Page 9: Overview
1. Overview the 4850 and 4890 highlight color laser printing systems (lps) provide the capability to create electronic forms using a variety of colors, shades, and tints. This feature supports the centralized printing and publishing markets in creating highlight color printing applications. The term...
Page 11: Basic Concepts
2. Basic concepts certain basic concepts are required to understand the forms creation process on laser printing systems. These involve the size, shape, and location of the overall image on the page of a document, the orientation of the text or graphics on the page, the size and style of the charact...
Page 12
Basic concepts fonts fonts are character sets, each having a unique type style, type size, and orientation. Fixed and proportionally spaced fonts are available for use on laser printing systems. Each character occupies an area on the form called a character cell. With fixed fonts, all character cell...
Page 13
Basic concepts font orientation, as shown in figure 2-4, is relative to the physical page. Figure 2-4. Font orientation even though type style and size are the same, four different fonts are used, each with a unique orientation. The inverse portrait font could be used for certain types of titles or ...
Page 14
Basic concepts physical page the paper upon which a form is printed is the “physical page.” the default paper size used on an lps is defined during system generation (sysgen). The following paper sizes may be specified: • 8.5 by 11 inches (usletter) • 8.5 by 14 inches (uslegal) • 8.27 by 11.69 inche...

Basic concepts figure 2-5. Virtual page origin form origin all forms data described by fdl commands is positioned relative to a point called the “form origin” (figure 2-6). This point is offset from the virtual page corner by horizontal and vertical displacement values, which you specify using the g...
Page 16
Basic concepts positioning form elements elements you can place on a form using fdl commands are as follows: • lines • boxes • fixed text • logos and signatures • images • sections. All of these elements are located in relation to the form origin at the upper left corner of the form. Each form eleme...
Page 17
Basic concepts grids the location of a form element on a page is specified in terms of its horizontal and vertical displacement from the form origin. The units of measurement used to define this displacement can be any of the following: • linear units—inches or centimeters • dots—300 per inch • cpi ...
Page 18
Basic concepts negative coordinates negative x and y values also may be used to place form elements above and to the left of the form origin, as long as the values are within system page boundaries. Unit value the unit value of the grid command specifies the unit of measurement fdl commands use to p...

The next step is to compile the file and print a copy of the form. Form printing process to print an electronic form on a xerox laser printing ...

If you do not include the word tr...
Page 29: Forms Layout Considerations
5. Forms layout considerations physical printer constraints and forms compiler methods are factors that can affect form design. This chapter explores the implications of these factors relative to the following: • image complexity • boxes • shading • sections • rounding measurements • coding techniqu...

Forms layout considerations importance of orderly construction one consideration in determining the orderliness of form construction is that the algorithm used in loading the line table is designed to check only two criteria before entering a new line in the line table. These criteria are: • is the ...

Forms layout considerations these two examples of awkwardly entering lines into the line table result in lines that are visually contiguous but not logically contiguous. As indicated in the subsequent sections that describe problems with boxes, such conditions can result in a situation where fdl is ...

(an active character includes all the space from the top of the character cell to the bottom of the character cell, even if there is only white space present on a given scan line.) if the dimension along the scan ...

Forms layout considerations page generation errors generally, a form is imaged along with variable data. It is possible to create a form that prints correctly when sampled but cannot be successfully overlaid on certain variable data pages. The lps may not have enough time to merge a complex form wit...

Forms layout considerations summary optimize form generation in the following manner: • use lines and boxes rather than characters of the form element font, whenever possible. • avoid placing too many small characters in one area of the page. • avoid overlapping (superimposing) lines or boxes. • avo...

Forms layout considerations correcting text-in-box errors if an error is detected, you have the following choices: • make the box larger. • reduce the number of lines. • use a smaller font. • if text visually fits, use a text at command rather than a text in box command. Centering text in boxes fdl ...

Forms layout considerations rounding measurements laser printing systems use only dot units in the actual performance of forms compilation. Therefore, as long as all positioning commands within fdl are defined in terms of dots or an integral number of dots, there are no rounding problems. Converting...

Forms layout considerations rounding variable data alignment problems under certain circumstances, a form and variable data do not align properly, even though it appears that both use the same line spacing. When this happens, it may be the result of the effects of rounding on the line spacing. As an...
