overprint option.
This option has the following choices:
• PRINT: Specifies that all overprint lines are printed as they would be on an
impact printer; that is, the second line is printed over the top of the first with
no regard to the previous data, including character spacing, which may
vary between the two lines of data.
• IGNORE: All overprint lines are ignored.
• MERGE: Same as PRINT except when used with FONTINDEX or CME
processing. Refer to 1) the "LINE OVERPRINT parameter: points to note"
section below and, 2) Example 2 of the "Examples" section for this
parameter.
• PRINT2: Specifies that up to two consecutive lines are printed per line; that
is, one line and one overprint. Other overprints for the line are ignored.
display.
This option has the following components:
• DISP
• NODISP
NOTE: This option is not functional on the FreeFlow Print Server LCDS
systems. It is preserved here for compatibility with other Xerox laser printing
systems. The number of overprint lines is always printed on the accounting
page.
(PRINT, NODISP)
FONTINDEX and OVERPRINT: When used in conjunction with
OVERPRINT, FONTINDEX is handled as follows:
• For OVERPRINT=PRINT, the printing system overprints
records analogously to an impact printer if the fonts are the
same size. If the fonts differ, records are overprinted without
regard to character spacing.
• For OVERPRINT=MERGE, the system replaces blank
characters in the previously printable line, if this print record
overprints the line. Character spacing values are adjusted;
thus, proportionally spaced or different size fonts may be
used, and the system performs the character placement.
Blank characters in the previous printable line are replaced
only when they are translated using the CODE table into an
ASCII X'20' or into a character value greater than that of the
highest character in the specified font.
