LOGO command

Use the LOGO command to place logos in the form. The logo is a special font of one or more characters, which carries with it the relative position of the characters to make up the logo.

Although a logo may comprise many characters, it is positioned as a single unit. There is an option that overrides the colors given to a color logo file. For example, if you reference a logo in a color other than blue on a blue form, you must specify 'USING INK n' to override the existing color specification of the logo. If you do not use this option, the printer requests an ink substitution prior to printing the form. Logos you specify in a form you are printing on a Xerox highlight color LPS printer must be in color format. You receive a `LOGO NOT FOUND' message if you reference a black and white logo in a highlight color (HC) form. The command format designates the proper placement of a logo according to the planned form.

CAUTION: The XPRM database does not support XES logos. To include a logo on an XES form, you must convert the logo to a font and load it into the XPRM database as a font.
