the drivers are already at there most recent version. the problem is on the
printer tough. the printer itself gets an error and that makes the drivers
crash. so unfortunately that wont help to much.

I already considered making batches of jobs to send. but the crashing of the
printer inst the only issue with the program (i just left less important once
out to shorten the post). A other problem i had was that when other people
printed documents they got lost in the pile of papers. and it already happened
once that those papers got onto the work floor (witch caused the necessary
panic)

The error on the printer is coused by the speed and ammount of print job is has
to swallow. if i print a file with the same amount of pages its not really a
problem. I already updated the firmware to the newest version and even contacted
Xerox for help. but they said the machines are just not made to handle printer
tasks at the speed i send them.

Now however more users found out of this tool and some are using it for things it isn't really designed for

the loop counts, and it comes up short on jdx, and the idx loops around 8 times.
