Predefined formats
A set of predefined print description entries or formats, having
standard format specifications, are provided on the operating system
software (OSS) tapes. You may use these standard print formats or
define your own to suit your specific needs. These standard formats
provide commonly used impact printer conversion formats for use
with specific page sizes and orientations. Use the Xerox Design
Ruler to assist you in measuring character and line spacing. The ruler
has eight scales that conform to the standard format grid. (Refer to
table F-1.)
FMT1 (landscape) or FMT6 (portrait) is used by FDL to provide
default values for page orientation, form origin, and grid unit
dimensions, provided there are no explicit overriding parameters.
Note: Unless overridden by an explicit orientation PAGE SIZE
parameter, the virtual page size in a predefined format is always the
sysgen-specified paper size.
The virtual page origin is located at the upper left corner of the
physical page.
