There are two separate functions of forms creation: forms design and forms description. Any form can be converted to an electronic form stored on the system by describing it in Forms Description Language (FDL). Forms design involves laying out and measuring a form and is only a peripheral concern of this reference, However, for the forms designer’s convenience, a forms design ruler is provided.

Forms design ruler

The forms design ruler is used for measuring character and line spacings The ruler has eight scales, shown in table F-1.

Scale 1—10/inch

Standard computer output character spacing; can also be used

 

for measuring inches, graduated in tenths.

 

 

Scale 2—6/inch

Standard computer output line spacing (6 Ipi).

 

 

Scale 3—8/inch

Standard computer output line spacing (8 lpi).

 

 

Scale 4—12/inch

Can be used for 12 cpi or 12 lpi.

Scale 5—13.6/inch

Default character spacing on Xerox laser printing systems.

 

 

Scale 6—8.1/inch

Default line spacing on Xerox laser printing systems (66 lines per

 

landscape page).

 

 

Scale 7—10.7/inch

Line spacing on Xerox laser printing systems for 88 lines per

 

landscape page.

 

 

Scale 8—15/inch

Can be used for 15 cpi or 15 lpi.

 

 

 

The scales can be used for either character spacing or line spacing. For example, scale 1 can be used for either 10 characters per inch (cpi) or 10 lines per inch (lpi). Side 1 of the ruler is typically used for measuring impact-printed computer output reports in which the spacing is 10 cpi (scale 1) and either 6 lpi (scale 2) or 8 lpi (scale 3). Side 2 should be used for measuring laser printing systems output.

The default spacings on the system are 13.6 cpi (scale 5) and 8.1 lpi (scale 6); they were chosen for optimal readability for the standard computer format of 132 columns by 66 lines. (Refer to table 2-1 for a complete list of standard formats and spacings.
