Troubleshooting
Physical printer constraints and forms compiler methods are
factors that can affect form design. This chapter provides coding
technique suggestions and hints and tips to help you avoid
coding problems. This chapter also covers factors that may
impact the following:
•
Image complexity
•
Boxes
•
Shading
•
Sections
•
Rounding measurements.
Suggested coding techniques
Converting preprinted forms
Follow these steps to convert preprinted forms:
1. Print data, using an appropriate format, on the laser printing
system.
2. Draw horizontal and vertical lines on the system output.
3. Use the forms design ruler to measure line and character
spacings. Refer to the “Support tools and measurements”
appendix.
4. Code the form.
Designing new forms
Follow these steps to design new forms:
1. Determine the appropriate format.
2. Use the forms design ruler to measure line and character
spacings. Refer to the “Support tools and measurements”
appendix.
3. Draw horizontal and vertical lines on a layout sheet. Use
standard layout sheet forms FLSF1 through FLSF11 that are
provided in the FDL software. Layout sheet forms and
corresponding paper sizes are shown in table 4-1.
4. Define the x and y coordinates.
5. Code the form.
