Accessing Extended Features
Overview
This document enables you to access the extended features of the Document Centre in
environments that do not have a custom driver. This includes the following environments:
• Custom DOS packages
• Other platforms (including mainframes and minis)
NOTE: Some of the commands and syntax used in this document requires some familiarity
with either PostScript (PS) or Printer Command Language (PCL).
This document provides the Printer Description Language (PDL) commands and syntax for
each feature. The following items are also included:
• A table that describes features supported by the Document Centre.
• A PostScript table that describes the PostScript features the Document Centre supports
and the syntax to use the feature.
• A PCL table that describes the PCL features the Document Centre supports and the
syntax to use the feature.
This document is not intended to be a complete PS or PCL reference manual; it is a guide

for using the PS and PCL commands with the Document Centre.
Refer to these additional reference materials PostScript Language Reference Manual, Third
Edition, ISBN 0-201-37922-8 and PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual,
Hewlett-Packard Manual Part Number 5021-0377.
Using this Guide
1. Search the Feature Table to determine whether the feature you wish to use is
supported.
2. Verify that the feature is supported by the platform. For example, the Document Centre
must have the Finisher option installed to use stapling commands.
3. Follow across the table to find the syntax listed for the PDL examples shown. Read the
Dependencies/Caveats section.
NOTE:
The Secure Print
feature is not
referenced in this
document. This
feature requires the
encryption scheme
that encodes the
secure print password
and is Xerox Private
Data.

To print landscape, use the Media Size
command with height and width reversed. For
example:
[792 612] = Letter, landscape
[842 595] = A4, landscape
For landscape documents printed on 11 x 17",
8.5 x13", 8.5 x 14" or A3, apply a 180° rotation to
landscape pages to ensure the correct location of
stapling or punching.
Use the PostScript command: "0 0 moveto 180
rotate -height -width translate" which should
appear after any "setpagedevice" commands.
The following example, for an A3 landscape page
illustrates this syntax.
<</PageSize [1191 843]>> setpagedevice
…any other "setpagedevice" commands.
0 0 moveto 180 rotate -1191 -842 translate

EURO Font
The Euro character is provided in all standard Latin fonts (letter fonts such as Helvetica and
Times) and the Symbol font included with the Adobe PostScript 3 interpreter. Special fonts
such as ZapfDingbats do not contain the Euro symbol. Although the Euro character’s “glyph”
is added to the PostScript fonts, standard font encoding (that is, the character set) does not
include the character.
To access the Euro character’s glyph directly, use the “glyphshow” command as shown in
the following example:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
/Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont
