Syntax

 

across n [,gap]

 

Description

 

This instructs UnForm to allocate virtual pages across the physical page, evenly spaced within the left and right margins.  Use this feature for multi-up printing of standard reports, or for laser labels.

 

UnForm will automatically scale text (to as small as 4 point), boxes, and shading.  It will not scale images, barcodes, or attachments.  Also see the down command.

 

Across can be used inside an 'if copy' block, but is only compatible with non-collated copies.  As a result, copy-specific across is only available in the laser driver, and only in conjunction with the copies command, not pcopies.

 

If the optional gap value is specified, it indicates the number of horizontal pixels between each virtual page.  If it is not specified, the default is to use one column (as opposed to pixels).

 

See the 132x4 rule set in advanced.rul for an example of using the across and down commands.
