<MPF>

The <MPF> tag specifies whether one page format or JDL, multiple mapped page formats and copy groups, or no page formats or JDL control placement of logical pages.

For example, mapped page formats could have constant characters of P2XX and two types of pages that could occur on either side of the page (the first page using the characters FP and the detail pages using the characters DT). The four possible page formats found and created by Enrichment are:

  • P2XXFPFP
  • P2XXFPDT
  • P2XXDTFP
  • P2XXDTDT
Note: <MPF> is not valid with AFPDS or Metacode print streams.

Syntax

<MPF> pf [CGfront PFfront CGback PFback]

Parameter Description Default
pf One of the following: NO
Y[ES] An AFP page format or Xerox JDL controls multiple-up placement and all logical pages use the same carriage control characters. Therefore, the pages appear single-up within the print stream.

This is used for both AFP multiple-up and enhanced multiple-up (that is, power positioning.

Setting pf to YES for AFP multiple-up (using a page format) will properly position <ADD> group PTX records on each logical page.

N[O] Within the print stream, the pages appear multiple-up and an AFP page format or Xerox JDL does not control multiple-up placement.

If you set pf to NO for an output, Enrichment does not add a page format or copy group to your output.

M[APPED] AFP mapped page format and copy group names control multiple-up page placement. A mapped name contains three parts: constant characters, characters for the left page, and characters for the right page.

If you set pf to MAPPED, you can also use the <MMAP> tag.

[CGfront] The constant characters in the names of every copy group for front pages (if you set pf to MAPPED). None
[PFfront] The constant characters in the names of every page format for front pages (if pf is MAPPED). None
[CGback] The constant characters in the names of every copy group for back pages (if pf is MAPPED and <DUPLEX> is Y). None
[PFback] The constant characters in the names of every page format for back pages (if pf is MAPPED and <DUPLEX> is Y). None
