|
|
<p>Page definitions are resources that format and compose line data into logical
|
|
pages. A page definition contains printing controls that specify: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Where data from each input record is to be printed</li>
|
|
<li>Page size (height and width)</li>
|
|
<li>Data fields that can be suppressed</li>
|
|
<li>Print positions for line-data records containing carriage control characters</li>
|
|
<li>Inline printing direction</li>
|
|
<li>Number of lines per inch</li>
|
|
<li>List of page segments that might be used</li>
|
|
<li>List of overlays that might be used</li>
|
|
<li>Record definitions</li>
|
|
<li>Constant data to be printed</li>
|
|
<li>List of fonts that might be used</li></ul>
|
|
<p>Whenever you are printing to a printer configured as AFP(*YES) and you
|
|
are printing line or mixed data, a page definition is required. If a page
|
|
definition is not specified on the printer file, an inline page definition
|
|
is built from the printer file parameters.</p>
|
|
<p>If you specify a page definition and also specify line data or mixed data,
|
|
no inline page definition is built from the printer file parameters. In this
|
|
case, if you send the data to an Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) printer, Print Services Facility™ (PSF) ignores some
|
|
print parameters.</p>
