It may be in inches (IN) or centimeters (CM). Defining multiple logical pages on a physical page Logical pages are user defined page images, each bordered by Top Of Form, Bottom Of Form, and left and right margins. To define multiple logical pages on one physical page (one side of a sheet), you code a separate PDE BEGIN parameter for each logical page you want to define. You may define up to 63 logical pages for one physical page. You may define them in any order and place them on the physical page in the sequence that the BEGIN parameters appear in the PDE command. The first BEGIN specified, whatever its physical position on the page, is logical page one. Syntax ac: PDE BEGIN = (vpos [unit], hpos [unit]) Using LCDS Print Description Language 4-95
