Specifying print format parameters
4-56 Using LCDS Print Description Language
OUTPUT FORMS
Specifies forms to be associated with the report copies. Different
forms may be associated with different copies of a report by the
use of multiple FORMS left parts in the same OUTPUT
command.
Syntax OUTPUT FORMS = {NONE | formid | ( formid [, init [, copies ]]) [,
(INKS, inkref
1
[, inkref
2
] ...)])}
NOTE: To ensure readability, enter the entire FORMS
parameter. Do not abbreviate to “FOR,” because the system
interprets “FOR” as FORMAT.

Table 4-55. OUTPUT FORMS parameter options and definitions
Option Definition
formid Specifies a 1 to 6 character form file name (may be numeric, alpha, or
alphanumeric) that already exists on the system disk.
Forms can be coded at a workstation with forms creation software such as
Elixir, or on another LPS using Xerox Forms Description Language (FDL), and
transferred to the print server disk by importing it via diskette, tape, or CD.
Refer to “Importing LCDS resources” in the “PDL principles and procedures”
chapter for the procedure.
init Specifies the first copy number to which the specified form applies. This
defaults to the first or next copy.
If neither
init nor copies is specified, the form applies to all copies of all data
pages of the report.
copies Specifies the number of copies to which the form applies.
If the
copies option is not specified, the last (or only) specified form applies to
all copies beginning with the init copy number.
If the form is not the last one specified, copies defaults to 1.
NONE Means that no form is added to the associated report page of variable data.
inkref Ink reference .
Identifies the inks that override the corresponding inks that are specified in the
ink list of the form. If a form does not contain an ink list, the form is printed in
black.
