USER CONSIDERATIONS
Reasons to use XMP
Use XMP to optimize printer performance in regard to the
following factors:
•
Throughput. The time required to change modes is
approximately 15 seconds. Throughput is reduced by
frequent mode changing. It is at a maximum when the
printer is operating continuously in a single mode.
•
Dry ink consumption. When printing jobs requiring only
black inks in the highlight color mode, some non-imaged
color dry ink is consumed. Printing black-only pages in black
mode reduces color dry ink consumption.
•
Print consistency. Both highlight color and black modes
render high-quality black printing, but there are minor
differences in print appearance between modes.
Applications requiring high uniformity of appearance should
not switch modes within a report.
The default XMP setting
XMP can be set using the sysgen XMP commands. The XMP
parameter set during sysgen becomes the default setting.
Modifying XMP on a job-by-job basis
At times you may want to override the default XMP setting to
control mode switching on a report-by-report or copy-by-copy
basis. For example, if the default setting would result in a mode
switch during a job that requires a uniform appearance, you can
override the default setting and keep the mode consistent during
that report. This can be done by changing the XMP setting for a
particular report using the PDL OUTPUT XMP statement. You
can also change the XMP setting for individual copies of a report
by using the XMP parameter in a DJDE. For further information
