width

The process direction measurement that will be used to determine the pitch

 

mode.

 

• For normal (long edge) feeding, this is usually a measure of the short edge

 

of the widest paper being used in the report.

 

• For short edge feeding (SEF) this measures the long edge.

 

Width values can range from the 7 inch equivalent to the 17 inch equivalent.

 

 

widthunit

Unit of measure for the width of the paper.

 

Can be IN (inches), CM (centimeters), DOTS, or XDOTS (600 spi dots).

 

The default width unit is IN.

value

Specifies the Top Of Form line number. This specification is independent of

 

channel assignments. It should be greater than or equal to 1 and less than or

 

equal to the smallest line number assigned to a channel.

 

The default is 1.

 

 

 

 

 

TOF DJDE: points to note

 

 

 

The TOF DJDE is applied before processing of the first data record following the DJDE record.

Depending on the time of a page transition, the TOF DJDE may not take effect on the next record. In other words, even though a TOF DJDE is processed, a page transition may have occurred before the DJDE value could take effect.
