SHIFT
Image shift is the shifting of the image data (system page) relative to
the physical page. This shifting is in the scan coun ting direction
(vertical for landscape and horizontal for portrait). The SHIFT
parameter specifies whether the image of the form and data on a
page is to be shifted, and if so, by what values. This parameter is
used to shift the image of the data in the y-direction for three-hole
paper, binding, finishing, and edgemarking.

option(s)
Options Table 6-62 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s).
If the origin of a print line falls off the page, the entire line of data fails
to print. This is especially important for duplex portrait-oriented
pages, where a miscalculated shift could result in the entire page
failing to print. When duplex shift is used, the left margin must be at
least .25 inches (75 dots) wide. When using the SHIFT parameter,
make sure that the data is not shifted past the margin and off the
page.
Refer to the "Points to note" section of the VOLUME command in the
chapter "Specifying input parameters."

Option(s) Definition(s)
v
1
An integer value in dots for the amount of shift on t he
simplex page or the odd (front) side of the duplex
page. (Each dot is 1/300 of an inch.) Range for v1 is
-75 to 75.
v
2
A value in dots for the amount of shift on the even
(back) side of a duplex page. Range for v2 is -75 to
75. A standard size shift occurs if YES is specified
(v1=75 and v2=-75).
YES Specifies that a shift occurs. A standard size shift
occurs if YES is specified (v1=75 and v2 =-75).
NO Specifies that no shift occurs (v1=0 and v2=0).
The default is NO.
