<MSIZE>
Identifies the size of one logical page on a multiple-up physical page. Each Mup tag group can only contain one <MSIZE> tag.
Note: <MSIZE> is not valid with Metacode print streams.
Note: For inputs, the <MSIZE> tag pageX and pageY parameters do not serve the same purpose as the Input group <PAGESIZE> tag pageX and pageY parameters.
The <MSIZE> tag parameters specify the size of one logical page, while the <PAGESIZE> tag parameters specify the size of the complete printable area on one physical page.

| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|

| maximum | The maximum number of lines (records) on one logical page. | None |
| [pageX] | The horizontal width of one logical multiple-up page. The pageX setting can be from 0 to 24000 pels or equivalent. | None |
| [pageY] | The vertical length of one logical multiple-up page. The pageY setting can be from 0 to 24000 pels or equivalent. | None |
| [units] | The type of units in which you specified pageX and pageY. | None |
Hints
- The width and maximum parameters are only necessary for multiple-up impact print streams that are not handled by a page format or JDL (for example,
<MPF> NO). However, you still have to specify a value for them. - The pageX and pageY parameters are only necessary for print streams containing AFP PTX records. This includes output print streams where Enrichment will add PTX records with the Add group.
