Parameters
SIZE and IS are optional words you can use for clarity in the long
form of the language coding.
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.
units indicates the unit of measure you want to use when
specifying the size of the page. The units you can choose are
INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS. You can use two
decimal places when you specify inches and centimeters. You
must express DOTS and XDOTS in integers.
Refer to the "Supported paper sizes" appendix for more
information.
Default
Inches, if you do not specify units.
If you do not specify the PAPER command and a predefined
format is not defined in the GRID command, HFDL assumes
USLETTER.
Examples
Long form:
PAPER SIZE IS USLETTER;
PAPER SIZE IS 8.5 INCHES BY 11 INCHES;
Short form:
PAPER USLETTER;
Use the LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command to specify the
orientation of the form, and the size and origin of the virtual
page.
If you specified the predefined format in the GRID command,
the form orientation is established automatically and you do not
need to use the LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command.
