Form definitions

If you are printing on cut-sheet printers, use a form definition with N_UP 1 or PORTRAIT ACROSS. Otherwise your output can rotate incorrectly.

If you are printing on a 3800 printer, your application must be compatible with the 3900 continuous-forms printers. Otherwise your output can rotate incorrectly. See Page-presentation compatibility.

Consider using different form definitions and page definitions for AFP print jobs and for microfilm jobs. For example, print jobs might need to contain constant forms, but microfilm jobs might not. Also, microfilm devices print in simplex mode.

A form definition, a page definition, and the microfilm setup resource data interact together to present an AFP page on microfilm. Coordination between resources is necessary, and in some cases a test run is recommended. Work with your system programmer to set up a test run.

If you use N_UP to place multiple pages in partitions on a sheet, your output might be unreadable on a microfilm device.
