PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS

XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCE

6-39

The height of the last font used determines the initial base line
of that first print line.

The FONTINDEX byte, if selected, is processed for every
record, DJDEs, RPAGE, and all criteria records. A valid
FONTINDEX byte should be present in all records since it
controls line spacing and override line spacing at page
transitions.

Font index bytes

It is advisable to put the font index byte in the beginning of a
variable record to conserve tape space. The byte must be
present in every record.

If the offset to the font index value exceeds the logical record
size, the first font in the font list is used, except when
HOST=UNIVAC is specified. If HOST=UNIVAC is specified, the
byte located at the specified font index offset is processed. The
font index byte must be located at the beginning of the record if
Univac Fieldata and ASCII records are intermixed within the
file.

Print line data

When changing the print line data to a value greater than the
default value (150), the LENGTH parameter of the RECORD
command must also be changed accordingly. (Refer to the
“RECORD command” section of the chapter “Specifying input
parameters.”)

PCCTYPE

The PCCTYPE=IBM3211/IBM4245 is not intended to be used
when processing offline jobs. Checks that the LPS online
interface performs, such as for bad or NO-OP parameters, are
not done in the offline mode. There is no check for bad or NO-
OP parameters, and they are treated as undefined carriage
control parameters in the offline mode and default to the
carriage control parameter of print-and-space-1-line.
