DJDE Print Streams

Xerox DJDE data is a special record which is placed within existing line data printer files to add special Xerox print features. These records contain Dynamic Job Descriptor Entries (DJDEs). DJDEs simply instruct the printer to perform a function. These commands are not printed.

Records containing DJDEs are identified to the printer by specifying a special character sequence in a specific range of columns. In the following example, the characters #+#+DJDE are used in columns 3 through 10 to indicate a DJDE record.

  #+#+DJDE ASSIGN=(1,3);
  #+#+DJDE ASSIGN=(2,11);
  #+#+DJDE ASSIGN=(6,23);
  #+#+DJDE ASSIGN=(7,73);
  #+#+DJDE ASSIGN=(8,80);
  #+#+DJDE BEGIN=(9.0,0.4);
  #+#+DJDE BEGIN=(.3,0);
  #+#+DJDE FORMAT=P0635;
  #+#+DJDE MARGIN=(.05,IN);
