Xerox Printer manual Frames, System

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

Landscape format is ideal for forms, spreadsheets, and reports that require columns across the page. For example, the landscape orientation is appropriate for a Gantt chart that lists six or twelve months horizontally, and lists the tasks vertically.

Large paper size forms in short edge feed (SEF) made for the Xerox 4135 printer require you to specify the FONTS command in the opposite orientation. For example, for a portrait orientation, use landscape fonts, and for a landscape orientation, use portrait fonts. Make sure you specify the orientation you want. For example, for a portrait form, specify PORTRAIT for the orientation, and for a landscape form, specify LANDSCAPE.

Page frames

The page frame is a set of boundaries associated with a page as a unit of printing or imaging. There are three types of page frames: system, physical, and virtual. Figure 2±2 shows the relationship between the system, physical, and virtual page.

System page

The system page is the maximum area the printer allows you to image graphics and text. The system page is slightly larger than the physical page. If the default paper sizes have been established for your printer, the system page has little bearing on your form design.
