Jog command not working with HP printers 1

[bbonn]

Hi there,

Does anyone have experience with the jog command on Hp printers , specificaly the HP9000. I have a file that is jogging fine on Xerox large production printers but not on our HP9000s (also production, only smaller) Any ideas??
I really apreciate any info,Thanks!

Here is a sample of the code:
%%Page: 0 1
%%BeginPageSetup
<<
/MediaType null
/Jog 3
>>setpagedevice


This is toggled with:

%%Page: 0 1
%%BeginPageSetup
<<
/MediaType null
/Jog 0
>>setpagedevice

PostScript code for finishing options are specific each particular printer model. So while the /Jog 3 - /Jog 0 works on the Xerox DocuSP, it may not on other printers, i.e. the HP 9000.

Unfortunately I do not have access to the HP 9000 PostScript documentation, so I can not say what its capabilities are for jogging.

Try to locate the HP 9000's documentation and find the section describing PostScript commands. This should indicate what PostScript commands can be used for jogging on that printer.

Some printers will only jog if the output is sent to an add-on stacker/finisher. In that case, the printer may not be able to subset jog (i.e. jog within a single job), but can only jog between jobs.

Of course the worst case is that the printer cannot jog at all (but I assume you have some information about the HP 9000 that leads you to believe it can jog).
