Converting a 4850 color box to a
DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX
black box
When the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX prints a 4850 or 4890 form
specifying a color box, it converts the color box fill to a black box fill.
In printing the box, the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX converts any
shades of a color to a shade of black or “grayscale.” Be aware,
however, that solid-color boxes are not converted to solid-black
boxes. These solid-colors are also printed in grayscale.
Using the SHIFT command with
SHADING on a DocuPrint 96/
DocuPrint 96MX
The SHIFT and XSHIFT parameter is a PDL feature that enables the
Programmer to adjust the data on a form to allow for three-hole
drilling or binding. Sometimes a negative SHIFT value can cause the
data to be shifted past the margin and off the page. This can easily
occur when shading is used near the leading edge of the paper.
Adjusting the SHIFT, ORIGIN and ALIGNMENT values can prevent
the shading image from shifting off the page at the leading edge. The
following example illustrates this point:
Example:
GRID [UNIT] [IS] 1 DOT, ORIGIN [IS] 0,0;
The system displays the following message:
Data origin off page. Check output
