User’s Manual

Units of Measure
This option is equivalent to the Units—1/60 or Units—1/300 XES

commands. It is used to indicate whether measurements within XES

commands in the user’s documents are stated in 1/60-inch units or 1/

300-inch units. The user can choose 60 per inch or 300 per inch. The

default is 300 per inch.
Note: This setting is not related to the setting in Measurement Units for

Entries under the Preferences menu. Measurement Units for Entries is

used only for measurement units entered within XTRAEDIT.

Uppercase Commands
Normally, XES commands are case sensitive, i.e., they must be entered in

upper case or lower case, depending upon the command format. This

option, when set to Active, enables the user to enter all XES commands in

upper case letters. This is the default. When set to Inactive, XES

commands must be entered according to normal XES protocol.

UDK Character
XES commands may begin with the s character, or the user can define a

substitute character with which to begin XES commands. This is useful if

the system is not capable of transmitting the s character. In this dialog

box, enter the character that initiates XES commands in the user’s

documents.
To define the substitute s character, simply type in a printable,

non-alphanumeric character. If the entered character is unacceptable, an

error message will be displayed. The default value is None, which means

that only the s character can be used to begin XES commands.

Job Timeout
The timeout period defined by the user will determine how long the XLI

will wait for data before it assumes a job boundary and ejects the current

page from the printer. The user may enter a value between 2 and 600

seconds.
Note: XLI must have a smaller timeout setting than the timeout setting

for the printer (about two seconds shorter). If the printer times out before

the XLI, in some cases the last page will not be printed correctly.

Job Sheet
The Job Sheet option determines under which conditions the XLI will

print a Configuration/Status Page. The choices are None, Always and all

of the possible combinations of Error, Request and Power Up. The

default for all configurations is Power/Error.
