Accessing Extended Features
Overview
This document describes how to access the extended features of the WorkCentre 57xx Series in environments for which
Xerox does not make a custom driver.
Note: Some of the commands and syntax used in this document requires 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
tables are also included:
features supported by the WorkCentre 57xx Series
commands to use in a PCL print job
2010
commands to use in a PS print job
This document is not intended as a PS or PCL reference manual, but a guide for using the extended features in PS, PCL or
ASCII print jobs.
Using this Guide
1. Refer to the Feature List for the feature you wish to implement. Select the page number to jump to that page.
2. Follow the syntax listed for the command you selected. Read the “Dependencies/Caveats” section. You can access
features using several methods:
PCL or PS commands
PJL SET commands
Xerox specific COMMENT command.
Feature Listing
PCL and ASCII print jobs can use PJL commands or PCL commands to access the attributes of the device. If there is more
than one method listed to access a specific feature, determine the best method for your application and use that method.
PostScript print jobs can use Document Structuring Commands (DSC) or PS commands. If there is more than one method
listed to access a specific feature, determine the best method for your application and use that method.
For this document, both PJL COMMENT and DSC are referred to as Comment commands.

Getting Started
PCL and ASCII print jobs can use PJL commands or PCL commands to access the attributes of the device. If there is more
than one method listed to access a specific feature, determine the best method for your application and use that method.
Comment Commands
To process all PJL COMMENT commands and DSC, enclose them with XRXBegin and XRXEnd commands. The following
example shows a PCL or ASCII print job:
@PJL COMMENT XRXbegin
@PJL COMMENT OID_ATT_START_SHEET OID_VAL_JOB_SHEET_NONE;
@PJL COMMENT XRXend
This example shows a PS print job:
%%XRXbegin
%%OID_ATT_START_SHEET OID_VAL_JOB_SHEET_NONE;
%%XRXend
The first parameter of the command is an attribute followed by a value.
Comment commands must end with a semicolon except for the XRXbegin and XRXend commands.
A comment command not enclosed by XRXbegin and XRXend is NOT a Xerox specific command and is treated as a real
comment with no functional attachment to its contents.
The comment commands are specific to the WorkCentre 57xx Series.
PJL SET Commands
PJL SET commands are available for some features. If you choose to use these commands, do not enclose them with the
XRXBegin and XRXEnd commands.
PJL SET commands do not require a semicolon at the end of the command line.
PCL Commands
PCL commands are available for some features. If you choose to use these commands do not enclose them with the
XRXBegin and XRXEnd commands. Refer to a PCL reference manual for more specific information regarding PCL commands.
PS Commands
PS commands are for some features. If you choose to use these commands, do not enclose them with the XRXBegin and
XRXEnd commands. Refer to a PS reference manual for more specific information regarding PS commands.
