Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS user considerations
This section describes Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS user considerations.
Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS edgemarking
To ensure consistency across all Xerox LPS printers, the coordinate system used by all printers is identical. However, the area upon which an actual image may appear is limited. Because of this, data which starts near the edge of or off of the physical page may be lost.
Edgemarking is the placement of marks at or near the edge of the physical page. To accommodate edgemarking, the system page must be larger than the physical page.
The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS edgemarking capability could be limited if the system page boundaries correspond to the sides of the physical page of paper.
If any part of a form element or variable data line is positioned off the leading edge of the system page (that is, the top edge of a

If a line of variable text begins off the leading edge of the system page, the entire line of text is not printed.
If a ruled line begins off the leading edge of the system page, the entire ruled line is not printed.
A line running parallel to the leading edge needs to be positioned at least half the line thickness inside the leading edge of the system page in order to be printed. For example, a bold line is 8 dots thick and it must, therefore, be positioned at least 4 dots inside the leading edge of the system page.
If any part of a signature or logo begins off the leading edge of the system page, the entire signature or logo is not printed.
One common cause of print elements accidentally beginning off the system page is the improper use of the OUTPUT SHIFT command. This command is used to shift the entire contents of a page relative to the boundaries of the system page. When a negative shift value is entered (as is often the case for the back side of duplex pages), and that value exceeds the left margin, no text elements will print. When using a negative value for the OUTPUT SHIFT command, be sure that it is less than the value of the left margin.
