Xerox Document Centre … for the user dc02cc0304 September 20, 2002 PDL Reference Guide for the DC 555/545/535 Accessing Extended Features Extended Features: • Accounting • Proof Print • Staple • Collation • Duplex • Cover Options • Media Source, Type, and Color • Media Size • Quantity • Delay Print This document pertains to these Xerox products: x DC 555/545/535 Overview This document enables you to access the extended features of the Document Centre in environments that do not have a custom driver.
Print Features The Document Centre supports PostScript level 2 and 3 commands or PCL5e and PCL6 escape sequences that enable the features listed in the following table. NOTE: The Secure Print feature is not referenced in this document. This feature requires the encryption scheme that encodes the secure print password and is Xerox Private Data. Feature Description Job Name Allows you to specify a job name. Job Owner Allows you to specify a job owner. Media Size Allows you to select media size.
Feature Description Printer Banner Sheet Allows you to turn printer banner pages on or off based on individual jobs. Interleave Allows you to insert blank or imaged sheets between transparencies. Interleave Media Color Allows you to select media color for the interleaves. Only use this feature in conjunction with the interleave feature. Delay Print Allows you to specify a time up to 72 hours from the current printer time, to print a job.
PostScript This section describes the PostScript commands required to access specific Document Centre features. This table lists each feature and the PostScript syntax that is required to use the feature. Following this table are some examples of how to use these commands and what the PostScript file looks like. For more information about PostScript commands, refer to the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Third Edition, ISBN 0-201-37922-8.

EURO Font The Euro character is provided in all standard Latin fonts (letter fonts such as Helvetica and Times) and the Symbol font included with the Adobe PostScript 3 interpreter. Special fonts such as ZapfDingbats do not contain the Euro symbol. Although the Euro character’s “glyph” is added to the PostScript fonts, standard font encoding (that is, the character set) does not include the character.

Sample PostScript Headers NOTE: The header for simple print specifies the Job Owner, Job Name, and one copy. Example 1 Header for Simple Print The quotations in the Job Owner and Job Name lines are required. %%OID_ATT_JOB_NAME “Print Job” %!PS %%XRXbegin %%OID_ATT_JOB_OWNER “John Smith” %%OID_ATT_COPY_COUNT 1 %%XRXend Example 2 Header for Proof Print NOTE: This is a proof print job header. This job requests 6 copies.
PostScript Feature Dependencies/Caveats Page 12 • All %% commands (DSC comments) must be in the first 4096 bytes of the job. • When using duplicate commands, the last command takes precedence. Since the setpagedevice commands are normally after the %% commands (DSC comments), the setpagedevice normally takes precedence. • The Document Centre supports PostScript resolutions up to and including 1800 x 1800. Some PostScript jobs may not print if you use this resolution.
PCL This section describes the PCL commands required for specific features. This table lists each feature and the PCL syntax that is required to use the feature. Following this table are examples of how to use these commands and what the PCL file looks like. Refer to these reference materials: PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual, Hewlett-Packard Manual Part Number 5021-0377. NOTE: Throughout this document, refers to the escape key.

NOTE: Use this command in conjunction with the previous and these commands: Front and Back Cover Imaged Enable and Front and Back Cover Media Color.
EURO Font For the DC 555/545/535 the Euro character is provided in all of the standard Latin in the following PCL symbol sets: PCL Symbol Set Symbol Set Code Code Page Euro Sign Character Code Windows 3.1 Latin 1 19U 1252 128 Windows 3.1 Latin 2 9E 1250 128 Windows 3.1 Latin 5 5T 1254 128 You can select these symbol sets as default from the Document Centre Web client and the local user interface. The Euro character is not supported using other symbol sets including “Win 3.
Basic PCL Template This section illustrates a standard PCL template that is used to access general print features as well as Document Centre Product specific features. This template lists each feature and the syntax, both PCL commands and PJL, required to use these features. The next section of this document contains other examples of how to use these commands.
Sample PCL Headers Example 1 Header for Simple Print NOTE: This simple print job header specifies the Job Owner and Job Name and one copy. The quotations in the Job Owner and Job Name lines are required.
PCL Feature Dependencies/Caveats • All PJL commands must be in the first 4096 bytes of the job. • To combine printer escape commands (not including PJL commands): The first two characters after the MUST be the same. All alpha characters MUST be lowercase, except the final terminating character. The commands are read left to right. Combine commands in the order you wish them to execute. For example, combine print 5 copies (&l5X) and use letter size (&l2A) as &l5x2A.
Single Staple Location The following table indicates the location of single staples for different media sizes when using the Document Centre 555/545/535 2000 Sheet Stapler/Stacker (Office Finisher).
PostScript Fonts The following PostScript fonts are resident with the Adobe interpreter.
PCL Fonts The following PCL fonts are resident with the Phoenix interpreter. Each of these commands references a 12-point font. If you wish to use any other point size, change the 12v to the desired size (.25 - 999.75). The commands listed use the default symbol set, Roman-8. To change the symbol set, you include the alternate symbol set after the first and before the second . Use the line printer examples as a reference.
