Advanced Function Presentation: Set Media Origin
Overview This white paper explains how Set Media Origin (SMO) is used in an Advanced Function Printing (AFP) environment to control the orientation of printed output. SMO provides control of the application page orientation as it is placed on the paper. When IBM was developing its second, continuous forms AFP printer, the 3835, it was decided to develop a solution for the problem of different media origins between cut-sheet and continuous forms printers. The AFP architecture was developed to allow the media origin to be moved to any of the four corners of the paper. This function is called Set Media Origin and is controlled by a value in the form definition or formdef. This value is called the Medium Origin and is set using the Page Printer Formatting Aid (PPFA), PRESENT and DIRECTION parameters on the FORMDEF and COPYGROUP commands.
