PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS6-104 XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PDL REFERENCEPoints to noteNote the following when using the PDE command:• The maximum number of fonts that may be used in printing agiven page or a given job varies depending on a number offactors. For both the input and output tasks, the number of fontsspecified in the FONTS parameter must be at least equal to thelargest number of fonts required to print any page within the job.Particularly for the input task, the limitations of dynamicallyallocated memory, (that is, when input is unable to receive anallocation of dynamic memory, the job is aborted), imposeadditional constraints which effectively reduce the maximumnumber of fonts that may be used to print a page. The numberof fonts specified in the FONTS parameter is used to determinethe size of a dynamically allocated table where informationabout the fonts is cached.If the patch to enable the use of Merganthaler fonts is selectedwhen the LPS is sysgened, the use of dynamic memory forfonts increases significantly since a proportionally spaced fontrequires an additional 120-260 bytes of dynamic memory.The maximum block length for an offline job can be a size suchthat the allocation of one input buffer or two of equal size cancause dynamic memory allocation problems when used inconjunction with a large PDE FONTS parameter and withMerganthaler fonts enabled.• An xdot is 1/600 unit of measurement. A form specifying xdots,however, can be created, edited, and compiled on any LPS withversion 3 software, but the form, which is 600 spots per inch(spi), does not print on your 4050, 4090, 4635, or DocuPrint 180which accepts only 300 spi.
