Job collate

Syntax

XPath: /JDF/ResourcePool/DigitalPrintingParams/@Collate

Type

Enumeration

Supported range

@Collate

Description

None

The job is not collated. The job is sorted by page.

Sheet

The job is collated. The job is sorted by set.

Example

A job consists of three pages 1, 2, 3. Three sets of the job are printed. The pages are sorted as follows:

@Collate="None" : 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3

@Collate="Sheet" : 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

Covers

Syntax

/JDF/Comment[@Name="oce:Covers"]/

Type

Text element

Supported range

Comment[@Name="oce:Covers"]

Description

Front

The job contains an Océ front cover

Back

The job contains an Océ back cover

FrontBack

The job contains both an Océ front cover and an Océ back cover

None (default)

The job does not contain an Océ cover

Description

The Océ covers setting specifies that the described job has Océ covers. An Océ cover is a page that can be put in front or at the back of a job. An Océ cover page can be printed. The printer uses the cover information to indicate the operator that the media and plexity of the front / back pages are chosen on purpose for covers.

1-sided/2-sided including tumbling

Syntax

XPath: /JDF/ResourcePool/LayoutPreparationParams/@Sides

NOTE

It is recommended to use @Sides to define 1-sided/2-sided in combination with @BindingEdge to define the binding edge. When @Sides and @BindingEdge are used, the "FlipX / FlipY" as part of @Sides is ignored. Only 1-sided/2-sided of @Sides and the binding edge of @BindingEdge are taken into account.

For example, "@Sides = OneSidedBackFlipY" and "@BindingEdge = Left". Result: 1-sided with content on the back and binding edge is left. The "FlipY" part of value "OneSidedBackFlipY" is ignored.

When partitioned

/JDF/ResourcePool/LayoutPreparationParams[@PartIDKeys="RunIndex"]/LayoutPreparationParams[@RunIndex="…"]/@Sides

Type

Enumeration

Supported range

OneSidedFront (1-sided, content on front) (default)

OneSidedBackFlipX (1-sided, content on back, flip over X-axis)

OneSidedBackFlipY (1-sided, content on back, flip over Y-axis)

TwoSidedFlipX (2-sided, content on front and back, flip over X-axis)

TwoSidedFlipY (2-sided, content on front and back, flip over Y-axis)

Description

1-sided and 2-sided including tumble are specified on job level with attribute //LayoutPreparationParams/@Sides.

X and Y refer to the JDF coordinate system of the media, not the content. Media dimensions are defined using X and Y:

  • FlipX means that the sheet tumbles over the X-axis as defined using "Media Definition"

  • FlipY means that the sheet tumbles over the Y-axis as defined using "Media Definition"

See “Media Dimension” for details on X and Y.

1-sided and 2-sided including tumbling are specified on page level using portioning.

Binding edge

Syntax

XPath: /JDF/ResourcePool/LayoutPreparationParams/@BindingEdge

When partitioned

XPath: /JDF/ResourcePool/LayoutPreparationParams[@PartIDKeys="RunIndex"]/LayoutPreparationParams[@RunIndex="…"]/@BindingEdge

Type

Enumeration

Supported values

@BindingEdge

Tumbling

Left (default)

Flip along left edge

Right

Flip along right edge

Top

Flip along top edge

Bottom

Flip along bottom edge

Description

This setting specifies the binding edge of the document.

"Left | Right | Top | Bottom" are relative to the page orientation of the content. Media dimensions as defined using X and Y is not taken into account by @BindingEdge.

For example, when the page orientation of the content is "Landscape A4" and @BindingEdge is "Top", the long edge of the paper is the binding edge.

NOTE

It is recommended to use @Sides to define 1-sided/2-sided in combination with @BindingEdge to define the binding edge. When @Sides and @BindingEdge are used, the "FlipX / FlipY" as part of @Sides is ignored. Only 1-sided/2-sided of @Sides and the binding edge of @BindingEdge are taken into account.

For example, "@Sides = OneSidedBackFlipY" and "@BindingEdge = Left". Result: 1-sided with content on the back and binding edge is left. The "FlipY" part of value "OneSidedBackFlipY" is ignored.

Remark

This setting is only supported for the PDF data path.

Page delivery

Syntax

//DigitalPrintingParams/@PageDelivery

Type

Enumeration

Supported range

@PageDelivery

Description

SameOrderFaceUp

Default. Order defined by the RunList with the Front sides of the media up and the first sheet on top.

SameOrderFaceDown

Order defined by the RunList with the Front sides of the media down and the first sheet on the bottom.

ReverseOrderFaceUp

Sheet order reversed with the Front sides of the media up and the first sheet on the bottom.

ReverseOrderFaceDown

Sheet order reversed with the Front sides of the media down and the first sheet on top.

Description

When you use the output as inserts in a printer, that requires a specific order in the insert tray, changing the page delivery (facing) is necessary. Sheet order specifies if the first or last sheet must be printed first. For example, this is needed when the output is deposited face up.
