Specifying print format parameters

•The maximum number of fonts that may be used in printing a given page or a given job varies depending on a number of factors. The number of fonts specified in the FONTS parameter must be at least equal to the largest number of fonts required to print any page within the job.

When the system is unable to receive an allocation of dynamic memory, the job aborts. Particularly for input, the limitations of dynamically allocated memory impose additional constraints that effectively reduce the maximum number of fonts that may be used to print a page. The number of fonts specified in the FONTS parameter determines the size of a dynamically allocated table where information about the fonts is cached.

•An xdot is 1/600 unit of measurement. You can create, edit, and compile a form specifying XDOTS on any Xerox laser printing system (other than the DP EPS) with version 3 or higher software. The 600 spi form does not print on the DP EPS, which accept only 300 spi data.

PDE PMODE

Specifies the printing mode (orientation) for each physical sheet.

LANDSCAPE	Indicates that printing will be parallel to the long edge of paper (for
	paper loaded with its long edge facing the feed direction). Print
	lines on 11 by 17 inch or A3 paper are parallel to the short edge.
PORTRAIT	Indicates that printing will be parallel to the short edge of paper (for
	paper loaded with its long edge facing the feed direction). Print
	lines on 11 by 17 inch or A3 paper are parallel to the long edge.
