FORMS LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

Landscape pages Line density restrictions differ as a function of the mode (landscape or portrait) of the form. An 8-point or smaller landscape font is smaller than 32 dots for 300 spi and 64 dots for 600 spi. A vertical line is a single dispatchable item. A horizontal line is treated as a series of lines that are 32 dots in length joined end-to-end.

For 300 spi, this means that a form using an 8-point or smaller font on a landscape page may have up to 318 characters (plus a two-item overhead, resulting in 320 dispatchable items) on a scan line. When using a 6-point font, it is possible to have, for example, 132 characters, a line across the page under the text, as well as 80 to 90 vertical lines, without exceeding the line density limitations.

If a form requires a 9-point or larger font, the number of characters that may be imaged on a landscape page is reduced to 160 because the characters are generally more than 32 dots wide. While the dispatchable-item count remains 320 per line, fonts 9 points and larger use two dispatchable items per character. Since a character in a large font constitutes two dispatchable items, only half as many characters in a large font may be imaged on a scan line as is possible with a smaller font.

Portrait pages Restrictions for a portrait page are significantly different from those for a landscape page because the system always images in a landscape direction. Therefore, if a page is formatted as a portrait page, the hardware must take the time to reorganize the data into landscape prior to imaging.

Thus, for a 300-spi portrait page, this drops the dispatchable-item count below the 320-character level when a 12-point font is used. That is, with a 12-point font, a form may have not more than 160 characters on a scan line.

When using an 8-point 300-spi font on a portrait page, the maximum dispatchable-item count permitted is approximately 200 per scan line. This limit falls off gradually to 170 characters for a 6-point font,

150characters for a 5-point font, and 120 characters for a 4-point

font.

If printing at 600 spi, the same size character or length line has twice as many dots.

Page generation errors

Generally, a form is imaged along with variable data. It is possible to create a form that prints correctly when sampled but cannot be successfully overlaid on certain variable data pages. The LPS may not have enough time to merge a complex form with a large amount of variable data within the limits of the throughput environment. In this case, either the amount of variable data can be reduced, or the form simplified. By reviewing the broken page, you can determine the approximate location of the failure and try to reduce the number of characters and lines in that area. It is important to recognize that most imaging problems are local density of information problems rather than page-wide problems.
