Xerox Printer Example Long form, Inks RED, Pink, Inkname format, Inkname syntax, CAT1.PAL1.RED

USING HFDL COMMANDS

Parameters Inkname identifies all of the inks you use to create your form. If you use a reserved word such as BLACK as an ink name, you must enclose it in single quotes: 'BLACK'. You must also enclose ink names with embedded blanks in single quotes.

NOSUBSTITUTION specifies that ink substitutes are not allowed for this ink. If you do not specify this parameter, the printer attempts to substitute another ink. Full color printers ignore this parameter.

Default The printer default ink, if you do not specify the INK (highlight color only).

Example Long form:

INKS RED, PINK;

There is no short form.

Inkname format

This format describes a variety of ways you can specify an ink. Use this statement to describe forms you are compiling for Xerox highlight color or full color printers.

Figure 3±9 shows the inkname syntax.

Figure 3±9.		Inkname syntax
				`color'
		palette	.	color
catalog	.	'palette'

Once you establish an INK command parameter (catalog, palette, or ink color), it remains in effect until you change it or another parameter overrides it. A color or palette name containing one or more blank spaces requires quotes around the name.

Defaults The user catalog specified in the ICATALOG command, if you do not specify a catalog in the INK command.

System default catalog, if you do not specify a default catalog (highlight color only).

The palette you specify in the PALETTE command, if you do not specify a palette in the INK command.

System default palette, if you do not specify a default palette (highlight color only).

When the ink color begins with a digit, you must specify it within quotes.

Examples This example shows you how to use the single quotes in describing specific inks:

RED or `RED'

PAL1.`RED', or `PAL1'.`RED', or PAL1.RED

CAT1.PAL1.`RED', or CAT1.`PAL1'.`RED', or CAT1.`PAL1'.RED, or

CAT1.PAL1.RED
