Letterhead
The Forms option makes printing jobs with letterhead more efficient as it eliminates the need 
to change or reload the paper tray with pre-printed letterhead. If the forms option is turned off 
at the PSM, you can still set it from the workstation to override default options in PSM. How-
ever, if the current form in the PSM is “No Form”, the job set this way will fail because no form 
has been added for use.
Warning: When using the Form feature in the PSM, the following Job Settings must match to achieve the desired 
output:
• Bit Depth (Contone/BiLevel/Monochrome): Both the Form and the file to be overlaid must come 
through the same Virtual Printer.
• Horizontal and Vertical Resolution Settings
If these Job Settings do not match, the job will print without the form, and an error message will be generated in 
the system log.
To use the Forms Setup option:
Select a Virtual Engine.
Select Virtual Engine
ÎForms to open the 
Form Configuration dialog.
Note: To open the Form Setup dialog, pressing 
[Ctrl]+[F].
Click Close to apply the Form Setup.
Engine Defaults…
The Virtual Engine Default Settings dialog may contain several option categories (e.g., Vir-
tual Engine Defaults and Job Defaults), depending on engine type. The next section 
describes each default type. 
To access the Engine Defaults dialog:
Right-click the Virtual Engine's task bar button on the PSM main dialog.
Select Engine Defaults.

Note: 
Before the “Use Forms” option is available, a job must first be selected to be used as a 
form from the Current Jobs field. “Add” it to the list of Available Forms.
