Creating multi-up XES packets
Multi-up packets contain relevant font and positioning information. The
XDPEFLR/XESMUP subdirectory contains a collection of multi-up
packets supplied with XDPE/400. If you do not want to use one of these
default packets, you can create your own using an editor on a personal
computer (PC) or using IBM Source Entry Utility (SEU).
The format of the XES multi-up packet is outlined below and must be
The format of the XES multi-up packet is outlined below and must be

XDPE/400-supplied multi-up packets
The XDPEFLR/XESMUP subfolder contains a set of XDPE/400-supplied
multi-up packets to use with XDPE/400.
Table 25-3 shows the XES multi-up packets distributed with XDPE/400,
Table 25-3 shows the XES multi-up packets distributed with XDPE/400,
and the method of command generation that can be used with them. The
table also shows the maximum print data line length that can be used for
each XES packet. Using a line length greater than the maximum line
lengths specified in the table may result in print data overlapping between
adjoining logical pages. Note that the line lengths include the first
character as a control character.
The 1-, 2-, and 4-up packets can be used for both the Indirect (*INDIRECT
and *COMBINED with *PACKET) and the Direct (*DIRECT and
*COMBINED with *ATTRIB) methods, while the 8-, 16-, 24-, and 33-up
packets can only be used with the Direct method.
