something similar.  If such a capability is available, the Xerox Nuvera

®

's performance can be significantly 

improved by taking advantage of that.  (Note that the TIFF interpreter does not automatically determine the 
embedded image size and apply it to an appropriate paper size.  You can accomplish though by using 
printer and queue defaults programming) 

The Xerox LCDS Print Description Language (PDL) is a set of commands that you give to the 
printing system to define properties such as the appearance, output destination, and paper feed 
source for your LCDS print job.  You can use LCDS PDL to do all of the following in your print jobs:

 

•  Change and mix font types on a page-to-page, line to line, or character-to-character basis.  This 

allows you to customize printed output for specific needs; for example, emphasizing   important 
headings by changing font styles and sizes.

 

•  Change text orientation and positioning on a page-to-page basis.  This allows you to print 

characters along the width or length of the page with equal ease.  The printing system can  
 switch instantly, at a page boundary, between portrait (tall and narrow) and landscape (wide) 
page formats, combining the two styles within a single report.

 

•  Print a number of previously separate logical pages on the same physical page of a document.

 

•  Modify documents on a page to page basis by using copy modification entries (CME's) to 

replace selected portions of text with other data, change fonts, or label copies, e.g. as 
"confidential."

 

•  Merge variable print data with forms stored on the system disk.  This feature eliminates the 

need for forms overlays and most preprinted forms, as well as assuring perfect registration.

 

•  Print two different forms back to back (duplex) on one sheet of paper, thereby reducing paper 

costs.  Additionally, this option offers potential savings in inventory, filing, storage, and   mailing 
costs for computer generated material.

 

•  Feed paper either short edge first or long edge first to accommodate a variety of paper sizes. 

 

The following are known key limitations specific to LCDS on Nuvera

®

 DPS systems.  A more 

complete set is provided in the Nuvera

®

 Hints and Tips document. 

•  Print on Edge (versus print to edge) is not supported. 
•  There is no floppy drive on Nuvera

; resource loading via LTO Tape or QIC tape is 

recommended.  Alternatively, resources can be sent over the network by ftp to the controller (or 
a UNIX file system) and imported from the file system to DocuSP®.  Importing from a NFS 
mounted directory can also be performed if the resources are already relocated to that directory. 

•  The TMODE command is ignored as the system always performs at optimum throughput.
