Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering forms

6.9.1Adding a form

Under Xprint V7.0 you can define any number of forms. There are two possible ways of defining forms: you can either define a new form from scratch or you can copy an existing form and modify it.

Defining a new form from scratch

●If you want to define a default font for the form, check first whether this font is available in the system. To do this, display all the defined fonts using the following command:

xpshow -fnt

Or search for the desired font font_name with the command xpshow -fnt font_name

●Check whether the PCL of your target printer supports the desired attributes of the new form:

xpshow -pcl pcl_name -di LONG

●Now define the new form using the following command: xpadd -frmform_name attributes

For form_name specify the name of the form.

attributes represents a list of attributes the form is to have. Every entry in this list consists of an option as well as a corresponding value. The following options are available:

-ahadministration_host, -cacomment_for_administrator,

-cucomment_for_user, -ftdefault_font, -jejob_end_sheet,

-jsjob_start_sheet, -llline_length, -lmleft_margin, -lslayup,

-mf(mounted font), -mmmount_method, -ntnotification_delivery_threshold, -phpage_height, -plpage_length, -pwpage_width, -sdside_specification, -spjob_separator_sheet, -tmtop_margin, -upuser_permission,

For more information on these options, refer to the description of the xpadd -frmcommand in the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.

Defining a form on the basis of an existing form

A simple way of defining a new form is to copy an existing one to a form name. If necessary, you can also modify the new form at the same time.
