Xerox jobs use other types of resources, such as job descriptor libraries (JDLs) and page descriptor entries (PDEs). These resources control the data stream characteristics and the printing environment. When Infoprint XT loads these Xerox resources, the load process does not produce any corresponding AFP resources. Instead, the Infoprint XT resource utility stores output formatting information from the resources in metrics files. When you process a job that uses these resources, Infoprint XT uses the formatting information to create a unique AFP form definition for the job. The form definition specifies information such as whether the job requires duplexed printing, and which printer bins to use.

This list describes the non-printable Xerox resources that Infoprint XT processes and uses:

Cluster Library (LIB)

Defines clusters, or groups of printer trays.

Copy Modification Entry (CME)

Defines changes to the printing characteristics of a job on a copy-by-copy basis.

Ink Descriptor Entry (IDR)

Specifies default ink catalogs, palettes and colors.

Job Descriptor Library (JDL)

Contains a collection of compiled job descriptor entries (JDEs), which define the unique characteristics of one or more Xerox jobs.

Page Descriptor Entry (PDE)

Contains a set of statements that define formatting information for each page of a job. This includes information such as the page orientation, the starting print line, and the fonts that the page uses.

Routing Text (TST)

Contains information that is specific to separator sheets, which precede individual Xerox reports.

Stocksets (STK)

Defines the types of paper that the job requires and associates them with the clusters of printer trays, as defined by clustr.lib.
