If you have a situation where text on landscape forms printed from Studio drops 3/16 of an inch, yet printing the same FAP file as a portrait form works correctly, the problem is likely a font conversion issue.
This usually happens when Xerox landscape fonts are converted into PCL fonts. In the conversion, you get an identical bitmap font, but when you print on Xerox the landscape fonts are printed using a different coordinate system. For PCL, a baseline of the font is used. These fonts have a large amount of white space at the top of each character and that is why they appear jogged down the page.
To correct this situation, edit your font cross-reference file (FXR) and change all the PCL font references to use the portrait font rather than the converted landscape font.
For instance, open Studio’s Font manager and select the landscape font. In the Font File field under PCL Properties, you will see the font being used, such as 5LH08B. Change this font to its portrait equivalent, such as 5PH08B.
The next time you print the FAP file, any text using this font will print correctly. If you have other fonts exhibiting the same problem, you will have to change them too.
