<DENSITY>

Specifies the print density of pages and units for Metacode, PostScript, PCL, AFPDS, AFP line data, or AFP mixed data print streams so that Enrichment can add objects correctly. For AFPDS print streams, AUTO can be specified to indicate the density may change from page to page.

Do not set the <DENSITY> tag for <TYPE> DJDE, <TYPE> IMPACT or <TYPE> PDF.

Note: Use of the <DENSITY> tag in an <ADD> tag group will affect the calculations that Enrichment does for <POSITION>, <HEIGHT>, <BARS>, <TRACKER>, and <POSMULTUP> unless the values are indicated in pels. Although the <DENSITY> tag can take two parameters (density and units) only the density value is used in the <ADD> tag group.
