FORMS LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS FORMS CREATION GUIDE 5-7
Summary
In general, you can optimize form generation in the following manner:
• Use lines and boxes rather than characters of the form element
font, whenever possible.
• Avoid placing too many small characters in one area of the
page.
• Avoid overlapping (superimposing) lines or boxes.
• Avoid overlapping characters to achieve bolding or other
effects. Use the correct font whenever possible.
• Avoid using too many dotted/broken lines because they create
too much overhead in the printing process. You will receive a
displayed message during compilation each time a broken/
dotted line has been defined.
• Avoid too many font switches on the same text line. This
creates overhead in the printing process.
• Avoid drawing unneeded lines across the longest side of the
physical page.
FDL statistics If a form is successfully compiled, FDL statistics are displayed on the
summary sheet. Among them are the following:
• Size of the source output file (FSL)
• Size of the printable form file (FRM)
• Size of the form image buffer
• Amount of font memory used by the form.
