PDL principles and procedures

1-50

Using LCDS Print Description Language

1. Identify the source media and data format.

2. Design the layout of your print job.

3. Build forms for the job, if necessary.

4. Identify logical processing requirements.

5. Determine whether you will use catalogs.

Short JSL coding procedure

The fastest and easiest way to create a JSL is to build it from an 
existing one, such as the default JSL (named DFAULT.JSL), 
provided with your system software. The following steps 
describe how to create a JSL “the short way.”

1. Open a Text Editor window by following these steps:

a. On the controller screen, right-click in the background to 

display the Workspace menu.   

b. From the Workspace menu, select [Programs]. The 

Programs pull-down menu opens beside the Workspace 
menu.
