PCL 5XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO USING PAGE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGES 1-9• Use DocuPrint NPS facilities for offsetting at the print job level.Do not rely on the use of the Job Separation command at theend of every PCL job. Although this is the HP recommendation,a consistent offsetting of print jobs cannot be guaranteed. Forexample, actions such as resetting the HP LaserJet IIISi at theprinter change the output tray offset. The printer does not keeptrack of the offset tray position under all conditions.• The Job Separation command can be used within a print job tooffset sections of the print job. (This feature is sometimesreferred to as creating report offsets within a print job.) Therecommended job structure is to insert PCL commands beforethe section that should be offset.The sequence of PCL commands is a Printer Reset command,other PCL setup commands, and the Job Separation command.This PCL setup produces consistent results on the HP LaserJetIIISi and the Xerox DocuPrint NPS.• Do not place the Job Separation command at the end of a pagethat starts a section with a new output tray offset. There aresignificantly different results when printing the same print job onthe HP LaserJet IIISi and the Xerox DocuPrint NPS.• Use a PCL copy count of 1 (one).Inconsistent offsetting takes place when multiple copies arespecified. Sheets in the printer output are not stacked with thedesired offset.PCL media selectionThere are three ways to specify media for a given page. You can usethe PCL Page Size command (&l#A), the PCL Paper Sourcecommand, or you can use the DocuPrint NPS ExceptionPagesattribute.PCL Paper Source command (tray assignment)PCL uses the Paper Source command (&l#H) to specify thetray definition (# is a number from 0-6).0=don’t change paper source1=feed paper from printer specific tray2=feed paper from manual input3=feed envelope from manual input4=feed paper from lower tray5=feed paper from optional paper source6=feed paper from optional envelopeNote: These are the documented values of HP printers. However,the DocuPrint NPS changes paper by media definition and not bytray definition.
