Overview
The Work Station Customization Object (WSCO) is a look up table that the host print transform (HPT) uses to
translate AS400 commands to the equivalent PCL code specific to a printer. For example, the AS400 application
will request printing from drawer 1. To send the correct tray call to the printer, the HPT will look for drawer 1 in
the product specific WSCO linked to that queue for the PCL tray code.
The XTOOLSxxxx library provides a source WSCO for each Xerox device supported.
Note: Throughout this document, XTOOLSxxxx indicates the current WSCO version (xxxx represents the release
number of the library you download).
The library also contains commands that simplify the processes of compiling the WSCO and creating device
descriptions or remote queues. These commands are built upon the standard IBM O/S commands and display
the options that must be entered – they do not present those options that will use default settings.
Audience
This document targets system administrators familiar with the AS/400 environment. A system administrator
should plan to install the WSCO without requiring assistance from Xerox field personnel. The following section
contains support information.
