Form definitions for printers other than the 3800, PCL4, and PPDS printers

Many of the form definitions in the tables in this topic use Bin 1. By default, 64xx and 65xx printers emulate a 4234 printer, which only supports bin number 255. Using these form definitions with a 4234 printer or a 64xx or 65xx printer emulating a 4234 printer causes an error. Before using these form definitions with a 64xx printer or a 65xx printer, configure the 64xx printer to emulate a 64xx printer and configure the 65xx printer to emulate a 6408 printer, not a 4234 printer.

Table 11 describes the form definitions for printers other than the 3800, PCL4, and PPDS printers, with the name and a description of each. Note that on some printers printing near the edge of the paper can result in poor print quality in the border area. If the printer has a third paper source, you can use it with some of the form definitions. For the limitations on your printer, see the publications for your printer. Each of these form definitions specifies:

  • One copy
  • No overlays
  • No offset stacking or copy marking

Note:
The 3820 lines up B4-size paper differently from other paper because of the B4 paper length. To compensate for this, you can create a form definition with a page position of 0.10, 0.00 inch.

Table 12 lists form definitions that let you print envelopes or use the manual input bin on the 4028 printer.

Table 14 lists form definitions for N_UP 2 printing. These form definitions define two pages on a side of a sheet. For more information about using the N_UP subcommand to create N_UP form definitions, see Page Printer Formatting Aid: User’s Guide.

Table 17 lists form definitions that can be used to select print quality at a 64xx printer or a 65xx printer. To facilitate printing edge-to-edge, these form definitions specify a page position of 0,0. These form definitions also specify a bin number of 1.

Note:
By default, a 64xx printer emulates a 4234 printer, which only supports a bin number of 255. These form definitions specify bin number 1; therefore, using these form definitions with a 64xx printer emulating a 4234 printer causes an error. Before using these form definitions with a 64xx printer, configure the printer to emulate a 64xx printer and not a 4234 printer. The 65xx printer also defaults to emulate a 4234 printer. Before using these form definitions with a 65xx printer, configure the 65xx printer to emulate a 6408 printer and not a 4234 printer.
