boilerplates

boiler plates are registered for various purposes. Originally, they were mainly used for longer descriptions of articles. Currently, texts with up to 99 lines and each up to 72 characters can be registered for each article and thus for each language wished to correspond in.

For one group of similar articles there often is a higher description. In such cases an article group code is printed into the article which in return refers to a boiler plates within that frame.

If articles are presented in succession with the same group codes within an order, the text belonging to the group code is usually printed only once as a "quasi-heading".

In an enlarged application such texts with "pseudo article codes" are registered for special purposes; such begin with special characters which are normally notused for articles :

· @ — texts which after being keyed in are copied as single text lines in the positional area of the order and which can still be altered if necessary.

· & — texts which are presented through the keying in of such codes and which are only printed the way they were recorded in process of printing.

· * — texts for conditions of payment and reminders concerning holidays which can be called up as a standard function by the generator of forms.
