.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I display
Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.
.TP
.I type
Specifies the type of document. It can be either XPDocRaw or XPDocNormal.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
XpStartDoc signals the beginning of a new print document.

If type is XPDocRaw, then the client will provide all the data for the resulting 
document using XpPutDocumentData; the X Print Server will not write any data 
into the resulting document. Calling XpStartPage in a XPDocRaw document will 
generate an XPBadSequence error. For more information, see XpPutDocumentData.

If type is XPDocNormal, then the X Print Server will generate document data, and 
depending on the DDX driver, can incorporate additional data from 
XpPutDocumentData into the output. For more information, see XpPutDocumentData.

   
All changes to the XPDocAttr attribute pool (see XpSetAttributes) must be made 
prior to calling XpStartDoc, after which an XPBadSequence will be generated if 
changes are attempted, until XpEndDoc is called.

The application is not required to call XpStartDoc and XpEndDoc in the process 
of printing. The "document" delineation may not be useful from the application's 
or spooler's perspective, hence is optional. If XpStartPage is called 
immediately after XpStartJob then a synthetic XpStartDoc with XPDocNormal will 
be assumed by the X Print Server prior to XpStartPage (i.e. the XPStartDocNotify 
and XPStartPageNotify events will have the same sequence number). Likewise, if 
XpEndJob is called immediately after XpEndPage then a synthetic XpEndDoc will be 
assumed by the X Print Server prior to XpEndJob (i.e., the XPEndDocNotify and 
XPEndJobNotify events will have the same sequence number).

For clients selecting XPPrintMask (see XpSelectInput), the event XPPrintNotify 
will be generated with its detail field set to XPStartDocNotify.
.SH STRUCTURES
The XPDocumentType values are defined in <X11/extensions/Print.h>:

.nf

    #define   XPDocNormal     1     /\(** Doc data handled by Xserver*/
    #define   XPDocRaw        2     /\(** Doc data passed through Xserver*/
    
.fi 

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.TP 15
.SM XPBadContext
A valid print context-id has not been set prior to making this call.
.TP 15
.SM XPBadSequence
The function was not called in the proper order with respect to the other X 
Print Service 
Extension calls (example, XpEndDoc prior to XpStartDoc).
.TP 15
.SM BadValue
The value specified for type is not valid.
