Specifying print format parameters
4-60 Using LCDS Print Description Language
OUTPUT IMAGE
This parameter is for Batch mode processing only, and specifies
the initial graphic imaging parameters to be used.
Syntax OUTPUT IMAGE = (vpos [units], hpos [units] [, n [/d]]
[, (INKS, inkref
1
[, inkref
2
])])
Options
Table 4-59. OUTPUT IMAGE parameter options and definitions
Option Definition
vpos vertical position.
Specifies the vertical position of the top edge of the graphic, as a
downward offset, relative to 0,0 on the current physical page (the position
that would be specified by a PDE BEGIN of 0,0). This parameter is
specified as a decimal number with up to three digits to the right of the
decimal point and may be followed by a space and the units indicator.
hpos horizontal position.
Specifies the horizontal position of the left edge of the graphic, as a
rightward offset, relative to 0,0 on the current physical page. The form of
the specification is the same as for vpos.
units Specifies the unit of measure for the vertical and horizontal positions of
the image on the page.
•DOTS
• CM (centimeters)
• IN (inches)
• UN (user defined unit).
The default unit is IN.
n / d numerator / denominator.
Specifies the reference scale factor. Each parameter, n and d, must be an
integer in the range of 1 to 8, thereby allowing a reference scale factor in
the range of 1/8 to 8.
The reference scale factor is multiplied by the scale factor specified at the
time the graphic was digitized and the product is rounded to the nearest
integer in the range 1 to 8. That integer becomes the effective scale factor
with which each pixel of the graphic is imaged.
If n is specified but not d, d is assumed to be 1.
INKS Specifies that the ink references that follow will override the inks that were
defined in the image file.
inkref ink reference
Specifies the inks that override the corresponding inks specified in the ink
list of the image file.
