the host interface processor (HIP) internal queue.

HIP ABORT SEND keyword


SYSTEM COMMANDS


Considerations

SEND

Aborts a HIP-to-host file transmission.

keyword

ALL

Aborts all host-to-HIP file transmissions.

jid

Specifies the name of the file to abort.

You cannot abort queued and active jobs. You can only abort jobs being received or pending.

If listed jid is not eligible, it will be listed in an error message.

HIP CHANGE

Syntax


Considerations

Stores an HIP-spooled data file as a standard printer file on disk to print later. A successful CHANGE will show a status of

STORED in the HIP JOBS display, and the LPS will not print the job using HIP.

HIP CHANGE jid TO file-name.file-type jid

Specifies the name of the file to store on the disk.

file-name

Renames the file you are storing on the disk.

file-type

Specifies one of the following: CMD, CME, FNT, FN6, FRM,

FR6, FSL, ICT, IDR, ISL, IMG, IM6, JDL, JSL, LGO, LG6, MSC,

PDE, TMP, XCS, SYS, TSK, LOG, IPM, FIS, IPF, TPF, DAT, OSD,

SAF, LIB, STK, PCH, or TST.

You can process only one HIP CHANGE command at a time.

The file-type XCS must be coded in the ACCEPT command in the

HIP.LIB file to be a valid file-type. Only file-types listed in the

ACCEPT command defined in HIP.LIB can be made standard disk files.

If you use a file-name, you must specify the complete syntax, with or without the file-type.

The input HIP data file must be received completely and in the

PENDING state, with HIP in the STOP state.

The output file name must be unique on the disk.

Before issuing HIP CHANGE, you must issue HIP STOP.

Only a file in PENDING state may be stored for printing later.

HIP DIAG

Runs three HIP interface tests with the 871 communication module (871-CM). These tests run automatically in sequence.

The first test verifies the functionality of the ONLINE,

ATTENTION, and HOSTCLR control lines. Any problem is reported by a system message. If a problem exists, tests 2 and 3 are not executed.

Default

Considerations

Syntax

Syntax


SYSTEM COMMANDS

The second test checks control and data lines to verify that the

871-CM can send commands to the system and receive status data from the system. If a control line problem exists, this test is not executed. If a data line problem exists, the third test is executed.

The third test verifies whether the eight parallel data lines are functioning. Any reported problem provides a message and terminates testing. If no problems are found, testing repeats the specified number of times or is terminated by an HIP command.

HIP DIAG value value n

Specifies how many iterations the test executes.

LOOP

Specifies an infinite number of test iterations.

The default is 1.

HIP must be offline. Print processing must be stopped.

The 871-CM must be in diagnostic mode when you enter the

HIP DIAG command.

HIP END or HIP EXIT

Terminates HIP processing properly. You can use HIP EXIT and

HIP END interchangeably. It executes a HIP STOP followed by

OFFLINE. When the current files being received or transmitted and printed (if any) are completed, the internal job queue is saved on the system disk for later restart.

HIP END or HIP EXIT

HIP HOST

Selects an HIP communication mode when your LPS configuration has more than one host. On systems with only one host, HIP automatically selects the host each time HIP is loaded if the HOST default in HIP.LIB is the configured host.

HIP HOST mode mode

871

Enables communication between a host and the LPS in an

SNA/SDLC or BSC environment.

XNS

Enables communication between devices (such as workstations and graphic stations) on a shared or unshared, but accessible, network and the LPS. Ethernet is the physical connection for the network. Interpress is the page description language used to package files for transmission over the network to the LPS.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

HIP JOBS

HIP LOG

Considerations

DMR

Receives input directly from a VAX/VMS system. This permits data transmission to the LPS in a digital data communication message protocol (DDCMP) environment. All UNIBUS-, VAX-B1-, or Q-BUS-based digital processors are supported.

XPF

Enables communication between a host and the LPS in an

IBM MVS/XA environment.

HIP must be offline and idle to switch from one host to another.

You can run online jobs from an IBM 3211 channel when the

871-CM or XNS host has been selected, but not if the XPAF host has been selected.

If the host you specify does not exist on the system, this command is ignored.

If the system is not offline or idle, the command is rejected and one or more of the following messages displays:

HP1265 ONLINE INTERFACE ALREADY IN USE.

HP2020 SELECTED HOST NOT PRESENT ON SYSTEM.

HP2400 HIP INTERFACE MUST BE OFFLINE. ENTER ‘HIP

HP7100 CANNOT CHANGE HOSTS WHILE JOBS ARE PENDING OR

ACTIVE.

This command is identical to the HIP SHOW JOBS command.

You can use HIP JOBS and HIP SHOW JOBS interchangeably to check the status of jobs in the queue.

HIP OFFLINE

Enables the system to go offline from a host and stop accepting jobs. The system completes the transmission of any jobs that are in the process of being sent before executing this command.

HIP OFFLINE IMMEDIATE

IMMEDIATE

Enables the system to go offline without waiting for the end of transmission from the host. This option should be used only when the host has crashed during the transmission of a job and no other means can be used to reestablish or terminate communications.

This option is valid only when online to an XPAF or XPSM host.

HIP ONLINE

Use this command to start the HIP task with the default specified host as defined in HIP.LIB. During HIP processing, the ONLINE command is not available. Enter HIP alone to invoke both the

HIP ONLINE and the HIP START commands.

HIP ONLINE [ALL]

ALL

Specifies that both print and nonprint files are accepted.


HIP RESET

Clears the HIP queue.

HIP RESET

The system does not execute the command unless the HIP queue has no jobs in the PENDING, QUEUED, ACTIVE,

OQUEUED, or PRINTING states. If you enter the command with jobs in the queue in any of these states, the system displays a message indicating that the queue cannot be cleared.

In the normal mode, the system accepts this command only when HIP is offline.

HIP SEND

Sends files to the host through the host interface.

HIP SEND filename.type filename.type

Specifies the name and extension of the file to send. You may use the masking specification (* or ?) to send multiple files of a specific type.

This information is defined in the HIP.LIB configuration file.

HIP SHOW ECHOSERVERS


HIP SHOW HOSTS

The ability to send files to the host depends on the host:

• 871-CM does not support this capability.

• You may initiate file transfers to a DMR host either at the host or at the LPS. Both the host and the LPS must be online and in an idle state (no files being transferred).

• You must initiate file transfers to an XNS, XPAF, or XPSM host from the host.

Displays a message on the system controller display that lists the available hosts. The message also indicates the currently selected host using an arrow, as shown in the following example:

HP 1340 Known and current HOSTs are:

871 DMR XNS XPF XPS NONE <--

The system displays NONE only if there are multiple hosts available and no host has been selected, or if a system error has occurred, causing the system to deselect all hosts.

HIP SHOW HOSTS Syntax

HIP SHOW JOBS or HIP JOBS

Displays the current state of the HIP task and a selected list of jobs in the internal queues. You can use HIP JOBS and HIP

SHOW JOBS interchangeably. The operator control console has about 20 lines available for displaying job status information on the screen. There are three formats for display information: page format, complete format, and summary format, as described in table 1-12.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

Table 1-12.

Display information

Syntax


Format Description

Page display The page display format displays up to 6 pages. Each page contains up to 20 jobs ordered from the oldest completed job to the newest job received. PAGE 1 contains jobs 1 through 20; PAGE 2 contains jobs 21 through 40, and so forth.

If there are fewer than 20 jobs in the HIP queue, the entire queue displays. If there are fewer than 20 jobs in the page requested, jobs display from the previous page for a full screen of 20 jobs. If there are fewer than 19 jobs after the completed job, additional completed jobs appear in the display.

Complete display

The complete display format displays up to

20 lines of jobs status information and a message to indicate the end of the display.

If there are fewer than 20 jobs in the selected state, all of them display. If there are more than 20 jobs in the selected state, use the HIP SHOW JOBS CONTINUE command to continue the display.

Summary display The summary display format displays up to

20 lines of job status information and a message to indicate the end of the display.

If there are fewer than 20 jobs to display, a normal job queue display is given. If there are more than 20 jobs in the queues, the number of additional jobs is specified.

HIP SHOW JOBS type or HIP JOBS type type

Syntax

Description

Specifies one of the possible hosts (871, XNS, DEC, or XPF).

Specifies the status of the host interface (OFFLINE, ONLINE,

PEND, READY, RECEIVING, SENDING, or SUSPENDED).

Specifies the run mode of the job (STARTED, STOPPED, or

DUMP).

Specifies the acceptable file types (ALL JOBS or PRINT JOBS).

Specifies the internal job identification number (JID) for HIP.

Indicates the host name on the file label. An asterisk (*) following this name indicates that the job is an 871 job received from the punch port. Refer to the Xerox 871 Communication

Module System Guide for a description of the punch port.

Specifies the job number (JN) assigned by OCS when the job is submitted for printing. It is 0000 for non-print and pending jobs.

Specifies the time a job was received and when its status was last changed.

A maximum of five lines list jobs in the COMPLETED state, eight lines list jobs in the ACTIVE state, and seven lines list the jobs in

PENDING state.

Depending on the state of the HIP XNS services and job queue,

HIP may defer the processing of OFFLINE and END commands.

If HIP is communicating with a networked workstation when HIP

OFFLINE is entered, processing is deferred until the workstation session terminates, either through initiation by the workstation or through timeout. If deferred, HIP displays the message

HP1200

OFFLINE PENDING END OF CURRENT ACTIVE XNS SESSION

. When the session concludes and the Ethernet is brought offline, HIP displays the message

HP1230 HOST OFFLINE

.

The HIP END command effects an automatic STOP and OFFLINE prior to the task exit. STOP is honored immediately; OFFLINE may be deferred, as described above. Ending of HIP is deferred until the OFFLINE command is processed and, if any jobs are active on the HIP print queue, the END command is further deferred until all active jobs are completed.

HIP honors an END command with jobs on the receive queue in a pending state. When HIP is reloaded, those pending jobs remain in the HIP job queue.

HIP SHOW LOG

Considerations

Starts or restarts processing of jobs in the HIP queue. The XPAF host may submit jobs in a pass through mode, where the job passes directly to the LPS processing. Although HIP is not involved in receiving the job, you must start HIP in order for pass through jobs to be processed. If a message appears indicating that a pass through job is pending, enter the HIP START command. While the pass through job is processing, HIP is in a suspended state. After the pass through job has finished, HIP returns to the start state.

HIP START DUMP job-id,...

DUMP

If you specify this parameter, the system processes the next job in the queue (or the job specified in the command string if you have specified one) using the START command parameters defined in the DUMPJOB= field of the HIP.LIB

file. Only one job is submitted (either the first job in the queue or the first job id specified in the command string).

After the specified job is processed, HIP issues a STOP command.

job-id

Use this parameter to start only specified jobs within the HIP queue. After HIP has submitted the last job in the job-id list,

HIP issues a STOP command.


When you enter the HIP START command with no parameters,

HIP submits all jobs in the queue in the order received (or the order set in any previous HIP START commands).

HIP STOP

Syntax

Abbreviates the HIP SHOW JOBS CONTINUE command which continues the HIP job status display.

HIP SJC

Syntax

Stops submitting HIP jobs to print processing. Jobs already being prepared for printing or being printed complete processing.

If the operator enters the OSS RESET command, the system automatically executes HIP STOP and also aborts all HIP jobs

HIP STOP


Considerations

Syntax

SYSTEM COMMANDS

If the LPS is online, HIP continues to receive jobs until the storage space for the LPS HIP queue is filled.

HOSTCOPY

Accepts files transmitted from the host computer and stores them on the LPS disk on online systems. Files in two different formats may be transmitted: user-created card-image files, and

LPS-labeled files (such as font, logo, and patch tapes). Files loaded onto the system using the HOSTCOPY command must be retrieved by the editor MERGE command prior to editing to insert valid sequence numbers.

Certain destination file types are not accepted for either LPSlabeled or card-image files. These are file types OSD, SAF, SYS,

$Y$, and TSK. In addition, card-image format files are restricted to destination file types CMD, FSL, JSL, MSC, PCH, TMP, and

TPF.

HOSTCOPY

Card-image format files. Files may be transmitted to the LPS in

80-character EBCDIC records. A group of records stored as a data file is called a packet. Each packet must be preceded by a control record which specifies the name of the file. This control record has the following format, starting in column 1:

$$$START file-name.file-type where file-name is a 2 to 6 character name and file-type is one of the valid file type designations listed previously. Either a period or a comma is acceptable as the separator between the file name and the file type.

One or more EBCDIC packets may be transmitted at one time.

Each packet should be preceded by the $$$START record. After the last packet, the transmission must be ended by another control record. The format for this record, starting in column 1 is:

$$$END

Each packet transmitted may not exceed 3072 records.

Exceeding this limit truncates the file to 3072 records.

If any of the above errors are encountered, the file is not created on the disk, and you are given the opportunity to continue or abort HOSTCOPY. Any file names greater than six characters are truncated to six characters. If a $$$START record is immediately followed by a $$$END record, the following message is displayed:

FILE SIZE EQUALS ZERO

The file is not created on the disk, and you are given the opportunity to continue or abort HOSTCOPY.

If any problem is found with the $$$START record, one of the messages shown in figure 1-6 is displayed with the $$$START record displayed on the next line.

MISSING "." OR "," IN $$$START RECORD

Font and logo tape file format. Font and logo tapes are LPSlabeled tapes issued by Xerox. They have been structured for use with online and offline systems. The last physical file on these tapes is a concatenation of all previous files on the tape.

This last file is in a format that can be transmitted across the host

I/O channel to the printing system. A host utility must be used to advance the tape to the beginning of the last file. Font and logo files have 128-byte blocks, followed by blocks of multiples of 512 bytes, from 512 bytes to 8192 bytes. The files must be deblocked to 128-byte records before transmission to the LPS.

Some operating systems may require that an FCB and UCSB be transmitted with the job. These are accepted, but they are ignored by HOSTCOPY.

The program (for example, IEBGENER) that transmits files to the

LPS must not add page numbers or reformat the data. In particular, no additional records may be added between the files.


Figure 1-7 is a sample JCL using the IEBGENER host utility to send a concatenated file to the LPS. In the example, 01E is the device address of the printing system. For illustration purposes, the tape to be transmitted contains 246 individual system files.

Appended to these 246 files are a dummy ENDFIL file and a concatenated file containing the preceding 247 files. Thus, the first parameter after the LABEL= is the file number of the file to be transmitted (in this case, file number 248).

IFU

1-58

Invokes the IFU. This allows you to create fonts from a Font

Interchange Standard (FIS) Interpress master suitable for print jobs in an Interpress or data center environment.

You communicate with the IFU using the keyboard or display.

You can key in one or more IFU commands in the command line and then enter IFU to execute them all; or you can invoke IFU first, then enter each IFU command.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

The FIS defines a digital representation for the interchange of fonts and character metrics between you and the LPS. FIS uses

Interpress to describe fonts independently of any particular printing or imaging system.

The LPS supports fonts encoded in FIS on a Xerox-labeled 1600 or 6250 bpi magnetic tape or other delivery media. An FIS master is an Interpress master defined and encoded according to the Font Interchange Standard provided on tape. FIS allows you to generate an entire series of Interpress fonts suitable for reference in an Interpress master, or to generate standard data center fonts.

You can invoke IFU when the LPS is idle and is a co-process with the Interpress decomposer (IPD) for processing FIS Interpress font masters. You have the ability to generate and manage fonts which correspond to the Interpress font names with various point sizes and orientations containing selected characters from an FIS

Interpress font master. IFU provides the following functional features:

• Reads FIS font master from an FIS delivery medium (magnetic tape, etc.) for the creation of LPS font files, or, at your discretion, Xerox LPS font files for the data center environment.

• Performs traditional file management functions on Interpress font files resident on the system, including addition, duplication (from disk to or from tape and disk to or from floppy), deletion, and listing by Interpress font name.s

• Changes the substitution priority for a particular Interpress font.

• Compiles old IPFNTS.JSL source mapping files to new LPS

Interpress linked structures.

• Compresses LPS Interpress mapping to enhance font management performance and delete unreferenced

Interpress font files.

• Prints a sample statistics page of a generated font.

• Compiles font profile by section.

• Produces rendered or composite character bitmaps from an

FIS font master in support of data center applications, which require accented characters and improved performance for

Interpress fonts.

You can invoke IFU in single command mode only. IFU accepts any single command, executes it, and returns to the system prompt:

OS1000 READY FOR COMMANDS.

Then you can enter another single command.

You can specify an Interpress font by its font family or its font name characteristics:

• An Interpress font family name is a three-part name composed of a naming authority, character code, and typeface name.

• An Interpress font name is a six-part name composed of a naming authority, character code, typeface name, point size, orientation, and resolution.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

Syntax

Logon level

Syntax


If you specify only the Interpress font family name, all the font families (such as orientations, point sizes, and resolutions) are processed as if they were wild carded. You can insert a wild card (*) in place of any family name component, except in DEFAULT and SUBSTITUTION commands which require a single Interpress font family name.

Variable information in the IFU command information below is shown in italics, for example, name. The correct syntax for entering an Interpress font is:

'XEROX','XC82-0-0','HELVETICA' or

'XEROX XC82-0-0 HELVETICA 12 P 300’

Font name length will make some IFU commands longer than 78 characters. Enter these commands using the IFU mode. For each long command, enter IFU and press <ENTER>, then enter the IFU command.

IFU COMPRESS

Removes unused space from the mapping tables in IPFNTS.SYS, deletes unreferenced font files, and consolidates fragmented

.IPM files.

IFU COMPRESS


IFU COPY

Copies printer font files and their associated mappings from the

LPS internal disk storage to and from external media. This allows easy backup and transport of Interpress fonts.

CARTRIDGE


keyword

READ

Searches for the Interpress font name matching the specified Interpress font mask. If a match is found, copies the font files and their mappings from the file on the tape or cartridge and replaces or creates the font files in the FNT directory.

WRITE

Copies .FNT font files and the associated Interpress font mappings to the external medium as a single virtual file.

Supports multiple volume tapes and cartridges. When the virtual file being written reaches end of volume, you are prompted for the next volume. Always appends to the end of the logical volume.

SYSTEM COMMANDS

Interpress font name

Specifies the font files to be copied.

READ is the default keyword.

Although OSS supports multiple volume writes, the editor and

IFU tasks do not support them. Do not issue a multiple volume write from EDI or from IFU. It may fail and corrupt the volume by jeopardizing the volume file integrity, and the Interpress file and font integrity. Avoid this problem by writing files to a single volume and selectively including files or font families.

If an Interpress font family is copied to tape, floppy, or cartridge, and then read back, the corresponding LPS font files are assigned new names. Since the comparable Interpress font names map to the same LPS font files, do not copy one Interpress font family without its comparable names. If you do so, and then copy it back to the same LPS, the LPS creates duplicate fonts on the system. The duplicate fonts do not affect the Interpress mapping structure, but they do increase the amount of disk storage space used.

For the IFU COPY FLOPPY WRITE command, only one write may be performed per floppy. Appending writes on floppy disks is not allowed.

IFU DEFAULT

Establishes the Interpress master font family default used to print an Interpress master which does not specify a font name. This name can also be set when the IPFNTS command is used to compile the Interpress fonts .JSL file.

IFU DEFAULT Interpress font family name

Interpress font family name

Specifies the font files to be used as the default.

IFU does not check the validity of the default font name. An unrecognized font name generates the Interpress error message:

Master Error (page n): Font problem; font "<font name>" unknown

.

If the font name is too long, the printed message is truncated.

IFU DELETE

Deletes the LPS files associated with an Interpress font, or with a family of Interpress fonts.

IFU DELETE Interpress font name


Specifies the font file or files to be deleted. If you use masking, you are prompted for confirmation.

The default response is N.

The system font files associated with deleted fonts are not deleted, since they can be referenced by other mappings. You must use the COMPRESS command to delete font files which are no longer referenced by any Interpress font file.

The password is not displayed on the screen when you enter it.

The screen remains blank and does not indicate the length of the password.

When you log onto the system using the single-line command format of the LOGON command, be aware that the password is captured in the Data Capture Utility (DCU) log if it is turned on.

For greater security when logging onto the system, enter

LOGON security-level, then wait for the system to prompt you for the password. In this case, the password is not captured on the DCU log.

You must always use a password to access a logon level higher than the current level.

You may not need a password to move from a higher level to a lower level. For example, you can move from level 5 to level 2 without a password.

Since your service representatives can access both logon levels 3 and 4, the service technician can move from level 4 to 3 without entering a password.

You must use a password to move from level 5 to level 3 or 4.

If you change a password during a print job, the change takes effect with the next print job.

MOVE

Syntax


Physically positions a magnetic tape or cartridge by a specified number of files or blocks either forward or backward. You can use MOVE during job processing, but you must stop input first with STOP I due to an error stop. If no job is active, you can enter the command directly.

This command operates on the tape or cartridge device that has been assigned to the TAPE keyword using the SUB DEV command.

MOVE n keyword n

A decimal integer in the range -32768 to +32767. A positive number indicates forward movement, and a negative number indicates backward movement.

Syntax

Parameters

SYSTEM COMMANDS keyword

FILES

Indicates positioning by files. A positive number moves the tape forward over the same number of tape marks, unless end-of-volume (EOV) terminates the tape movement. A negative number moves the tape backward over the same number of tape marks, unless

BOT terminates the tape movement. File positioning is the default.

BLOCKS

Indicates positioning by blocks. A positive number moves the tape forward over the same number of interblock tape gaps, unless EOT or a tape mark terminates tape movement. A negative number moves the tape backward over the same number of blocks, unless BOT or a tape mark terminates tape movement.

The default is FILES.

If a job is in process when you invoke MOVE, the system requests a CONTINUE I to resume.

Whenever a tape move is halted by reaching a tape mark, the tape is always positioned at the block one greater than the absolute block number of the tape mark. This is done regardless of the direction of the move.

MOVE BLOCKS is not allowed if ABNORMAL SECURITY=YES is coded in the job descriptor library of the report being processed.

To successfully move an entry in the queue, it must have a status of either queued or held. If you specify multiple entries to be moved, they must all have the same status. For example, all entries must be queued or all held; you cannot intermix them.

Moving an entry in the report queue may not necessarily imply the order that it is scheduled because of its position in the queue. For example:

• If the schedule mode is by resource, moving one or more entries to the TOP of the report queue only ensures that they are scheduled next within the context of their attribute type, such as the primary.

• If the schedule mode is by order received, entries are scheduled based on their position in the queue.

PSTATUS



SYSTEM COMMANDS

Considerations Expect a delay of a few seconds when you request the status during printing because displaying status information is a lower priority than printing operations. Specifically, responses are delayed until end-of-report processing is reported.

If you invoke this command when the printer is not cycling, tray status displays according to the current feed command. The next page to print is not considered. For example, if the current feed command is a cluster command with mixed tray (paper) sizes, the cluster tray that displays may not be the cluster tray with the correct paper for the currently active job. Tables 1-16 through 1-18 give the status of the paper trays, output trays, and the stitcher. Figure 1-13 shows an example of the printer status display.

Logon level

Default

Example

Considerations

Sets the size of the print file on the system disk. The print file size should be at least 400 cylinders. The print file is assigned

400 cylinders during system generation, but you may need to increase its size in order to meet your installation requirements.

You can increase or decrease the print file size any time the system is idle.

If you enter a parameter, you do not receive system prompts during the reallocation process. The warning messages which inform you not to disturb the process still display. The size of the current print file is not displayed. The system informs you of the number of cylinders allocated and the number of cylinders actually usable by input and output. The system maintains and updates a permanent record of all unusable cylinders. These unusable cylinders are unavailable until the disk is reformatted during a full system generation. If the print file size is less than

400 cylinders or is too small for the job, the engine cycles up and down. This is not desirable. Refer to the Xerox Operating

System Software Program Description for more information on the print file size.

REALLOCATE cylinder size,file size cylinder size

Specifies the cylinder size for the new print file. If the

cylinder size is larger than the largest print file that REA can make, it makes the largest size print file it can. Must be equal to or greater than the minimum configuration for your system. Must be at least 400.

?

Creates up to the default size for the print file if one does not exist. If a print file already exists, a print file of the same size is created.

!

Creates a default size print file even if one already exists. file size

Creates a file size subject to a minimum or maximum value.


The default (and minimum) size of the raster disk file is the cylinder value, which equals 32,768 sectors.

REALLOCATE ?,0

The REALLOCATE interactive dialogue does not allow you to change the size of the raster file.

Do not interrupt the reallocation process: interruption can make sections of the disk unusable until the next completed reallocation.


Recommendations

SYSTEM COMMANDS

The cylinder size value must be at least 400. A high cylinder size value helps prevent disk saturation.

The cylinder size value must also leave at least 50 cylinders of free space on the disk.

Reallocation may terminate with the message

PRINT FILE TOO

SMALL

. The message indicates that the print file has not been created because there is not enough available space. Correct this problem by compressing the disk (COMPRESS DP1:) and reallocating (REA) again. If these steps do not make REA successful, you must review files on the disk and back them up, delete them from the disk, use PURGE, and rerun COMPRESS and REA.

If n is 0, the current raster file size is deleted, but no new file is created. A value less than the minimum size results in an error message and reallocation does not occur.

Manage cylinders so that the required minimum print file sizes are maintained to assure printing without input or output processing lock-up. REALLOCATE processing enforces the minimum print file sizes shown in table 1-20.

Provides system activity information for all user accounts. The system activity report summarizes system activity by retrieving information from the system activity log file.

Provides user and system activity information for the specified user account. The customer billing report summarizes billing information by retrieving billing meter information from the printer non-volatile memory (NVM).

Provides system activity information for all user accounts. The system activity report summarizes system activity by retrieving information from the system activity log file.

Provides page count information on the following:

• Total print job output

• Subtotal output produced by the black and highlight xerographic modes

• Total output produced by the diagnostic mode.

The user accounting report summarizes the user accounting information by retrieving information from the user accounting log file.

Syntax


The customer billing, user accounting, and system activity reports print in the system portrait font P0612$.FNT by default. You can specify another font by creating a DFLT.SYS file. The font specified must be fixed pitch, portrait, and 12-point or smaller, and consist of any or all of these records:

• BLRPTF = font-id (specifies customer billing font)

• ACRPTF = font-id (specifies activity report font)

• SARPTF = font-id (specifies system activity font).

Completed reports can be:

• Shown on the keyboard or display

• Printed

• Shown on the keyboard or display and printed

• Printed and cleared from the information log files (system activity and user accounting reports only)

• Displayed, printed, and cleared from the log file (system activity and user accounting reports only).

Successful delivery includes any user-specified point of delivery and dynamically diverted sheets (sheets diverted to the sample tray because of an output jam, and transparencies diverted to the sample tray). Sheets purged after restart are not counted.

System serial number

The first time you enter the REPORT command after you run a full sysgen or reformat the system disks, you are prompted to enter the nine-character system serial number located on a silver metal plate inside the front right-hand door of the printer. If your entry is valid, the information is saved in the MCHID$.SYS

file. You are prompted only once for the serial number. If the

MCHID$.SYS file is not on the system, you are prompted for the serial number each time you run the REPORT utility.

AAAnnnnnn

A

Specifies the product code, and can be any uppercase alphanumeric character.

n

Specifies a unique serial number for your system, and can be any numeric character.

RESET

Stops all system processing activity, removes all print jobs from the job queue, and cycles any pages in the printer paper path to the print tray. When you display the queue, all of these reports show a status of RESET. The system remains in an idle state until you enter the next command.

If the input device is tape, the tape remains positioned as it was when the RESET command executed.

The command should be restricted with RCU to levels 2 through

5.

To terminate a job before it completes, enter the ABORT command rather than the RESET command.

RESET

If RESET executes during job processing, accounting data is recorded in the system accounting file only for reports that are completely processed and printed.

For systems configured with a stitcher/stacker, if RESET executes while a job is in process, the system holds a few sheets in the stitching tray. These sheets are released at the start of the next job.

REVIEW

Reviews each file in a directory with the option to delete it. The file names display one at a time. You can delete a file by entering D, or exit the display process by entering the X command.

SAMPLE

Request a sample print while a job is printing or to print a form, logo, image file, or font set when the system is idle. Each sample print that includes graphics provides a descriptor page with metric data identifying the color format. When a job is printing, the next page to be printed is printed twice. One copy is delivered to an output tray, the other is delivered to the sample print tray. Use samples to check the print quality and

SYSTEM COMMANDS alignment of a job. If the system is idle, you must identify the file that you want to sample.


All sample jobs, except form samples, are formatted for printing using the default paper size specified at system generation.

(Form samples are formatted using the paper size specified by the form if one is specified, or the default paper size specified at system generation.)

You can sample an image only if the default paper size is larger than the graphic image.

When sampling multiple forms or color palettes using a wildcard specification, make sure that the FONTS command setting is 67 or higher, and that the FORMS command is set to 2. This prevents errors resulting from insufficient memory.

A sample font prints only in black and white. Do not add color parameters to a sample command that specifies a font file.

SAMPLE with parameters is not available during HIP printing.

You cannot print a sample if the document has fewer than three pages or if ABNORMAL SECURITY=YES is coded in the job descriptor library of the report being processed.

If you sample multiple font, form, or logo files without specifying an override ink list, numerous mismatch conditions may occur.

Your system must be equipped with the GVG2 processor hardware option in order to sample image files.

The system breaks large sample jobs (more than approximately

1,000 sampled files) into multiple print jobs.

Do not delete SAMCM1.CME. It is required for sampling files.

When Tape or Disk jobs are running, the SAMPLE command with parameters is not allowed.

For non-English sysgens, use of the translated SAMPLE command with optional position information does not work., for example,

SAM XVGHO.IMG,,,(.5in, .5in). Use the English command.

A generic file-name which selects multiple graphic files.

Within the mask, one or more question marks (?) and/or asterisks (*) are substituted for legal alphanumeric characters. The name of each .IMG file on the disk is compared to the mask, and a sample of the graphic is printed for each equal comparison. In file-name comparison, an asterisk or question mark equals any character. If the last character of the mask is an asterisk, characters in subsequent positions equal the asterisk. If the last character of the mask is a question mark, any subsequent positions must be blank (such as files with names longer than the mask are not sampled). Samples are sent automatically to the output stacker tray.

vpos

Specifies the vertical position of the top edge of the graphic, relative to the physical page origin in dots, centimeters (cm), or inches (in), specified as a decimal number with up to three digits to the right of the decimal point. If you do not specify units, inches are assumed. The default is top left.

hpos

Specifies the horizontal position of the left edge of the graphic relative to the physical page origin. The form of this specification (cm, in, or dots) is the same as for vpos. The default is top left.

orientation

L or P

Specifies a position reference orientation (landscape or portrait) for the graphic. The file header may specify the default orientation; otherwise the default is portrait.

n/d

Specifies the reference scale factor. Each parameter, n and d must be an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive, resulting in a reference scale factor between 1/8 to 8, inclusive. The reference allowing a reference scale factor is multiplied with that specified at the time the graphic was digitized, and the product is rounded to the nearest integer in the range 1 to 8.

That integer becomes the effective scale factor with which the graphic is imaged. If the reference scale factor specified in the SAMPLE command is too large (so that the graphic exceeds the page size), the specified reference scale factor is flagged with an asterisk (*) on the descriptor page and a reference scale factor of one is used.

SAMPLE is not available during HIP printing.

SECURE

Prevents access to the specified files from logon levels 1 through

4.

The editor supports the security feature by maintaining the security characteristics of the files that it manipulates (such as a renamed secured file retains its security characteristics). An unsecured file that replaces a secured file makes the file unsecured. However, if a secured font is referenced in a forms source library (.FSL) file compiled at logon level 5, the .FSL file and resulting .FRM file are not automatically secured. It is your responsibility to secure the .FSL and .FRM files. Likewise, if you copy a secured file to a new file or over an existing unsecured file, the resulting file is unsecured.

Automatic bin selection allows you to fill the active bin. When full, the operating system automatically changes to the alternate tray, thus allowing printing to continue and providing for improved throughput due to the overlapped operation. For both selection modes, approximately 14 pages are delivered to the previously active bin after a new bin selection is made.

Thereafter, pages are delivered to the new bin if it is ready.

SELECT or keyword

,SAMPLE

SELECT keyword

1

1 or 2 or E

Selects a specific tray by the bin number or by entering

“E” for the Bypass Transport (BT) output device. If the bin you select is not ready, the printer cycles down and issues an appropriate message. Whenever the bin you select is full, the printer cycles down. Select tray 1 for the stitcher. With the stitcher/stacker, entering “E” for the Bypass Transport output device is an option for XDDI only.

SAMPLE

Selects the specified bin as the active bin to fill, and assigns the remaining bin as a logical sample bin. If the bin you select is not ready, the printer cycles down and issues an appropriate message. If you enter a SELECT command with only a bin number (1 or 2), it cancels the SAMPLE option.

keyword

2

AUTO

Selects the alternate bin automatically when the active bin becomes full. Selects active bin if ready, or automatically changes role of bins at initiation of printing.

TRAY

Directs printed output to the top sample tray until you enter another SELECT command.


You must direct transparencies to the sample tray.

If you enter SELECT without an operand, the alternate bin is selected but the mode does not change (for example, if in

AUTO, it remains in AUTO; if specific, it remains so). The

SAMPLE option is not canceled if the SAMPLE option was previously invoked to specify a bin as the logical sample tray.

When you enter SELECT without an operand, the alternate bin is selected and the remaining bin becomes the sample tray. In other words, the active bin and the sample tray change roles.

SYSTEM COMMANDS

Any attempt to designate the stitcher/stacker as an alternate sample destination (such as SELECT 1, SAMPLE, or SELECT 2,

SAMPLE) is unacceptable by output.

For XDDI only, if SELECT AUTO is entered when a Bypass

Transport output device is attached to the printer, the following message is displayed:

OS1295 Destination trays not configured for this command

SEPARATE

Sends the next output report processed to the other output tray.

SEPARATE OFF

(no parameter)

Enables SEPARATE processing.

OFF

Disables SEPARATE processing.

A bin change occurs only if the new bin is ready (it is not full or jammed). SEPARATE is disabled by one of the following:

• End of report

• SEPARATE OFF

• Current bin fills before the end of the report

• SELECT command

• SEPARATE remains in effect for the duration of the current report. At end of report, the bin change occurs, and

SEPARATE is disabled until you request it again.

SET QUEUE DISPLAY

Use this command to specify the type of information to display in the print queue. The option you specify remains in effect until you change it again.


SET QUEUE DISPLAY [BRIEF|FULL|CLASSIC]

BRIEF

SFT restores files only from tapes created with DSR.

You can copy only one file at a time from tape to disk.

When writing a file to disk, SFT deletes the file on the disk (if it already exists) and writes the file from the DSR tape to the first location on the disk which can accommodate the file size.

Specify the full file name; SFT does not support wildcards.

Do not copy .$Y$, .SAF, .SYS, .TSK, or .LOG files.

If two files have the same name on the DSR tape, SFT writes only the first file to disk.

If a system disk is full, SFT writes the specified file to the next disk.

The system disks must be structurally intact and consistent.

SPACE n REPORTS

Positions a tape or cartridge by logical reports within the limits of the start-of-job tape position and the end-of-data, along with the

REPORTS option. Enter the START command first to initiate a job before you enter the SPACE command.


SPACE n REPORTS n

Specifies a decimal integer in the range -32768 to +32767.

A positive number indicates forward report spacing, and a negative number indicates backward spacing. The tape cannot be positioned before the start-of-job tape position or after end-of-data. If the start-of-tape position is on another tape, the tape cannot be positioned to it.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

Considerations You can enter a SPACE command any time after initiating a job only if the following conditions are met:

• Input is stopped. Use the STOP INPUT command; it is confirmed by the message

INPUT STOPPED

• START command did not specify the REPORTS option.

SPACE n PAGES

1-104

Syntax


Logon level

Considerations

Positions pages forward and backward within the current report during report printing. During forward page spacing, if output catches up with input, output displays a message indicating that this has occurred and resumes spacing when the catchup condition no longer exists. While output is being caught up, output accepts and processes other commands with the exception of the SAMPLE command.

An accounting page is produced at the end of the report, indicating that the page spacing was performed.

SPACE n PAGES n

Specifies a decimal integer in the range -32768 to +32767.

A positive number spaces forward over N pages unless endof-report is encountered first. If encountered, no further forward spacing is allowed until printing is resumed. A negative value spaces backwards over N pages unless the beginning is encountered. If encountered, no further backward spacing is allowed until printing is resumed.


A sample cannot be obtained during spacing.

Once you begin page spacing, you cannot stop it before the specified number of pages have been spaced without aborting the report.

Prior to selecting the PAGE SPACE command, stop output via the

STOP or STOP O command. After the PAGE SPACE command, resume printing using the CONTINUE or CONTINUE O command.

n must include all pages, including the system-generated pages.

Page spacing is not executed when:

• ABNORMAL SECURITY=YES is coded in the JDE/JDL in effect.

The

OS1420 SPACING NOT ALLOWED BY JDE message displays.

• The current report is n-1. The

OS1421 SPACING NOT ALLOWED

message displays.

• Output is not currently working on a job. The

OS2715

COMMAND IGNORED...RETRY LATER message displays.

Backward spacing is not allowed if the system is printing the last

(or only) copy of a collated report.

For duplex printing, page spacing prints on the front and back of each sheet. Therefore, if you enter an odd page count in a space command, the total number of pages actually spaced is 1 greater. Page spacing logic counts physical sides of sheets; both

For example, a report requires 5 sheets in duplex, 10 sheets in simplex, and each side consists of four logical pages (4-up) for a total of 40 logical pages, and you issue a space command of 3 pages. In simplex, the system delivers 3 sheets, for a total of 12 logical pages. In duplex, the system increments the odd space count to 4, such that 2 sheets will be delivered (16 logical pages).

Creates a system software tape. You can also perform the following tasks:

• Create backups of Xerox labeled tapes, primarily of SST.

• Create backups of SST tapes which can be read from your host and downloaded to the LPS. (These are referred to as

“online” SST tapes in the system prompts.)

• Modify an SST tape by deleting or replacing files on it.

• Restore a file from the SST tape to the LPS.

• Copy the restored files to another SST tape.

• Delete the restored files from the LPS disk.

START jde,jdl,,copies,DISC:document-name jde

A one- to six-character identifier for the job descriptor entry to be used in processing the job. If you omit this entry, the user-specified default (DFLT) of the job descriptor library is used.

jdl

A one- to six-character identifier of the job descriptor library for the print job. It must be listed in the jdl file directory. If you omit this entry, the default jdl with the identifier DFAULT in the PDL SYSTEM command is used.

value

S or M

Specifies single report (S) or multiple report (M). The default is multiple report. Single report halts the system after processing each report to allow you to select the job setup parameters for the next report by entering a new START command. The accounting sheet will call the report “REPORT 1.” If REPORTS is invoked with the S mode, the REPORT overrides the S option.


Examples

Considerations

SYSTEM COMMANDS

If multiple reports are listed in the REPORTS option, all the reports are processed in multiple report mode, except the last report, which is processed in single report mode. Multiple report mode allows all reports in all files to be processed continuously. Processing automatically moves from report to report, file to file, and volume to volume.

copies

Prints a specified number of copies of a report. Overrides the value specified in the job descriptor entry and any DJDE commands.

r

...

Specifies the sequence of 1 to 14 reports to be processed.

Only reports specified are printed. r

1 and r

2

are numeric values or ranges of values representing the print order of reports. A range is specified as n-m, where n and m are the first and last reports in the range, respectively. For example, entering REPORTS: 6,1-3,5,4 causes the sixth report to print first, followed by the first through third, followed by the fifth and then the fourth. If the job contains more than 6 reports, they would not be processed. The REPORTS option is also useful for printing one report of a multiple report tape. This saves the step of spacing over reports not needed. Refer to the SPACE command for more information.

document-name

Specifies the name of the file created by the HIP CHANGE command.

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.

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.

START

No options are specified, so 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.

START J12,H2SYS,,2,REPORTS:3-4

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

START, ONLINE,,,FORM=GBAR

This command processes online data according to the DFLT

JDE in the online .JDL file, using the GBAR form.

The REPORTS option is available only for offline jobs. If you are running an online job, you must enter a comma (,) as a place holder for the S or M in the START command.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

1-108

START parameter options are positional and must be separated by commas. You must enter a comma to replace a parameter that is not specified.

The START options override those specified in the job descriptor library. Figure 1-15 lists details on override parameter options.

If a specified font or form file fails a validity check during input, the system aborts the job and displays the following messages:

OS8852 INVALID FONT FILE HEADER or

OS8855 INVALID FORM FILE HEADER

.

When HIP submitted jobs are running, the START command is not allowed. When tape or disk jobs are running, the START command is allowed.

1/2 inch, 3480-compatible, cartridge tape drive (SCSI).

MFCTS

For the 4850 only, the 1/2 inch, 3480-compatible, cartridge tape drive mounted in the 180-CTS Cartridge

Tape System (MTA).

CTS

This parameter allows the system to pick whichever cartridge tape drive is installed on your system.

Due to the long power-up/initialization period of the 3480 cartridge tape drive, this device is always considered present, regardless of the true system configuration. Thus, any

SUBSTITUTE DEVICE assignment involving the SFCTS physical name will be accepted, even if this tape drive is not physically present.

SYSTEM COMMANDS

An example of such a tape command is SUB DEV SFCTS FOR

CAR. If you attempt to access and use this drive (such as with the command COP CAR REA LAB XYS.FNT), you are informed that the device is offline. In this situation, this offline message indicates that the device does not exist.

SUBSTITUTE DEVICE physical-device FOR keyword

Assigns a specific physical device to the TAPE or CARTRIDGE keyword.

System boots, updates, or mini-sysgens do not reset TAPE and

CARTRIDGE physical device assignments. A full sysgen with disk format resets SUBSTITUTE DEVICE assignments to their defaults.

SUBSTITUTE DEVICE [physical-device] FOR [keyword] physical-device

Associates the keyword with the physical device you specify.

Refer to the preceding section for a description of the physical devices available.

keyword

The following keywords are available:

TAPE

Specifies the device assigned to the TAPE keyword.

CARTRIDGE

file-name in the list that is created.

trailing string

Character string (except commas) appended to each file-

name in the list that is created. The total number of leading and trailing characters cannot be greater than 50.


The default file-type is .TMP and the default medium is TAPE.


SYSTEM COMMANDS

Example TAPE LIST,PRINT /SORT, *.FRM FRMFIL.LST

This command creates a file called “FRMFIL.LST” which lists all the .FRM files on the mounted tape. The file names in

FRMFIL.LST are sorted in alphabetical order, and FRMFIL.LST is printed. If the screen display of the sorted records is interrupted during a pause by the X command, then the created file

“FRMFIL.LST” lists only the displayed file names.

Listing begins at the current tape position and continues to the end of the tape. (The listing may be stopped by entering the X command when the pause occurs on the display.) If the PRINT option is specified, the operator is asked to enter a tape volume

ID. The ID can be 0 to 30 characters. If more than 30 characters are entered, only the first 30 characters are used. The following title line appears on each page of the printed listing:

TAPE DIRECTORY date time TAPE ID: id string

The following header line precedes the tape file information on both the screen and printed listings:

FILE NO. FILE NAME FILE SIZE - BF - DATE

FILE NO.

Decimal number that indicates the numerical position of the file on the tape.

FILE NAME

The file-id.

FILE SIZE

Number of 512-byte disk sectors.

- BF -

Number of 512-byte disk sectors in 1 tape block.

DATE

Date the file was written to tape.

If a valid tape label cannot be found, a number appears in the

FILE

NO

. field, but the other fields are blank. This is the case when listing a system software tape (SST). The first two files of the SST do not have labels. A string of asterisks appearing in the date field means that no date was specified in the label or that it could not be converted properly.

To print the file, exit from the editor (using the END command).

You may spool editor print files. The current working storage file is intact if you reenter the editor after the file is printed. The listing is in portrait mode.

Editor commands

This section describes the text file editing conventions and commands available for the Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 Laser

Printing Systems.

LPS editor

Starting an editing session

Line numbers in source files

Editing operations you can perform

Edit changes made to .TMP files

The Laser Printing System (LPS) editor is a utility which provides file editing facilities as part of normal operator communication and control. These facilities are available for the creation, modification, and maintenance of files when the system is idle.

The editor has commands for creating and modifying source files

(JSL, FSL) as well as commands for the maintenance of any type of system disk file.

You enter EDIT to invoke the editor and begin an editing session. The system displays the

EDIT>

prompt when you are working in the editor.

Each source file has line numbers associated with its data records. These numbers allow you to access and perform editing operations on each line of the source file. If you are downloading source files from a host computer through

HOSTCOPY, you must use the MERGE command described in this chapter to add line numbers. The editor automatically adds line numbers to all other types of source files.

You enter single string commands to do the following:

• Create a sequenced source file

• Insert, reorder, and replace lines of text

• Selectively print and display files

• Reorder and renumber records within a file

• Merge part of one file into another

• Match, move, and substitute character strings within a specified range of text lines

• Copy, rename, and delete files.

When you modify a file, you make changes to a temporary file in working storage, not to the permanent file on a system disk.

When a request is made to edit an existing file, the specified file is copied into working storage. The system saves these working files from one editor session to another, but any intervening use of the editor is likely to destroy file contents. If you want to save a working file permanently, you must use the SAVE command.


EDITOR COMMANDS

Storing source files

Source file type directories

Non-source file type directories

The system has two to four system disks: DP0: and DP1:, and optionally DP2: and DP3:. To optimize file access, files of a given type are stored on a preferred drive; this is known as file biasing.

The actual biasing scheme varies depending on the number of drives available. For example, source files tend to be stored on

DP3: in a three- or four-disk system. You may, however, store all source files on any system disk by specifying a disk-id. To access a specific system disk when you store files, you specify the diskid in the command (for example, DP0:, DP1:, DP2:, or DP3:). If you do not enter a disk-id, the system transfers the files to or from the appropriate disk.

You can edit source files found in the directories listed in table

2-1.

Conventions

Commands

Character strings

The following conventions apply to the editor commands:

With the exception of composite commands such as SCE, you can enter all commands in full or with the first three characters only. For example, you can enter RENUMBER or REN.

Always enter composite commands in full.

Press <ENTER> to submit each command for execution.

Source file names should contain only uppercase letters A through Z, and numbers 0 through 9.

Split character strings longer than 80 characters as follows:

• Use the ampersand character (&) to indicate the character string continues in the next record.

• Use the syntax of the character string to indicate that it continues in the next record.


EDITOR COMMANDS

Examples

Masking

File id

Disk id

Syntax variations

‘XEROX.PICTORIAL.RED’ 00010

Ink name within one record:

‘XEROX.PICTORIAL.

RED’

00010

00020

Ink name within two records using string syntax (a period) to continue the string.

‘XEROX.PICTORIAL.&

RED’

00010

00020 or

‘XEROX'PICTORIAL.&

RED’

00010

00020 or

‘XEROX.PICTOR& 00010

IAL.RED’ 00020

Ink name within two records using an ampersand to continue the string.

When you specify the file id in file maintenance commands, you can use the masking feature unless otherwise noted. With masking, you use an asterisk (*) or question mark (?) as a wildcard or string lookup for the file name. The asterisk makes single and multiple alphanumeric characters, even a blank, a match. The question mark makes only single alphanumeric characters, including a blank, a match.

The file id refers to the name of a file and the file directory in which it is cataloged. Thus, when specifying a file id, you must key in file-name.file-type. File-name is a one- to six-character file name. File-type is one of the file directories under which the file name is cataloged. For example, SIGMA.JSL would be the file id of the file named SIGMA, which is cataloged in the JSL file directory.

The disk id refers to one of two to four system disks, which are defined as DP0:, DP1:, DP2:, or DP3:. File manipulation editor commands which do not specify a disk number transfer the files to or from appropriate disk according to file type. You can direct access to or from a specific disk.

When n-m is used in the command syntax, the following usage is implied: n-m

Specifies starting and ending line numbers.

n

Specifies one line number.

n-

Specifies line number to the end of the file.

-m

Specifies beginning of the file to the identified line number.

The highest valid line number is 32,765. The maximum number of file records (lines) is 5000.

EDITOR COMMANDS

SORT

STEP

2-24

Syntax

Logon level

Example

Considerations

Used after you invoke FID from within the editor. FID generates a list of all files of the file type you specified on the system and creates a .CMD file which consists of one record for each file.

Each record is a semicolon followed by the one- to six-character file name, a period, and the file type. (ex: ~7:) You must use

GET to put this .CMD file in the editor work area before you issue the SORT command, since SORT has no optional parameters and operates only on the file in the editor work area.

SORT copies the .CMD file records to a .TMP file, putting them in alphabetical sequence by the sort order of the characters in positions 2 through 7.

As file names typically consist of uppercase letters and numbers, the sort priority used by the SORT command is:

?, A,B,C...Z,0,1,2,...9

where ? is any character which is not an uppercase letter or a number. A lowercase letter or special character is ignored (as are any following characters), and the record is written to the beginning of the file.

If the editor work file is empty when you issue the SORT command, the system displays the message

NOTHING TO SORT.

SORT


In the following example, FID creates a file named “FSLFIL.CMD,” listing all the .FSL files on the LPS disks. Next, GET is used to put the FSLFIL.CMD file in the editor working area. Then FSLFIL.CMD

is sorted, creating the FSLFIL.TMP file which is printed or displayed.

option

NOEOF

Disables the writing of tape marks between files. This command must precede the list of file names to be written to tape.

EOF

Enables the writing of tape marks. This command writes two tape marks and then backs up over one of the tape marks.

ENDFILE

Enables the writing of tape marks. Writes the file

ENDFIL.END and ends the tape with three tape marks. It then backs up over two of the tape marks.

Also concatenates files without tape marks between logical files. For example, you may create a backup tape with all files concatenated into one file (multiple logical files in one physical file), thereby eliminating the need for multiple job steps when executing HOSTCOPY to download these files.

The logon levels are 1 through 5. Available only from the editor.

All files may be copied with TAPE.

If tape mark writing is disabled using NOEOF and you must enable it again using EOF or ENDFILE, the tape will not contain any tape marks to signify the end of the tape. A tape must normally end with two tape marks.

If NOEOF is selected and the end of tape is reached while writing a file, the LPS marks the tape two times in that area, and the last file will be corrupted.


EDITOR COMMANDS

Examples

Recommendation

If tape mark writing is disabled using NOEOF and you must enable it again using EOF or ENDFILE, the tape will not contain any tape marks to signify the end of the tape. A tape must normally end with two tape marks.

In the following example of NOEOF and ENDFILE, three .IMG

files are copied to cartridge with no tape marks written between the .IMG files. TAPE ENDFILE enables the writing of tape marks, writes the ENDFIL.END file to tape, writes three tape marks, and backs up over two of them:

EDIT>

TAPE NOEOF

EDIT>

COPY CAR WRITE LABEL ABC.IMG

EDIT>

COPY CAR WRITE LABEL ABD.IMG

EDIT>

CAR TAPE WRITE LABEL BCD.IMG

CAR ENDFILE

In the following example of NOEOF and EOF, three .IMG files are copied to tape with no tape marks written between the .IMG

files. TAPE EOF writes three tape marks and backs up over two of them:

EDIT>

TAPE NOEOF

EDIT>

COPY TAPE WRITE LABEL ABC.IMG

EDIT>

COPY TAPE WRITE LABEL ABD.IMG

EDIT>

COPY TAPE WRITE LABEL BCD.IMG

EDIT>

TAPE EOF

Use the ENDFILE option to prepare a tape to be used by the

HOSTCOPY command.

For example, you can create a backup tape with all files concatenated into one file (multiple logical files in one physical file), thereby eliminating the need for multiple job steps when executing HOSTCOPY to download these files.

This command is provided for compatibility with the HOSTCOPY procedure, which requires that the end of the last physical file on the tape be identified with a logical file called ENDFIL.END. This file results in the message

END OF TAPE FOUND. IS ANOTHER FILE

TO BE SENT to be displayed during HOSTCOPY.

TAPE or CARTRIDGE FIND

Syntax


Positions the tape or cartridge preceding the label record of the file. You can then issue commands to manipulate this file.

This command operates on the tape or cartridge device that has been assigned to the TAPE keyword using the SUB DEV command. Refer to the SUBSTITUTE DEVICE command in the

Font editor commands

This section describes the font editor commands available for the

4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS . Font editor commands allow you to create and edit font files . You can also modify font and logo files to allow printing.

Font editor

Where to find font information

Selecting source font files

Font files not on the system disk

Primary and secondary source font files

What is general font file information?

The font editor utility enables a font-knowledgeable user, with logon class 2 or higher access privileges, to create font files from existing non licensed and licensed source font files. The user must determine what existing source font files need accessing, when they need accessing, and which characters need copying.

Refer to the LPS Font User Guide for functional and descriptive font information. Use the SAMPLE command described in the

“System commands” chapter if you want font information for a font which currently resides on the system disk.

Evaluate the general and specific characteristics of the standard, licensed, and user-created font files on your system to select the file which most closely matches the requirements of the new font file . The new font files are either an abridged, enhanced, or hybrid version of one or more source font files .

You can load any standard font library font file which is not residing on the system disk from the Standard Font Library magnetic tape, floppy diskette, or cartridge tape. You can also download font files from a channel-attached host. Additional font-related information and assistance are available from the

Xerox Font Center. Refer to the “Downloading host files” chapter in the Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS System

Administration Guide for instructions on how to download files from a host computer.

Use existing font files as one of the following:

• Primary source font file, which provides general overall font characteristics, plus specified characters

• Secondary source font file, which provides only specified characters added to the primary source font file.

General font file information applies to the entire font (for example, matrix length, file name in ASCII, program version, pitch, header-character width tables, and so forth). This information comes from the first selected licensed source font file. If a secondary source font file is the first licensed font file selected, general font file information from this file will overwrite

Kanji fonts general font file information from an unlicensed primary source font file. (If none of the source files you select are licensed, the system takes general font characteristics from the primary source font file.)

The font file you create should differ from its primary source font file primarily in the composition of its character set. You can copy characters from either primary or secondary source font files, change the character selection mode for specific characters, and make new character code assignments.

The general characteristics of the new font file are augmented with security information from the first selected licensed source font file, whether or not it is the primary source font file.

Both the source and output font files can be up to 1 MB in size.

The font editor cannot edit a kanji font.

Font file editing sessions

Using command files to create font files

Creating font files in interactive mode

You can create new font files either in an interactive mode or automatically through use of a command file.

You can create command files which you use to generate new font files automatically. When you create a font command file, you include all necessary font information in the command file itself. Refer to the “Command file commands” chapter for more information about command files.

To designate a command file for a preprogrammed editing session, enter FEDIT followed by the command file id, in the following format:

FEDIT @filename.file type

In most instances, file type is .CMD.

If you do not include an END command in the command file, you remain in the font editor at the end of the session. Enter

END to exit the font editor.

Follow the process outlined in table 3-1 to complete an interactive font editing session.

Note: This table provides an overview of the basic font editor commands and the sequence in which you might use them. You might use other commands in a font editing session, such as

SUBSTITUTE or REORDER. Refer to table 3-3 for a complete list of font editor commands.

Creating a new font file

Action

Invoke the font editor and specify the font file to use as a primary source font file.

You can perform this step in two ways:

1. Use the FEDIT command to invoke the font editor. When the FEDIT> prompt displays, use the INPUT command to specify the primary source font file.

or

2. Enter FEDIT file-name.file-type to invoke the font editor and select the primary source font file at the same time. When the FEDIT> prompt displays, the font editor is ready to accept the next keyword command.

Use the CHARACTER, HEXADECIMAL, or OCTAL command to set the character selection mode.

Note: This mode is in effect until you specify another character selection mode.

If you do not enter a value, the system default for the initial character selection mode is HEXADECIMAL.

Use the INCLUDE or RECODE command to copy characters from the source font file to the new font file.

Note: INCLUDE specifies which characters in the new font file have the same character code assignments as characters in the source file. RECODE specifies which characters have different character code assignments.

Use the OPEN command to specify the next font file, if you want a secondary source font file.

Use the CHARACTER, HEXADECIMAL, or OCTAL command to set the character selection mode.

Note: You can express characters such as blanks, which do not exist on the keyboard and cannot be expressed as character literals, by their hexadecimal or octal code assignments.

Use the INCLUDE or RECODE command to copy characters from the secondary source font file to the new font file.

Use the CLOSE command to close the secondary source font file when you have finished copying characters.

Use the OUTPUT command to save and name the new font file.

Use the END command to terminate the font editing session.

Sample font editing session In the sample font editing session shown in table 3-2, an existing font file designated as L05TAB is selected as the primary source font file, and an existing font file designated as L05TBC is selected as the secondary source font file. The newly created font file is assigned a unique font file name (UNEEK) which does not conflict with any file names currently in use.

For a complete listing of hexadecimal and octal character codes, refer to the “Character code assignment tables” appendix of the

4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS Print Description Language (PDL)

Reference.

20 SAMPLE UNEEK.FNT

Obtains a copy of the new font file.

Step 3 can be omitted since the initial character selection mode is HEXADECIMAL by default. However, it is necessary to respecify HEXADECIMAL in step 11 because character selection mode was set to CHARACTER in step 8.

Step 4 copies a blank character, which has a hexadecimal code assignment of 20 in the standard ASCII character set. Since the

INCLUDE command is used, the character code assignment does not change for the new font file. This step, as well as step 12, illustrates how you can specify characters as hexadecimal or octal values when the characters do not exist on the keyboard and thus cannot be expressed as literals.

Step 5 copies uppercase characters A through F (hexadecimal character codes 41 through 46 in the standard ASCII character set) and recodes them with contiguous character code assignments 3A through 3F in the new font file.

Step 7 copies the dollar sign ($), which is octal character code 44 in the UNIVAC ASCII character set, and recodes it to octal 177.

Step 9 copies 62 characters expressed as literals from the primary source font file (the digits 0 through 9, the lowercase alphabet, and the uppercase alphabet). Because the INCLUDE command is used, character code assignments do not change for the new


FONT EDITOR COMMANDS font file. For an input device limited to uppercase characters, this step codes as INCLUDE 0-9, A-Z.

Steps 13 through 16 illustrate how you must use separate

RECODE commands for noncontiguous characters.

Step 17 closes L05TBC, the secondary source font file. The primary source font file resumes a foreground status. This step is optional since the secondary source font file closes implicitly when you enter the END command.

Step 18 saves the temporary font file as a permanent font file with the file name UNEEK.

The available commands are HEXADECIMAL, OCTAL,

CHARACTER, INCLUDE, and RECODE.

A secondary source font file may be incompatible with the font character of the primary source (INPUT) font file

The system will display a warning message if this occurs.

OUTPUT

.

OUTPUT file-name .FNT

file-name

Names the font file

.

The file type .FNT is assumed if omitted

.



OUTPUT executes only if you have copied characters from a source font file with INCLUDE or RECODE.

If an existing font file has the same name as that specified in an

OUTPUT command, the system issues a message requesting confirmation that the existing font file should be overwritten.

If you enter Y, OUTPUT executes . This occurs when you are working on a long font editing session and want to save the intermediate results

.

The latest intermediate results supersede the preceding intermediate results.

If you enter N, OUTPUT does not execute . This response helps to prevent the inadvertent loss of an existing font file . The current newly created font file may be saved by issuing another

OUTPUT command and using a unique file name.

The contents of working storage are not affected by the OUTPUT command

.

Thus, a series of new font files where the first file is a subset of a latter file may be created . This is done by issuing an

OUTPUT command at intermediate points within a font editing session using the same primary source font file and any number of secondary source font files.

RECODE

Copies characters and assigns hexadecimal or octal codes in the new font file which are different from their codes in the source font file.

RECODE value value n=m

Copies the character represented by m (a hexadecimal or octal code, or the character literal) to the character in the new font file which is represented by n.

n-m=x-y

Copies the characters represented by the hexadecimal or octal codes (or character literals) in the range x-y to characters in the new font file which are represented by the range n-m.



Logon level

Considerations

Example n=x-y

Copies the characters represented by the hexadecimal or octal codes (or literal characters) in the range x-y from the source file to characters in the new font file that are represented by the hexadecimal or octal codes (or character literals) beginning with x.


When you copy characters with noncontiguous character code assignments, you must enter a separate RECODE command for each character copied and recoded. When you copy characters with contiguous character code assignments, you can abbreviate the list by showing the initial character within the new font file equated to a range of characters within the source font file.

(Specify the range by including the initial character within the source font file, followed by a hyphen, followed by the terminal character within the source font file.)

RECODE 44= 232

HEXADECIMAL

FEDIT>

RECODE 3A=41-46

In the preceding example, the OCTAL keyword command specifies that the character selection mode is octal . Therefore, characters specified by subsequent RECODE command must be expressed as octal values representing character code assignments . As shown, a character within the source font file with character code assignment octal 232 is copied into the new font file and assigned character code of octal 44 . Then the

HEXADECIMAL keyword command sets the character selection mode to hexadecimal . Finally, a string of contiguous characters with character code assignments hexadecimal 41 through 46 in the source file are copied as contiguous characters into the new font and assigned character codes hexadecimal 3A through 3F .

REORDER

REORDER L05TBC.FNT

Use the REORDER command before you begin to create a new font file. After you finish the reordering process for a specified font file, the font editor remains invoked and is available to perform another REORDER command or to select a primary source font file. Do not issue REORDER during a font editing session once a primary source font file has been specified.

Command file commands

This chapter describes the command file commands available for the Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 Laser Printing Systems. These commands allow you to create and edit command files.

Command file overview

How you use command files

Command files have .CMD extension

Executing command files

A command file is a set of frequently used commands which you create using the editor and store as an executable file. It can be a system command file (consisting of OSS commands), an editor command file (consisting of editor commands), or a font editor command file (consisting of font editor commands).

Because command files preserve and execute any set of commands, you tailor command files to streamline your site’s activities. For example, system command files can be useful for system startup and disk initialization, testing, and shift or day initialization. Font editor command files can be useful for creating new font files automatically. You use editor command files to perform any set of editor operations on other files.

Note: Many command files must be executed by a specific processor. If a command file is written for the font editor, it will not function under the text editor. You use the .BCP command, described in this chapter, to ensure that the command file branches to the correct processor.

Command files are usually given a .CMD file extension. If you save a command file with a file extension which is not .CMD, you must specify both the file name and the file extension to execute the file. For example, a command file called TEST.CMD can be executed with @TEST or @TEST.CMD. A command file called

TEST.TMP, however, can be executed only with @TEST.TMP.

You may execute all command files at the system prompt.

Additionally, you may execute editor command files from the editor and font editor command files from the font editor. Some editor command files and font editor command files may not run properly when executed at the system level, or may run very slowly due to repeated loading of the editor or font editor.

Table 4-1 shows the entries you make to execute each type of command file at the system prompt.

EDIT>@file name.file type

FEDIT>@file name.file type

File name is a one- to six-character file name that exists on the disk. File type is optional if the command file has a .CMD

extension. Otherwise, enter the extension.

To execute editor command files at the editor level, enter the

EDIT command to invoke the editor. Then enter the file id.

Similarly, you can execute font editor command files by invoking the font editor first with the FEDIT command, then entering the command file id.

Some utilities, such as REALLOCATE, require operator input in response to questions asked by the processor. The operator must enter these responses, which cannot be coded into the command file. This chapter describes certain command file commands which provide for interaction with the operator during the file’s execution. The system acts upon operator entries between the commands contained in the command file.

Operator entries take effect when the <ENTER> key is pressed.

You must include a .WAIT command after each print job when you process print jobs in a command file. Refer to the .WAIT

command in this chapter for more information.

Command file logical commands, which are identified in table

4-2, cause conditional execution of a command. These commands set symbols to a true or false state, substitute a string of characters for a variable name, and assign an integer value to symbols. The system does not display logical commands unless you enter the .SHOW command, described in this chapter. To turn off the display, use the .NOSHOW command.

Conventions

The following conventions apply to command file commands:

• The at sign (@) must precede the command file id.

• You cannot abbreviate commands within command files.

You must spell out each command.

• Use an asterisk (*) as the first character on a line to indicate that any text which follows is a comment. The comments consist of all characters between the asterisk and the end of the line. A comment line is used to convey information and is ignored by the system.



• Use a semicolon (:) to display messages for the operator.

Messages may be strictly informational, or they may alert the operator when operator input is required at specific points in the command file execution.

For example, you might insert a message to prompt the operator to mount a tape or to warn the operator that certain files have been deleted.

A complete listing of the command file commands is shown in table 4-2.

.WAIT

Delays the command file process until the submitted print job completes processing.

.WAIT

A system command file must include a .WAIT command after each print job (whether a START, SAMPLE, or disk print job, such as an FDL or PDL compilation with printing specified).

Otherwise, the commands following the print job request are refused because the system is printing. When the .WAIT

command executes, the message

OS1275 COMMAND FILE SUSPENDED displays.

Any operator entry made during this waiting period functions normally. An @ABORT entry discontinues command file processing.
