INTRODUCTION
xii XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS FORMS CREATION GUIDE
What this guide contains
The DocuPrint 96 Laser Printing System Forms Creation Guide
shows how to create electronic forms by describing them in words
and numbers. FDL is not complicated; it requires performing a few
dimensional measurements and learning some easy-to-follow rules.
The guide is divided into six chapters and six appendices as follows:
Chapter 1: Overview. Contains an explanation of the general
functions and advantages of the Forms Description Language plus
an introduction to laser printing technology.
Chapter 2: Basic concepts. Explains the fundamental printing terms
and techniques that you need to know before starting to create a
form.
Chapter 3: Forms description language. Gives the name, function,
and detailed format of each FDL command that can be used in
setting up and describing a form.
Chapter 4: Compiling and printing forms. Explains how FDL source
code is compiled and stored on the system disk for printing.
Chapter 5: Forms layout considerations. Explains the ambiguities
and constraints inherent in the Forms Description Language.
Chapter 6: Coding a complex form. Gives the step-by-step
procedure for creating a sample form.
Appendix A: FDL command summary. Gives a format-only listing of
all the FDL commands described in this manual.
Appendix B: FDL-generated messages. Lists all the status and error
messages that may appear during compilation.
Appendix C: System default summary. Lists the system default
values that are automatically supplied when keywords are omitted
from the commands.
Appendix D: Hierarchy of grid unit scaling. Explains the system’s
defaults and overrides in response to various grid scaling
specifications.
Appendix E: FDL capacity limits. Describes the various maximums,
in terms of lines, buffers, and space allocation, imposed by the
memory space limits.
Appendix F: Support tools and measurements. Describes the forms
design ruler that is used to lay out and measure a form.
Glossary: Defines the technical terms used in the manual.
