PDE command parameters

The following table summarizes the PDE command parameters.

The following sections describe the syntax of the PDE command
parameters and explain the parameter options.

PDE BEGIN

Specifies the location of the starting print line of a logical page. It
may be in inches (IN) or centimeters (CM).

Defining multiple

logical pages on a

physical page

Logical pages are user defined page images, each bordered by
Top Of Form, Bottom Of Form, and left and right margins. To
define multiple logical pages on one physical page (one side of a
sheet), you code a separate PDE BEGIN parameter for each
logical page you want to define.
You may define up to 63 logical pages for one physical page.
You may define them in any order and place them on the
physical page in the sequence that the BEGIN parameters
appear in the PDE command. The first BEGIN specified,
whatever its physical position on the page, is logical page one.

Syntax

ac: PDE BEGIN = (vpos [unit], hpos [unit])
