The data entered on this page describes how the spool file to be merged with this overlay
should be manipulated. The attributes (number of lines per inch, font etc.) of the spool entry
will be overwritten by these settings.
Overlay text: For your own information
Line spacing: Is dissolved in n/240 inch. For example 6 lines per inch corresponds to 40/240
inch. You may have been expecting to have to specify line spacing in number
of lines per inch. We have chosen this method to give you a higher degree of
freedom of choice. This setting can be overwritten by Extended Formatting.
By stating *INPUT the value is set according to the attribute of the spool entry.
Rotation: Informs the system how the contents of the input spool entry should be
rotated on the paper. You may specify 000, 090, 180 or 270 degrees (counter
clockwise). The values 180 and 270 can only be used in connection with
IBM3812/16. In connection with other printer types these values will be
perceived as 000. By stating *INPUT the value is set according to the attribute
of the spool entry. The attributes *COR and *AUTO is also inspected.
Extra Left
Margin: Number of character the print should be offset from the left margin. Extra
positions defined here will be included in Extended Formatting
Max Print pos: Maximum Print Position should normally be set to 240. However, in case the
spool entry, intended for merging with the overlay, contains unwanted
characters to the right, the number of print positions to be truncated can be
specified here.
Extra blank
lines: Extra blank lines inserted before line one of the spool entry. This value can be
suppressed by Extended Formatting.
Font: This font will be the global font for the entire spool entry unless otherwise
specified by Extended Formatting or the overlay definitions Remap Window
and Tabulator. By stating *INPUT the value is set according to the attribute of
the spool entry
