LPS FUNDAMENTALS
1 standard. In order to mate Third Party Devices (TPD) to the
4800F printers, a Bypass Transport (or BT) is used.
The BT will perform the following functions:
•
Bring the output paper path down to a height consistent with
Third Party requirements
•
Pass Command signals to the Third Party finishing device.
•
Accept Status signals from the Third Party finishing device.
This feature, Document Feeding and Finishing, also involves
developing the bridge between Segment Management and DFA.
This includes designing and developing the interface between
the Input and Output processing subsystems.
Segment Management
There may be some cases where an entire report cannot be
handled by the third-party finishing equipment. Therefore, the
report must be broken up and delivered in finishing sets, called
segments. A “segment“ is a set of consecutively delivered sheets
whose management as a set or segment has been specified by
PDL or DJDE command.
The new EXPORT statement enables specification in PDL of the
new Segment Management capabilities, including the following:
•
Division of reports into segment
•
Generation of separator sheets
•
Use of segment numbers on separator sheets
•
Use of segment recovery in place of page recovery.
Although the EXPORT command is primarily intended to be used
with the bypass transport, it functions with any allowable
destination. If the OUTPUT command DESTINATION parameter
specifies BIN, segments are offset relative to each other when
delivered, and offsetting resulting from other commands is not
processed.
Increased Graphics
With the introduction of the Shared Disk Interface (SDI), users
wanted to have the capability to print more than 16 graphic
images on a page. The following tasks will be modified to
support this increased in imaging graphic images per page up to
a maximum of 32.
Operator Commands
Several new operator commands were introduced in the V4.0
software, and 4135 V3.6 R1.5. This software release, when
installed on the 4800F printers, is able to process or gracefully
reject these new operator commands.
Any 4135-unique and 97xx-unique commands will be gracefully
rejected when entered on a 4800F printer running V5.0 software
with the following message:
0S1726 This system is not configured for this command.
The new operator command for DFA/Segment Management is:
DALIGN, EDGE, OSTK
