D.5 Eliminating Generic Queues
DCPS software has the ability to automatically detect data types, so you may
be able to reduce the number of generic queues or eliminate them altogether.
Refer to Chapter 4 for more information on automatic data type detection.
D.6 Page Scaling
The DCPS product can scale the logical page image to fit the output sheet if
the job provides the following parameters:
PAGE_SIZE=p,SHEET_SIZE=s
Note that p and s are different values.
The job assumes the parameter NUMBER_UP=1. With CPS, it was necessary
to explicitly provide a NUMBER_UP parameter in order to trigger page
scaling.
D.7 Layup for PS Level 2 Printers & Layup Fixes
The DCPS software layup facility supports PostScript Level 2 operators when
connected to printers that implement PostScript Level 2. It also fixes or
extends support for several Level 1 operators.
Level 1 PostScript programs produced by Macintosh and PC applications
generally print better with the DCPS product than they did with the CPS
product. Problems with CorelDraw and Macintosh programs have been fixed.
D.8 Layup Options on PRINT Command Line
With DCPS software, you can provide layup options directly with the LAYUP_
DEFINITIONS parameter, or you can record those options in a .LUP file and
provide that file name with the parameter. Providing the layup options on
the PRINT command makes it possible to pass them with jobs to be printed
on another system via the Distributed Queuing Services product. CPS V4.1
software offers only the .LUP file option.
See the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS User’s Guide for information on
expressing layup options in a layup definition file or as a PRINT parameter.
