BY
y
unit
Specifies nonstandard sizes. The x represents the virtual
page width and the y represents the virtual page height.
Units are optional and can be expressed in INCH or
INCHES, CM or CENTIMETERS, DOTS, or XDOTS. The
default is INCHES.
The x and y values must be positive numbers and may
contain two decimal places for all units except DOTS.
Default
If a PAPER command is not present, and a predefined format is
not specified, the sysgen-defined paper size in effect at run time
is used as the paper size value.
Example nonstandard sizes
PAPER SIZE IS 16.54 INCHES BY 11.69 INCHES;
Example standard sizes
PAPER SIZE IS USLETTER;
Considerations
USLETTER and USLEGAL cannot be abbreviated.
You can specify paper size in a Job Source Library (JSL). When
the JSL specifies PAPERSIZE using the keyword method, for
example, USLETTER, A4, or USLEGAL, the .FSL must also use the
same method. If the JSL specifies PAPERSIZE=8.5 by 14 and
your .FSL specifies PAPER SIZE IS USLEGAL, one of the following
error messages is displayed:
OS6670 Form paper size too small. Form will not be printed.
OS6680 Form paper size too large. Form will not be printed.
These errors appear only when you print the form. The
messages do not appear when you compile the form without
printing it.
Reference
The PDL PAPERSIZE command is explained in more detail in your
Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS Print Description Language (PDL)
Reference.
Due to edgemarking considerations, the form created by
specifying a paper size of USLEGAL is different from one
specifying 8.5 by 14 inches.
