Xerox Printer manual Using the sample description command, Form XEROX2

CREATING A SAMPLE FORM

Since the sample form uses the default resolution, default physical page size, and default grid format, you can omit these commands. This example shows entering all of the setup commands required in their short form:

FORM XEROX2;

FONTS UN214A, UN107A, UN104A;

Using the sample description command

After you finish setting up the sample form, follow these steps to enter descriptive data:

1.Draw 14 parallel horizontal lines as shown.

Physical and virtual page origin

-1	Form origin (0,0)
	132
7
11
15
55
59

The following example shows the long form of the LINE command:

AT 7 DRAW 14 HORIZONTAL LINES FROM ±1 TO 132

USING SOLID 1 AND REPEAT VERTICALLY EVERY 4;

The LINE command draws lines in a horizontal direction under character row 7 and every fourth row thereafter, beginning two character positions to the left of character position 1 and ending at character position 132.

SOLID 1 specifies the appearance of the lines, which are solid and one point wide. Make sure that you stay within the boundaries of the system page when you specify a negative character position.

VERTICALLY is the default direction of the repetition process when printing is horizontal, since the usual intent is to draw parallel lines.
