Finishing

NOTE: Subset finishing can also be performed at the FreeFlow
workstation through the Document Scan and Make Ready
application.

Subset offset (Page Level Jog)

The printer has the ability to offset on a page level. This support
allows VIPP to be utilized for offset type applications. This ability
permits jobs to be sent as one larger file with page level offset
commands.

The term “Jog” is used to initiate offset behavior.

setpagedevice jog 0 (The offset command is “OFF”).

setpagedevice jog 3 (The offset command is “ON”).

A job with a multiple copy count with a “jog 3” should force offsets
between each distinct set. A job with a copy count of 1 can contain
“jog 0” or “jog 3” on a page by page basis. The system will
alternate offsets between each alternating jog 3 and jog 0
command.

The following information should be considered when using the
“Jog” command:

The first jog command on a page will be honored and all
others will be ignored.

Multiple cases of jog 3 without the corresponding job 0’s will be
ignored.

The Printer Manager’s setting of offset “ON” or “OFF” should
not impact the action of the PDL level jog commands. For
example, if the Printer Manager’s offset is set to “OFF” and a
job has a jog 3, then the sets should be offset from one
another.

The DT/DP 75/90 allows subset offsets to the top tray.
However, the 61xx is not mechanically capable of jogging to
the top tray.

PCL offset/separator/subset finishing command

The use of the PCL separator command, <ESC>&l1T, in
combination with Xerox FreeFlow

®

Print Server queue defaults,

enables subset finishing for PCL jobs. The PCL separator
command defines offset segments of a job. PCL does not
commonly support finishing. However, the use of the PCL
separator command allows offset segments of a job to be finished
based on the finishing default set on the queue. For example, if
the queue default is portrait stitch, all segments of a job where the
PCL separator command has been used will be stitched.

The placement guidelines are as follows:
