  • Page 13: Decentralized Printers

    This eliminates the need to stock large quantities of preprinted forms. Once you download your form to a Xerox LPS, the printer merges your form with variable data. This capability allows you to create, store, and print any number of forms, in any order, on plain paper.

  • Page 14: Forms You Can Create With Hfdl

    HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Forms you can create with HFDL 1–4 only one set of forms at a time, and must remove and replace any forms currently loaded with the preprinted forms you want. The typical forms application usually requires a stock of preprinted forms.

  • Page 15: Planning Your Forms

    For additional information about designing complex forms and Xerox laser printer capabilities, refer to the “System considerations” appendix. Before you create a form with HFDL command statements, you must plan its layout, content, and appearance according to the requirements described in the following sections.

  • Page 16: Page Frames

    LPS Forms Creation Guide . System page The system page is the maximum area the printer allows you to image graphics and text. The system page is slightly larger than the physical page. If the default paper sizes have been established for your printer, the system page has little bearing on your form design.
  • Page 17 CAUTION: Unexpected results occur if you plan a form for a physical page paper size that is not available. The physical page is the actual paper size. On a Xerox LPS, you define the default size of the physical page during system generation (SYSGEN).

  • Page 20: Negative Coordinates

    There are two types of data: forms data and variable data. Make sure you consider them when you create forms for printing on Xerox LPS printers. Forms data Forms data is the information on a form that remains the same, such as form titles and column titles.

  • Page 21: Fonts

    Fonts must reside in the host database and on the printer. Check with your System Administrator to identify the fonts available on your printer. If you specify a font that does not reside in the host database, you receive an error message when you compile the form.

  • Page 22: Font Orientation When Using Short-Edge Paper Feed

    Some printers, such as the Xerox 4135 LPS, support paper sizes up to 14.33 by 17 inches by allowing the stock to feed into the printer moving in the direction of the page width. This is the short edge feed (SEF) option. This reversal of the feed edge reverses the font orientation the job must use.

  • Page 23: Virtual Keyboard And Font Character Maps

    The keyboard characters are mapped to the corresponding graphic representations of the characters in the Xerox printer fonts. For more information on setting the compiler, refer to the “Using the COMPILE command” section in the “Managing and printing sample forms”...

  • Page 24: Virtual Keyboard Character Maps

    A unique Xerox character identifier is assigned to each character in the Xerox centralized and decentralized fonts. The printer uses the Xerox character identifier to locate the graphic representation of the character.

  • Page 25: Font Character Maps

    “Using HFDL commands” chapter. On a highlight color printer, text, lines, and box borders always print in the primary color of the printer, even if you specify a different color, tint, and so on. You can send a form using red, blue, or green palettes to either a highlight color printer or a full color printer.

  • Page 26: Choosing Paper Size

    Contact your System Administrator to determine available paper sizes. For a list of paper sizes for the family of Xerox laser printers, refer to the “Supported paper sizes” appendix. Careful spacing and form measurements can help ensure a smooth conversion to an electronic format.

  • Page 27: Suggested Uses

    Suggested uses HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE 3.2 FOR IBM MVS CREATING FORMS You can use the design ruler for character spacing or line spacing. For example, you can use scale 1 for 10 characters per inch (cpi) or 10 lines per inch (lpi). Typically, you use side 1 of the ruler for measuring impact–printed computer output reports in which the character spacing is 10 cpi (scale 1) and line spacing is 6 lpi (scale 2) or 8 lpi (scale 3).

  • Page 30: Command Format

    HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Command format Reserved words Special characters 3–2 Each HFDL command consists of a command identifier, parameters, and reserved words associated with the function. The following conventions apply: • A semicolon (;) terminates a command. • A comment line begins with the word COMMENT, followed by a comment and semicolon (;).

  • Page 31: Understanding The Command Syntax Flow Charts

    FONTS specifies fonts. • ICATALOG and PALETTE specifies ink catalog and palette. • INK specifies inks and colors valid only when using Xerox color printers. • IRESULT specifies results when objects imaged with different inks overlap on Xerox highlight color printers only.

  • Page 32: Form Command

    JDE or JDL for the variable data. Before printing your form, verify that the printer contains the correct paper size. Use the printer status key on the printer console. An error message displays if a paper size mismatch occurs at run time. The job aborts and your form does not print.

  • Page 33: Landscape/Portrait Command

    USLETTER, USLEGAL, A3, A4, and B4 are the standard paper sizes you can use with the Xerox LPS. Width (w) and length (l) represent the decimal paper size for printers that allow you to print forms in nonstandard paper sizes.

    HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Defaults Examples FONT command FONT FONTS Parameters 3–8 The GRID sizes must fall into the boundaries of the physical page. The smallest grid allowed is 1 XDOT by 1 XDOT. The largest grid allowed is 1 physical page by 1 physical page. Y specifies the form origin offset downward from the top–left corner of the virtual page.

  • Page 37: Icatalog Command

    XPRM/HFDL 3.2 for IBM MVS Managing Resources manual. Full color printers require the ink catalog name. If you do not specify a catalog for a highlight color printer, the printer uses its default catalog. Figure 3–6 shows the command syntax flow.

  • Page 38: Ink Command

    The INK command is only valid on Xerox highlight color and full color printers. This command specifies all of the inks and colors you use when you create a form on Xerox highlight color and full color printers. The inks you specify with the INK command are referenced as an index number when you use the LINE, TEXT and BOX commands.

  • Page 39: Inkname Format

    ’BLACK’. You must also enclose ink names with embedded blanks in single quotes. NOSUBSTITUTION specifies that ink substitutes are not allowed for this ink. If you do not specify this parameter, the printer attempts to substitute another ink. Full color printers ignore this parameter.

  • Page 40: Iresult Command

    IRESULT command syntax DEFAULT BLACK COLOR DEFAULT uses the printer default IRESULT, which may be BLACK or COLOR. BLACK specifies a black pixel to print when you place two objects with different inks that overlap, and black and highlight pixels coincide.
