IPDS Menu Item Value Description
PAGE WHOLE*
COMP1
COMP2
PRINT Determines how data is positioned on the page.
v
WHOLE—IPDS whole page (default). The printer does
not move or compress the page. This is the preferred
method; all page positioning and formatting is done at
the application level on the host. The PRINT, COMP1,
and COMP2 options may alter the appearance of the
page, or may not be compatible with predecessor
products (for example, 3116, 3916), especially when
combined with duplex and other IPDS MENU page
format adjustments such as X-OFFSET and Y-OFFSET.
PRINT, COMP1, and COMP2 are included to allow line
printer jobs to fit on a page where edge-to-edge printing
was not possible; they are not recommended for use in
generating new applications.
v
PRINT—IPDS print page. If the page origin falls within
the unprintable area, the origin of the page is moved to
the inside edge of the nearest unprintable area border. If
the origin violates the unprintable area on two edges, it is
moved to the nearest inside corner of the unprintable
area. If the origin violates only one edge of the
unprintable area, then the origin is adjusted to avoid only
that area.
If a location adjustment is made, the printed page shifts
in the direction of the adjustment. There is no
compression, so the opposite-edge data may be pushed
off the page.
Note:
PRINT requires EDGE-EDGE set OFF to work. Any
data placed in this unprintable area is lost. Also, PRINT
will not work on envelopes or media overlays (overlays
that are part of the base page, not the overlays included
in the variable print data).
v
COMP1—COMP1 format uses PRINT page as a base, and
then compresses the spacing between text lines generated
by the IPDS Begin Line command. Its primary purpose is
to compress Begin Line text data into a page with
unprintable borders.
