parameter: points
to note
•
When specifying the location of the beginning of a print line
on a logical page, view the page in the orientation (landscape
or portrait) in which it will be printed.
•
Structure your variable data in the same order that the logical
pages are defined, using either spacing or skipping printer
carriage controls to move from one logical page to the next.
Generally, a Skip to Channel 1 parameter is the easiest way
to position to the next logical page.
•
Each online banner page is positioned as the first logical
page on a new physical sheet (if the BANNER TYPE
parameter specifies BANNER).
•
ROFFSET causes the logical page containing the matching
criteria to be the first logical page of a new physical sheet.
•
Page numbering occurs on each logical page, rather than
each physical page.
•
Commands that specify line numbers, such as CRITERIA,
VFU, CME, and NUMBER, refer to the line on the current
logical page (ranging from TOF to BOF).

the logical page, relative to the left edge of the physical sheet. All
specifications are rounded to the nearest dot (1/300 of an inch) for
positioning of the logical page.
The default horizontal position is .66.
