Next follows the Named Constants section, which is of greater interest. Note that the page dimensions are given as 11 inches high by 8.5 inches wide. If you use a different paper format, such as A4, you may wish to change these to your format, but corresponding changes will also need to be made in the server setup.

Also note, for example, that the logo (your company name) starts at two inches from the top of the page and that two font sizes are used for the logo, one of 26 points and one of 14 points (a point is about one seventy- second of an inch.) The Program section contains definitions for WriteFixedInfo and WriteVariableInfo. Note the repeated WriteRightJustified and WriteHeaderText (with comments indicating the text they relate to.) If you wish to change the number of lines in that section of the coversheet, you will need to change the number of repetitions accordingly.

Also of interest is the / Times-Roman which indicates the name of the font. This may be changed to a different font to change the appearance of the coversheet, but make sure the font name is spelled exactly right and that it is a font that will be recognized both on the client side and the server side. (File fax$ps_dir:fontmap gives information about valid fonts on the server.)

A further point of interest is the StackReverseEntries command. To oversimplify things somewhat, you could say that PostScript writes pages from the bottom up, while we read from the top down. In order to make the layout of the configuration file look more logical, we write the lines in the order in which they will appear on the page and reverse their order before we give them to PostScript.

It is recommended that coversheet changes be limited to:

Change in text for header, company name, address and phone numbers Change in text of prompts

Change in number of lines in fixed and/ or variable section (not recommended) Change in font sizes

Change in justification (left, right, center) or line/ column positioning Change in paper size (change on server side also)

Change in typeface (but go easy on this.)
