Page considerations
Now that you have gone through many of the steps and
considerations involved in creating a JSL, the following sections give
you information on these page-related topics:
•
Paper sizes
• Page orientations
• Registration shift and skew
Paper sizes
With the laser printing system, paper sizes are considered in terms
of page frames, which are boundaries associated with a page as a
unit of printing or imaging. Three page frames are defined in the
system:
• Physical page
• System page
•
Virtual page
In addition to page size, edgemarking and non-imaged elements
must be considered when you design the pages of your applications.
System page
This refers to the maximum image area of the printer. The system
page size varies, depending on the size of the paper you are running
for your job.
Physical page
The physical page is the size of the paper itself. You may select any
page dimensions within a 8- by 10-inch minimum and a 14.33- by 17-
inch maximum.
Edgemarking
Edgemarking is the placement of marks along the edge of the page.
These marks consist of graphic elements that bleed off the paper,
tabs for section reference, or marks that denote changes made in
redline drafts. Refer to your
Xerox DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX
LPS Operations Reference for detailed information on edgemarking.
Non-imaged elements
Elements of a page, that is, text and graphics, may begin at the edge
of the physical page and may even extend off the page. However, if
any part of a printed element begins off the system page, then no part
of the element is imaged.
•
If a line of variable data begins off the system page, no part of
the line is printed.
•
If a ruled line begins off the system page, no part of the ruled
line is printed.
