Technical data

• If your document was produced on a PC or contains PostScript commands
specifying the number of copies to print, you may not get the desired jogging
or copy behavior that you expect. For example, you may only get a single
copy of your document, you may get collated copies that are offset from each
other, or the job’s trailer page (if any) may be printed after the first copy of
your document.
To avoid these restrictions, use the /COPIES or /JOB_COUNT qualifiers with
your PRINT command rather than the SHEET_COUNT parameter. Also, do
not specify a copy count other than 1 when producing a document on a PC.
• If the printer’s Collation setting is off, the first DCPS job printed after the
LN40 has been powered on will print with each page offset from the previous
page. There is no workaround for this problem.
9.2.2 VFC Files Consume Excessive CPU Time
Starting with DCPS V1.1, printing VFC-formatted files consumed significantly
more CPU time than printing similar non-VFC files. VFC printing performance
has been improved so that printing VFC files uses approximately the same
amount of time as printing non-VFC files.
9.2.3 Layup Files Installed in Incorrect Directory
When installing DCPS on a system on which DCPS was not running, you
were asked where to put DCPS layup files. If you chose a location other than
the default, DCPS would define the layup logical name DCPS$LAYUP to this
alternate location, but the layup files would be moved to the default location.
DCPS now validates the location you specify and installs the layup files in that
location.
9.2.4 LN20 13x19 Paper Tray Not Selectable
When printing to 13x19 (Universal) paper on the DIGITAL Laser Printer LN20,
specifying the INPUT_TRAY parameter would cause the job to fail. Specifying
the PAPER_SIZE parameter without also specifying INPUT_TRAY would print
correctly.
For example, the following command:
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=INPUT_TRAY=MULTIPURPOSE MY-RESUME.PS
would return the error message:
%DCPS-F-UNKPAPSIZE, Unknown papersize in selected tray, cannot print job
-DCPS-I-JOB_ID, for job MY-RESUME (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 27) on LN20
and the following command:
$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(INPUT_TRAY=MULTIPURPOSE,PAGE_SIZE=13X19) MY-RESUME.PS
would return the error message:
%DCPS-E-SIZNOTRAY, 13x19 size medium is not in the multipurpose tray in LN20.
-DCPS-I-JOB_ID, for job MY-RESUME (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 29) on LN20
%DCPS-E-FLUSHING, Rest of Job (to EOJ) will be ignored
