I've got a file that contains several books and I want to have the document stacker offset them, but they are different numbers of pages. My Xerox 6180 allows stacking based on a certain number of pages, but I want to control it in postscript. There doesn't seem to be any reference to it in the PPD. Does anyone out there know if this is possible?
 
This kind of device control really can't be done universally in PostScript. PostScript, remember, is device-independent.

For the 6180, you need to look at the %%XRX Xerox Job Control commenting system. The RIP (or DigiPath if you use that workflow) processes these comments as a job ticket.

These are just comments that you can put in your PostScript programs, but the RIP "pre-processes" them.
