1. Overview The Host Forms Description Language (HFDL) operates in a standard IBM/MVS environment that includes Xerox high–speed, high–volume centralized printers. You use Xerox Print Resources Manager (XPRM) to store form files and resources in the XPRM database. This chapter describes the HFDL features, prerequisites, operating environment, a[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE • Conversion from .FRM to metacode. This feature is implemented as a stand-alone utility program. For details see Appendix D. HFDL also allows you to take advantage of the added features of the Xerox 4650 Printer (600 dpi forms). Prerequisites You should have a working knowledge of your Multiple Virtual Storage (MV[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE 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. If there are different forms, storage costs can be high. If you have to modify preprinted forms, you usually must disc[...]

2. Planning your forms This chapter describes the parameters you must determine and specify when designing your form. Careful planning and design are critical to creating electronic versions of your forms. Form planning and design specify such things as page size, orientation, layout, fonts, inks, and highlight colors. For additional information ab[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Landscape format is ideal for forms, spreadsheets, and reports that require columns across the page. For example, the landscape orientation is appropriate for a Gantt chart that lists six or twelve months horizontally, and lists the tasks vertically. Large paper size forms in short edge feed (SEF) made for the Xerox [...]

PLANNING YOUR FORMS If you decide to place marks along the edge of the physical page (edge–marking) in your form, be familiar with the edge–marking limitations. To accommodate edge–marking, the system page must be larger than the physical page. Since the system page boundaries correspond to at least two edges of the physical page boundaries f[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 2–3 shows the location of the form origin of the virtual page in relation to the actual page size. Figure 2–3. Form origin location LANDSCAPE FORM ORIGIN LANDSCAPE PAGE PORTRAIT FORM ORIGIN VIRTUAL PAGE (USER DEFINED) DEFAULT SIZE= ACTUAL PAPER SIZE (PHYSICAL PAGE) PORTRAIT PAGE FORM ORIGIN OFFSET FROM VIR[...]

PLANNING YOUR FORMS Form element Element origin Fixed text (single line) Upper–left corner of the first character cell when the line appears upright. Fixed text Upper edge of the topmost character (multiple lines) cell and the leftmost edge of the leftmost character cell when viewed in an upright position. Graphics Upper–left corner of the imag[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE If you draw additional lines horizontally and vertically away from the form origin so that each additional line is one unit of measure apart, you create a grid. You can now position form elements by specifying a grid position. Negative coordinates You can use negative x and y values to place the form elements above a[...]

PLANNING YOUR FORMS Fonts Fonts are character sets, each having a unique typeface (Times, Roman or Helvetica), type size (points), and type style (normal, bold, or italic). 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 [...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Figure 2–6 shows the font orientations relative to the physical page. Figure 2–6. Font orientation PORTRAIT PAGE LANDSCAPE PAGE LANDSCAPE FONT PORTRAIT FONT Font orientation when using short–edge paper feed Normally, stock feeds into the printer moving in the direction of the page length. You assign each job a [...]

PLANNING YOUR FORMS Virtual keyboard and font character maps You can create virtual keyboard and font character maps and store them in the XPRM database after installation. During the compilation of forms, you can set the compiler to use the character maps to enable keyboard–to–font character mapping. Use the KEYBOARD parameter of the COMPILE c[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE You can also use the mapping process to assign a different character to a key. Figure 2–8 shows you how to map a little used keyboard character, such as the cent sign (¢), to a new font character required in your form, the fraction one–half ( ). Figure 2–8. Mapping to a different font character Virtual keyboar[...]

PLANNING YOUR FORMS Font character maps Once the compiler equates a keyboard code point to a Xerox character identifier, another translation must locate the graphic representation of the character within the font. A font character map identifies the location of each graphic character within a font. The graphic representation is the actual bitmap th[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE For additional information regarding default ink palettes, catalogs, color models, ink priority and substitutions, and modifying output, refer to the Xerox LPS PDL/DJDE Reference Manual. Choosing paper size Once you determine the actual page size (physical page) available for your printer, you can specify any size wi[...]

PLANNING YOUR FORMS Suggested uses 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[...]

3. Using HFDL commands You use the Host Forms Description Language (HFDL) keyword commands to translate your form design into a format for the host computer. The command set representing your form becomes the Forms Source Language (FSL), which the host compiles and stores. You can download the compiled form to a Xerox LPS or XES printer. This chapt[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE Command format 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 (;). • A blank space separa[...]

USING HFDL COMMANDS produces 65°. No mapping or translation is done to these characters. You can substitute the exclamation point (!) with any other character by using the LITERAL operand at the COMPILE command. Refer to the "Command Syntax" section in the "Managing and printing sample forms" chapter for information on how to u[...]

HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE commands, the defaults are used. If you want to include text on the form, you must specify the FONT command.
