The SMO Reference Pages

The following pages show how the four possible SMO combinations behave on the following four different printer types:

• Cut-sheet
• Continuous forms with wide paper
• Continuous forms with narrow paper
• Continuous forms with Cut Sheet Emulation enabled

There are four summary pages that show the media origin and print directions for the above printer types. These are followed by detail pages. The top of each detail page shows the:

• Printer type
• Values for Presentation and Direction coded on the form definition used
• Medium Origin value that this combination produces

The page shows six images of a single paper sheet. The media origin or top, left-hand corner is shown with a shaded rectangle. The top three sheets show how data is oriented for:

• Simplex sheet or front of a duplex sheet
• Back of a normal duplex sheet
• Back of a tumble duplex sheet

Simulated hole punches and rotation axis lines are provided to help visualize how the back of a duplex sheet relates to the front. An image made from a photograph is included on these sheets to help understand the orientation. The top, left-hand corner of the image is in the same corner as the media origin.

The leftmost sheet on the bottom row shows the four print directions and how they relate to the media origin. The middle sheet shows sample line data formatted using a page definition coded with an across print direction. The rightmost sheet shows data formatted with a page definition coded with a down print direction. The page definition name, its direction, total lines, and lines-per-inch spacing are given below each page.
