BASIC CONCEPTS
Physical page
This refers to the size of the paper itself. You can use any page
dimension as long as the paper physically fits in the feeder trays
and you can preselect the following paper sizes at system
generation (sysgen), as shown in table 1-1.
Table 1-1. Physical page sizes
Inches Millimeters
8.0 x 10.0 203 x 254
8.0 x 10.5 203 x 267
8.0 x 13.0 203 x 330
8.27 x 10.63 210 x 270
8.27 x 11.69/A4 210 x 297
8.27 x 13.0 210 x 330
8.37 x 10.78 213 x 274
8.46 x 10.83 215 x 275
8.46 x 12.4 215 x 315
8.46 x 14.02 215 x 356
8.5 x 10.75 216 x 273
8.5 x 11.0/USLETTER 216 x 279
8.5 x 13.0 216 x 330
8.5 x 14.0/USLEGAL 216 x 356
Use the PAPERSIZE command in the Print Description Language
(PDL) and the PAPER command in the Forms Description
Language (FDL) to allow form compilation and job printing on a
size of paper other than the paper size you select at sysgen. This
allows you to specify nonstandard paper size for specific jobs.
Refer to the “Forms Description Language” chapter and the
Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS Print Description Language (PDL)
Reference for more information about commands.
Virtual page
The virtual page refers to the dimensions of the page as specified
in the software. The dimensions of the virtual page may be less
than or equal to the dimensions of the physical page size, but
not larger. The printer truncates larger values.
If you explicitly define virtual page size (using the
LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command PAGE SIZE parameter), the
defined area is centered relative to the physical page dimensions.
You can specify an orientation for the virtual page either with the
LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command or by using the FMTn option of
the GRID command. If an orientation is not specified, the virtual
page is assigned a landscape orientation by default.
