Output process actions

The following folders contain actions that you can use in an output process. Configure actions provides more information on actions.

Action type Description
Append Adds data to the end of the document. The data can be a set of bytes, a string, a text resource, a binary resource, or a banner resource.
Code page Changes the encoding of a document from one code page to another.
DCO Allows for record format changes.
Hex Table Allows single or multiple byte substitutions.
Package Management Configures actions to define or manipulate package contents.
Post Processing Actions Configures actions to be performed at the end of the output processing.
Prepend Adds data to the beginning of the document. The data can be a set of bytes, a string, a text resource, a binary resource, an Output Manager job Ticket, or a banner resource.
Print Preferences Modifies the document properties or other attributes of the document to align with what the target printer needs for the specific document type.
Search/Replace Enables bytes or strings to be searched and then replaced. The data being replaced can be a set of bytes, a string, a text resource, a binary resource, or a banner resource.
Transform Modify the document data before the document is routed to the destination. The EPS, EPS Advanced, and EPS Adv W/ Banners actions are used for converting LCDS documents for use with a Xerox EPS controller. The Advanced Document Modification action allows repurposing of documents.

Post Processing Actions

Configures actions to be performed at the end of the output processing.

  • Call Method — To select a method from a DLL file to be called after the document has been transferred to its destination. This is limited to calling only public methods or instantiating public objects from the DLL which have no parameters or only basic parameters.
  • Email — To send an email after the document has been transferred to its destination.
  • Run command — To configure a script to run after the document has been sent to its destination.

Prepend

  • Prepend banner — Add a banner resource to the beginning of a document.
  • Prepend binary — Add a binary resource to the beginning of the document.
  • Prepend bytes — Add a byte resource to the beginning of the document.
  • Prepend OM Ticket — Add an Output Manager ticket to the beginning of the document.
  • Prepend string — Add a text string to the beginning of the document.
  • Prepend text — Add a text resource to the beginning of the document.

Print Preferences

Modifies the document properties or other attributes of the document to align with what the target printer needs for the specific document type.

  • Apply print preferences — Modifies the document properties or other attributes of the document to align with what the target printer needs for the specific document type.
  • Set Document Properties — Set specific values in selected document properties.

Search/Replace

Enables bytes or strings to be searched and then replaced. The data being replaced can be a set of bytes, a string, a text resource, a binary resource, or a banner resource.

  • S/R binary — Search for and replace binary resources.
  • S/R bytes — Search for and replace bytes.
  • S/R bytes to banner — Search for bytes and replace with a banner resource.
  • S/R bytes to binary — Search for a byte and replace with a binary resource.
  • S/R bytes to string — Search for a byte and replace with a text string.
  • S/R bytes to text — Search for a byte and replace with a text resource.
  • S/R string to banner — Search for a text string and replace with a banner resource.
  • S/R string to binary — Search for a text string and replace with a binary resource.
  • S/R string to text — Search for a text string and replace with a text resource.
  • S/R strings — Search for and replace text strings.

Transform

Modify the document data before the document is routed to the destination. The EPS, EPS Advanced, and EPS Adv W/ Banners actions are used for converting LCDS documents for use with a Xerox EPS controller. The Advanced Document Modification action allows repurposing of documents.

  • Adept Transform — Convert Xrx or Afp type documents to PCL5, PDF, or PS.
  • Advanced Document Modification — Use the Advanced Document Modification (ADM) action to run the ADM process.

    ADM is a process where each page of the document is read, portions of the document can be changed, or values extracted, and then the page is written. Documents can be reordered, split, transformed to a different data type, bar codes added, OMR marks added, and logos changed using ADM.

  • EPS — Convert LCDS documents for use with a Xerox EPS controller.
  • EPS Adv W/Banners — Convert LCDS documents for use with a Xerox EPS controller and to add banners or trailers to the output.
  • EPS Advanced — Convert LCDS documents for use with a Xerox EPS controller.
  • Make Copies of Document — Direct the output process to write the data stream multiple times while sending to the destination.
  • Page Range Via Transform — Use a transform to print a specific page range.
  • Transform — Transform the format of the document to a new format or to another data type.
  • Transform Office Files — Transform Microsoft Office documents to PDF documents.
  • Transform W/Banners — Transform the format of the document to a new format or to another data type.
  • Zip Document — Create a zip file from the document to be sent to the destination.
