A standard form definition file called F1FMMST is included with the system. It contains medium maps of all possible combinations of orientations, paper sizes, duplex mode and so on.

This form definition file should be resident on the printer. On z/OS, place it in a PDS which is available to the PSF procedure. On a Novell print server, define it as a device option in the printer profile in PSF2.
