Problem

Solutions: The following information was given in training on Print To Disk for the Xerox 4045 printer:

Absolute spacing is more commonly used with laser printers. On the other hand, relative spacing is more common to dot-matrix printers. Most laser printers calculate the page positioning on the X,Y axis as 0,0 for the top left corner of the page. Xerox calculates the X,Y axis for the top left corner starting with the large number and counting down. For example, with the motion units set to 300ths (300 units equal to one inch) at the beginning of a print job, the page size would be set to [3300,2550]. 3300 is obtained by multiplying 300 by 11" for the length and 2550 is obtained by multiplying 300 by 8.5" for the width.


Xerox lists the wide edge (or Y coordinate) first, even though it is portrait and not landscape. Therefore, if you were to go down one line from the top left corner the next position would be 300,2966. This is only an example to illustrate how the Xerox 4045 counts backwards as it goes down the page.

This information would mainly be useful for troubleshooting the actual codes sent to the printer via a Print To Disk for the Xerox printers. Most of this information should be attainable in the Xerox manual.
