IPS APPLICATION MIGRATION

Continuous form to cut sheet conversion

If you try to print the same application on both an IBM 3800 printer (continuous form) and a DocuPrint IPS printer (cut sheet), your output may appear in the wrong orientation or extend off the edge of the page. These problems occur because the page origin on the IBM 3800 printer is different from all other IPDS printers, including the DocuPrint IPS printers:

for DocuPrint IPS printers and all other cut sheet printers (both IBM and Xerox), the origin is at the top left corner of a portrait page

for IBM 3800 printers, the origin is at the top left corner of the leading edge.

As a result, you may need to modify your existing AFP resources to account for this difference, whether you are changing from a 3800 to another IBM continuous feed printer, such as the 3900 or 3835, or to any IBM or Xerox cut sheet printer.

The required changes are based on the current page rotation and presentation specified in the FormDef or PageDef for documents printed on continuous form printers. For example, if you have documents that use 11 by 17 inch paper, you may need to change the rotation in order to print the application correctly.

Another option is to use the 90° rotation feature on the DocuPrint IPS printers. This allows the print operator to rotate the print 90° and allows it to print correctly, without having to make any application changes.

This figure illustrates the difference between the two page origins:

Converting 3800 applications

Continuous forms are fed into a 3800 printer either of two ways: wide feed (long edge first) or narrow feed (short edge first). While the DocuPrint IPS printers feed the paper long edge first (wide feed), the orientation is based on a narrow feed. Therefore, if you are migrating an application originally created for the IBM 3800 that uses narrow forms, you should not have to make any changes to your AFP resources because the 3800 hardware origin will match the DocuPrint IPS origin.
