Using the Form Image Text Repository

Access the Form Image Text Viewer page (Set Up SACR, and then Common Definition, and then Forms Engine, and then Set Up, and then Form Image Text, and then Form Image Text Viewer).

The form image text is the actual PostScript text that is sent to the PostScript printer. To access the Form Image Text page, select Design Student Administration, and then Forms Engine, and then Setup, and then Form Image Text.

The only fields that you can update on the setup page are Description and Cache Form On Printer. Cache Form On Printer indicates whether the form is sent to the printer only once at the beginning of the print run or each time that the image is needed.

When you save a form layout in the Form Editor, it generates two corresponding entries in the Form Image Text table. The entry that starts with FEP followed by the form name is the static page layout. It is automatically set to cache on the printer. The other entry is the one that starts with FER followed by the form name. It is the runtime portion of the page and is sent each time that the page is printed. The runtime portion combines the page layout with images and wrapped text.
