Xerox XDPE/400 (also known as EOMS I-Services) Support & Software User Guide

XES forms are indexed by XDPE/400 and your XES printer to allow the 

use of multiple forms during a job. How forms are indexed can determine 

how they are placed in a job. The logical processing feature of XDPE/400 

allows you to control when and where a printer control packet is applied 

using the When to apply (WHEN) parameter. This parameter also affects 

the indexing and placement of forms:
•

An XES form applied as part of an XES packet or from printer file 

parameters is assigned an index number of “1”. A form applied to the 

top of a page (*TOP) by a logical processing test also assumes the 

index number of “1” and replaces any previous form with an index of 

“1”.

•

A form applied at the bottom of a page (*BOTTOM) by a logical 

processing test assumes an index number of “2” and will be placed 

on the next page regardless of any other forms that may already be 

placed on that page.

For more information about form indexing on XES printers, see the 

documentation supplied with your XES printer.

When you specify logical processing, every print line on every page that 

is specified in a logical processing test is tested until a true test condition 

is met. This can consume greater than normal amounts of processor time. 

By restricting the amount of data in the test range by using the Test 

position, Test page range, and Line range parameters, processing time 

can be greatly reduced. Full pages that are outside the test range are 

skipped without being tested. Data in partially-skipped pages is skipped 

on a character-by-character basis.
