Accessing Extended Features

Overview

This document enables you to access the extended features of the Xerox 4127/4112
and in environments that do not have a custom driver.

NOTE: Some of the commands and syntax used in this documents 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 inclu ded:

・ A PostScript tables that describes the PostScript features the Xerox 4127/4110

supports and the syntax to use the feature.

・ A PCL tables that describes the PCL features the Xerox 4127/4110 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 wi th Xerox 4127/4110.
Refer to these additional reference materials PostScript Language Reference Manual,
Third Edition, ISBN 0-201-38922-8, PCL5 Printer Language Technical Reference
Manual, Hewlett-Packard Manual and Printer Job Language Technical Reference
Manual, Hewlett-Packard Manual.

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 Xerox
4127/4110 must have the Finisher option installed to use stapling commands.

3. Following across the table to find the syntax listed for the PDL examples shown.
Read the Dependencies/Caveats section.

PostScript

This Xerox 4127/4110 supports PS3 commands that enable the features listed in the
following table.

Feature Description

Media Size This command specifies the size of media on which to

print the job.

Media Direction This command specifies the edge of the input medium

that will enter the printing engine or imager first and
across which data will be imaged. Values reflect
positions relative to a canonical page in portrait
orientation (width smaller than height):

Media Source This command specifies the tray to supply the job’s

media.

Media Source from
Bypass tray

Media Color Use this command to indicate the color of the media

Media Weight
Media Class Paper class (ex. normal, thick, recycled)
Media Type Media types are used to distinguish the type of media a

Media Selection Specify if you apply the strict setpagedevice rule to

Resolution This command sets the resolution value.
Duplex

Tumble

Image Enhancement
Toner Save
Halftone Screen

Selection

This command indicates whether the input medium is to
be fed from bypass tray.

media selection.

Delivers two-sided output. Landscape documents read
like a calendar, and Portrait documents read like a book.
Deliver two-sided output. (Use combine with Duplex)
Landscape documents read like a book and Portrait
documents read like a calendar.
Specify whether you apply edge-smoothing to output
after rendering
Use this command to control toner consumption when
printing.
This command specifies the screen type.

Output Location Indicates the output bin where the print job is sent.
Copies The number of copies to produce, either of each page

individually or of the document as a whole, depending
on the value of the Collate parameter.

Collation A flag specifying how the output is to b e or ga n iz e d when

multiple copies are requested for a multiple-page

Feature Description

document. Output consists of page sets that are
delivered together. If Collate is true, a page set consists
of one copy of all pages of the document; if it is false, a
page set consists of all copies of one page of the
document.

Offset This feature provides a physical offset of hard copy that

distinguishes between sets or stacks within a job.
Stapling This command indicates use and location of staple(s).
Punch This command indicates hole punches for a print job on

a device with hole punch capability.
Booklet This command enables you to print documents as small

booklets. If available on your printer, you can also have

your job folded or stapled.
Interleaving Paper

Insert blank sheet between OHP sheets.
(Transparency

Separator)
Process Color Model Select process color model (DeviceGray, DeviceRGB,

DeviceCMYK,,,)
Separations

Specify whether multiple color separations are

generated for each page of output.
Separation Color

Specify the process colorant name.
Names
Separation Order Specify the order of process colorant name.

Use CIE Color Specify if you apply CIE-based color space through

color conversion

PostScript Implementation

This section describes the PostScript commands required to access specific Xerox
4127/4110 features. This table lists each feature and the PostScript syntax that is
required to use the feature. Following this table are some examples of how to use
these commands and what the PostScript file looks like.

For more information about PostScript commands, refer to the PostScript Language
Reference Manual, Third Edition, and ISBN 0-201-37992-8.
