Specifying print format parameters

OUTPUT IMAGE

This parameter is for Batch mode processing only, and specifies the initial graphic imaging parameters to be used.

Syntax OUTPUT IMAGE = (vpos [units], hpos [units] [, n [/d]] [, (INKS, inkref1 [, inkref2])])

Options

Table 4-59. OUTPUT IMAGE parameter options and definitions

Option

Definition

 

 

 

 

vpos

vertical position.

 

Specifies the vertical position of the top edge of the graphic, as a

 

downward offset, relative to 0,0 on the current physical page (the position

 

that would be specified by a PDE BEGIN of 0,0). This parameter is

 

specified as a decimal number with up to three digits to the right of the

 

decimal point and may be followed by a space and the units indicator.

 

 

hpos

horizontal position.

 

Specifies the horizontal position of the left edge of the graphic, as a

 

rightward offset, relative to 0,0 on the current physical page. The form of

 

the specification is the same as for vpos.

 

 

units

Specifies the unit of measure for the vertical and horizontal positions of

 

the image on the page.

 

DOTS

 

CM (centimeters)

 

IN (inches)

 

• UN (user defined unit).

 

The default unit is IN.

 

 

n / d

numerator / denominator.

 

Specifies the reference scale factor. Each parameter, n and d, must be an

 

integer in the range of 1 to 8, thereby allowing a reference scale factor in

 

the range of 1/8 to 8.

 

The reference scale factor is multiplied by the scale factor specified at the

 

time the graphic was digitized and the product is rounded to the nearest

 

integer in the range 1 to 8. That integer becomes the effective scale factor

 

with which each pixel of the graphic is imaged.

 

If n is specified but not d, d is assumed to be 1.

 

 

INKS

Specifies that the ink references that follow will override the inks that were

 

defined in the image file.

 

 

inkref

ink reference

 

Specifies the inks that override the corresponding inks specified in the ink

 

list of the image file.
