25-5
Multi-up printing
Case 5
If the global value JDE/PDE name creation mode is *AUTO, refer to table
25-2 for the PAGRTT or MULTIUP values and the corresponding
PDE/JDE DJDE name used. (In the table, xxx represents the contents of
the page width field of the spool file attributes.)
NOTE: When a true case is found, the JDE/PDE or PMODE
processing is done for that job.
XES multi-up generation
There are two methods for XES multi-up printing in XDPE/400:
•
•
Indirect method (1, 2, and 4 pages per side)
•
Direct method (up to 32,767 pages per side)
For the indirect method, XDPE/400 uses the Degree of page rotation
(PAGRTT) and Pages per side (MULTIUP) printer file parameters to
determine the format for the spool file being processed. MULTIUP
determines the number of logical pages printed on each physical page,
either 1, 2, or 4. PAGRTT specifies the orientation of the print data on the
page. XDPE/400 then retrieves the appropriate multi-up packet to
determine the format of the logical page. This table lists the orientation
produced by the PAGRTT value.
NOTE: The multi-up packets supplied with XDPE/400 support
landscape and portrait orientations only. For applications using
inverse orientation, you must create your own multi-up packets.
In the direct method, XDPE/400 uses the Number of pages per side
(PAGESPSIDE) XES packet parameter and the Degree of page rotation
(PAGRTT) printer file parameter to determine the orientation and number
of logical pages per side. The Multi-up packet name (XESMUP) XES
packet parameter determines the multi-up packet used to create the
format of the logical page.
