New and updated XDPE/400 features
42XX internal interface enhancements
The MRP feature allows you to set the i-data Y36 command through 
XDPE/400. This enhancement applies only to the 42XX i-data interface 
box used with the 4230, 4220, 4219, and 4215 printers.
The Y36 command determines how the interface box handles IBM SCS 
control codes that are sent to it. A value for MRP internal interface (MRP) 
can be entered in both the Monitor Queue and PCL packets. If a value is 
entered for the MRP internal interface (MRP) Monitor Queue parameter, 
that value is used as the default for that Monitor Queue session. If the 
Monitor Queue encounters a PCL packet that contains a value for the 
MRP internal interface parameter other than *NONE, that value overrides 
the MRP parameter value in the Monitor Queue for the duration of the job 
using that PCL packet. When the job has finished processing, XDPE/400 
resets the MRP parameter to the default Monitor Queue value.
For more information about this feature, refer to the i-data Twinax 
XES/PCL Interface Controller for Xerox Printers Programmer’s Guide.
PCL packet enhancements
In addition to enhanced MRP processing, the *COR option was added for 
the Paper Orientation field on the Create Xerox PCL Packets menu. This 
option selects Computer Output Reduction (COR) processing, which 
reduces output by 70 percent to fit on a letter-sized page in landscape 
orientation.
XDPE/400 reduces the logical page size using these processing options:
Substitutes the original fonts with smaller fonts
— 14 pitch for 10 pitch fonts
— 15 pitch for 12 pitch fonts
— 20 pitch for 15 pitch fonts
— 27 pitch for 17 pitch fonts
Reduces the vertical line spacing to 70 percent of the full size
Modifies the top and left margins to 1/2 inch
For more information on the *COR option, refer to the i-data Twinax 
XES/PCL Interface Controller for Xerox Printers Programmer’s Guide.
Network print support
In addition to the implementation of TCP/IP in XDPE/400, you may now 
print documents over the network using TCP/IP and the Host Print 
Transform (HPT) feature.
HPT is an IBM OS/400 utility that converts an EBCDIC SCS data stream 
into an ASCII data stream. XDPE/400 uses HPT internally to transform the 
spool files for use with ASCII printers.
