Form definitions for special purpose jobs

Table 22 describes the form definitions supplied with PSF for all special purposes except finishing. You can use these form definitions on any AFP printers. Each of these form definitions specifies:

• One copy
• No offset stacking or copy markings
• Primary paper source
• Duplex off
• No forms flash

Form definition F1IBM is provided for use in verifying the installation and prints a supplied overlay that contains the IBM logo. This form definition would ordinarily be used only during system installation, to verify that the PSF product is working correctly.

F1OGL is provided for use with the Overlay Generation Language (OGL) program. Use F1OGL to print the overlay sample created during the processing of your OGL statements. The overlay sample is a page, identical with the overlay resource, that can be sent directly to the printer. F1OGL positions the overlay sample page at the medium origin (0.0, 0.0), which ensures that the print position of the overlay sample matches the print position of the overlay resource when it is called for printing by a user-specified form definition. For more information about using OGL to produce overlays and overlay samples, see Overlay Generation Language User’s Guide and Reference, S544-3702.

You can use F1OGL for printing any job in which you want the page to be positioned at the medium origin. However, if you position a page at the medium origin, you must ensure that data in the page does not fall outside the printable area of the sheet. For more information about the areas on which your printer can print, see the documentation provided with the printer.
