Producing Normalized Files

The OVLCOMP utility can create normalized AFP and Metacode files in addition to AFP overlays or Metacode pre-compiled MET files. To create a normalized file, you must start the OVLCOMP utility with the /VF parameter to specify a print-ready file.

Modify your INI file as shown here:

< Control > 
		Normalize = Norm 
< PrtType:Norm > 
		... 

Option

Description

Normalize

Specify the PrtType control group you want the system to use when it normalizes the files. For instance, if you create a control group called PrtType:Norm to contain the option you want the system to use when it normalizes Metacode files, enter Norm.

If the control group you specify is missing or does not appear to be a Xerox or an AFP printer group (Class=XER, Class=AFP) you will receive errors.

The OVLCOMP utility also now includes the /LB parameter which you can use to override the default logical bottom for the form being normalized. To specify a different logical bottom value, include the parameter and a value, as shown here:

/LB = value

Note You can only use the /LB parameter when normalizing files.
