Line Conditioned Data Streams (LCDS) and Dynamic Job Descriptor Entry (DJDE) are production printer languages developed by Xerox Corporation primarily to map data to forms. It combines print data stream specification, variable data printing and forms development. The output is targeted at Xerox laser printers. Resources, including forms, fonts, graphics and logos were developed with a variety of tools provided by many different companies. These were stored at the printer. When the print data stream was sent from the host to the printer, commands in the data stream referenced resources stored at the printer. The printers were generally directly connected to the host computer usually via Channel.
HostServe" takes LCDS printers data to any network printer, e-mail, fax server, or content management system.

LCDS DJDE Format Metacode print streams either contain or allow the following:
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
Description of the input (type, format, characteristics)
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Definition of processing functions (logical processing) |
|
| |
Description of the output (type, format, font selection, primary color selection, accounting options).
Unfortunately, LCDS printers and DJDE format metacode printers are expensive and difficult to maintain. HostServe™ allows mainframe document programmers to use a language with which they are familiar and allows existing applications to continue to print without modification while allowing you to print these jobs on more modern and less expensive printers and, perhaps more importantly, to distribute and archive documents electronically rather than in printed form. HostServe™ fully supports all LCDS DJDE Format Metacode commands as well as all JSL commands.
