Some of the recent messages detailing Xerox 9700 experience gave the
impression that Xerox was being secretive about the "internal codes"
(metacodes) of the 9700.  That's not really fair--the machine was
designed as a data-processing printer, and the designers probably
never thought that anyone would want to know about or use the metacodes.
Thus, they're somewhat arcane (I've never seen them, of course, but
have heard a great deal about them from the 9700 cognoscenti), and
their misuse can lead to physical problems with paper feeding, etc.

So, don't blame Xerox for not wanting to publicize their internal
codes--at least they release them to people like Unilogic who need to
know.

(Private opinion only, of course.)
