1 Welcome to the WPM Web1.1 WPM Product Overview1.1.1 Advantages of Web-Compliant Electronic Form System

WPM is a Web-compliant electronic form system. Different from the traditional one, an electronic form system offers excellent advantages as follows:

● Cut-down unnecessary cost - No cost is necessary for paper, printing, sorting, delivery, and storage sites.

● Reduce wasting time - Eliminates time for printing, delivery, viewing, searching, and re-entrying data.

● Eliminate unnecessary space - No space is necessary for printing, delivery, and storing forms.

In addition, WPM is available if client has IE. Neither distributed server nor software for only client is required.

1.1.2 WPM Product ComponentsWPM Web for AIX or WPM Web for Windows has the several components. Major components offering the function shown in the following table:

Component Name FunctionWPM Web Server (AIX or Windows)

Manages the forms generated by AFP Emulator.

WPM AFP Emulator for Web or for AIX(AFP Emulator)

Receives the print data from host to generate a form for WPM Web Server

Features of WPM Web Server

WPM Web Server

WPM Web Server provides HTML pages with Java applet on the request of client. By manipulating the Java applet page on Web Browser, an user receives information from WPM Web Server and views the form lists. And an user can view, search, print the form selected from the list.

Besides, data transmission between WPM Web Server and WPM Browser is encrypted with SSL for full security.1 These features are usually available for customers unconsciously.

WPM Browser

WPM Browser is a screen program seen through PC. It consists of Java screen and views the form on the screen receiving the data from WPM Web Server. WPM Browser needs to be connected online to center. WPM Browser is available by selecting URL specified by Web Browser and passing log-in authentication.

*1 For SSL connection (HTTPS connection), Tivoli Access Manager is required separately. Only HTTP connection is supported between Tivoli Access Manager and WPM Web Server.

Features of WPM AFP Emulator

WPM AFP Emulator is a virtual printer system that emulates the past outputs from center on AIX server or Windows server, offering a highly reliable operation and security. In addition, you have only to change the traditional output address as well as to minimize the effects on the existing operation. You have never to change the application. Followings are the features summarized:

● Minimize the effects on the existing operation - Current application needs not be changed for migration to WPM. A package (option) for sorting / controlling electronic forms is also provided.

● Minimize the migration process- If being already AFP environment, no migration process is necessary. Extensive migration tool for the third-party printer will provide smooth migration.

● Efficiency of operation- Form resources(ex. overlay)are unified for an electronic forms printer or a center printer. For output, either a virtual printer (WPM) or an actual printer can be seamlessly selected.

● Improvement of operational reliability and security- Thorough receiving management (Intelligent receiving) system is provided. Compatibility to paper forms is also provided.

2 Setup Environment2.1 Browser and JREBefore you use the WPM (Workstation PrintManager) Web, you must set up the operating environment. Make sure that you have the following operating environment:

● Microsoft Internet Explorer(TM) V7.0, V8.0 or V9.0● Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 14 or later, JRE 6 Update 10 or later,

or JRE7 Update 15 or later1

If the above programs are not installed, install them now.2

2.2 Setting ProxyTo connect to the WPM Web server from a WPM client, set the Proxy server used by the Java applet.

On the Start Menu, click the Settings and then Control Panel. On the Control Panel window, double-click the icon for the Java plug-in. The following screen appears.

2.2.1 When Using the Local ConnectionIf you can connect to the WPM Web server without going through a Proxy server--for instance, if the WPM Web server is inside your Intranet--uncheck Use browser settings. Then you can get highspeed access to the server.

2.2.2 Using the Proxy serverTo get access to the WPM Web server through a Proxy server that is already specified for the browser, check Use browser settings.

To get access to the WPM Web server through a Proxy server that is not specified for the browser, or by using autoscript, uncheck Use browser settings. Then set the proxy settings in the Java Plug-in dialog box.

*1 Please contact with your system administrator which JRE version should be installed. *2 Note: At present, only the Java plug-in offered by Oracle Corporation is supported. You can download this

plug-in from the web site of Oracle Corporation.

2.3 Printing or Exporting to FileBefore you print a form displayed by using the WPM Web server, export it to a file, create My Folder, or copy text from a text box to the clipboard (for a cut and paste), you must authorize the Java applet program to get access to the local environment.1

This authorizes only the Java applet supplied by the WPM Web server; it does so by modifying the policy file of the Java Plug-in.

2.3.1 Setting the Printer DriverWhile a form is being printed, the size of the file spooled in the printer spool may become large depending on the setting of the printer driver. Before you perform a print operation, change the setting of the printer driver as follows on the operating system (OS) you are using.2

To set the format of the print data to RAW instead of EMF, do the following:

1. Click the right mouse button on the printer icon. A pop-up menu appears.2. Select Properties. The Printer Properties window appears.3. If the following Advanced tab page does not appear, select the General tab.4. Select the Print Processor button on the following tab page.

5. The Print Processor window appears. Select “RAW” in the Default Datatype.

*1 In general, for security, the Java applet cannot read or print local data on the client PC.*2 If this setting is not acceptable for the target printer, create another printer object for the WPM Web, using

the same printer driver. Set up and use this printer.

Reference

NT-EMF Format (Document Defaults)

This is an intermediate data format used by most Windows NT applications. It is also called the Metafile format.

Advantages:

• The control returns to the application quickly.• An intermediate data format is independent of the type of printer used.

Disadvantages:

• The data size of the spooled data may become large enough to degrade performance.

RAW Format

The data format is similar to the format of the language the printer driver supports.

Advantages:

• The data size of the spooled data is acceptable.• The stress to the print server can be reduced.

Disadvantages:

• It takes a while until the control returns to the application.

Fix Definition

By pushing this button, Paper Definition window appears in order to define the paper definition. Please refer to Defining a Paper for more detail.

Paper Type / Paper Size

Select the paper size to print. To print on a standard size paper, select one of the size in the Paper Type field. To print on a nonstandard size paper, select one from the User Custom in the Paper Type field and specify the real paper size (Width and Height) in the Paper Size field. (Paper Size can be specified only when User Custom is selected as the Paper Type.)

The standard size papers are:

● A4, B4, A3, B5, A5, Letter, Legal, Ledger, and Postcard.

The nonstandard size papers are:

● User Custom(1), User Custom(2), and User Custom(3).

The default value of Paper Type is A4.

The default size of the User Custom Paper Size is same as A4 paper.

And, new paper size can be defined by Paper definition. Please refer to “Defining a Paper" for more detail.

Automatic Adjustment

You can print a form adjusting the actual size of the form (the paper size when the form was received) into other size reflecting the paper size to print, the unprintable areas, and the margins (enlarge or scale-down). You can select one of the following in the Automatic Adjustment field. The default value is No Adjustment.

No Adjustment: Print the form as is. (Print in the actual size of the form.)

Fit in Width1:Print the form adjusting to fit in the width of the paper selected.

Fit in Height 2:Print the form adjusting to fit in the height of the paper selected.

Fit in both Width and Height:Print the form adjusting to fit in both the width and the height of the paper selected.

When you print a Matched Records List or print the form list, however, “No Adjustment”is used if you have specified other option.

Margins

You can set the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margins at values from 5.0 mm (the default) to 99.9 mm. When the form is printed, the contents are adjusted to fit within those margins on whatever paper size you have selected.

Margins you set here are used only if you have specified Suppress in Suppress Page Setup Dialog at Printing. Also, if Automatic Adjustment is set to No adjustment, all margins are set at 0 mm.

Offset Adjustment

You can set Offset values for a form, using X and Y coordinates – X from left to right, Y from top to bottom. Such settings control the position at which printing starts on the paper. The range of each coordinate is from -99.9 to +99.9 mm. You can make such settings only if Automatic Adjustment is set to No Adjustment.

Because margins are usually set when a form is designed, you will seldom need to adjust them. However, if a form does not fit on a page without automatic adjustment, you may need to specify a negative value.

Make these settings carefully. Otherwise the printing may run off the side or bottom of the paper.

3.4.2 Defining a PaperYou can define paper in this dialog box.

Paper definition is to save the settings as names in advance, that are frequently used such as paper size, orientation, and margins. You can define them in the dialog box described below. You can open this box with "Modify Definition" button on Paper tab page of "Print Style".

*1 The printing may run off the bottom of the paper.*2 The printing may run off the side of the paper.

Handling Colored Overlay

If the forms contain colored overlays and page segments (images), you must specify Color Printing or Black and White Printing to print them. You must set this to match the printer you are using.

If you select Color Printing and print the form on a color printer, the colored overlays and page segments are printed in the colors shown on the screen. If you select Black and White Printing and print the form on a color or monochrome printer, the colored overlays and page segments are printed in black and white. If you select Color Printing and print the form on a monochrome printer, the colored overlays and page segments are printed in grayscale. The default is Black and White Printing.

Processing Page Segments

A faint image of the net might be printed in the rectangle area containing all the images (page segment) in a form. To avoid this, specify Paste Images Directly at printing.

40

Page 41: WPM Web Server v3.2 Users' Guidewpm.b2b.mazda.co.jp/wpmuser_en.pdf · 1Welcome to the WPM Web 1.1WPM Product Overview 1.1.1 Advantages of Web-Compliant Electronic Form System WPM

Note

This is recognized as a Java plug-in problem. Usually in printing, once all images are developing on the graphic screen, they are put on the graphics to be printed, to improve system performance. To avoid printing an unwanted image, paste images directly to the graphics to be printed. This method makes the printing slow.

Printing a Marker, a Stamp, or a Comment

The Edit function adds a marker, a stamp, and a comment. You can specify whether to print them on the printout.

To have them left off the printout, select not Print. The default is Print.

Printing Overlay

You can specify whether to print a overlay contained in a form. If you select not Print, the overlay is not printed. You can use this option to print texts only on the paper an overlay is pre-printed. The default is Print.

Scaling the print size of Matched Records List

The Matched Records List is a result when you perform Search with Cell Definition specifying Matched Records List to the Search Results Format field. The Automatic Adjustment becomes ineffective since the width of each line differs by the number of characters on each line. Consequently, you should adjust the scaling size as needed when you print the Matched Records List.

Print Direction for Matched Records List and Form List

You can specify the print orientation which is used when the Matched Records List or Form List is printed. Default is “portrait”.

3.4.5 Setting OthersOn the Others tab page, you can set the other settings for printing.

Printing Multiple Forms

If you select multiple forms on the Form List for printing, you must specify whether a Print dialog box is to be displayed for every form.

If you select Process each form with pause, the Print dialog box appears each time a form is about to be printed. This enables you to change the print specifications for each form except for Copies, Color, and Duplex. The specifications of WPM default printer selected on Select Printer are used for those.

If you select Process multiple forms without pause, the Print dialog box appears only for the first form. All forms are printed with the specifications on the dialog. You can select “All”only for Print range on the dialog.

The default value is Process each form with pause.

Printing Search Results (Pages)

If you select multiple pages on the Search Results list (a list of the page that match the search conditions), you must specify whether a Print dialog box is to be displayed for every page.

If you select Process each form with pause, the Print dialog box appears each time a page is about to be printed. This enables you to change the print specifications for each form except for Copies, Color, and Duplex. The specifications of WPM default printer selected

● Defining a Cell

● Search with Cell Definition

Defining a Cell

The user with authorization to define cells1 can create a Cell Definition File used for searching with cell definition.

By defining cells in a form that is in table format, you can search for data within the form by specifying a search condition for each cell. A cell is a rectangular area within a form that uses the same overlay throughout the pages. Enclosing an area with a rectangle means that you specified the enclosed data items.

By specifying one or more search conditions corresponding to the attributes of each cell (character string, number, or date data type), you can search all the records that have cells matching the search conditions. (A record is a block consisting of multiple cells; each line in a table is a record.) Then you can print those records, or export those to a file as a comma-delimited format (CSV file).

The information defined as a cell is stored in a Cell Definition File. This file is referred by the WPM AFP Emulator for Web when it receives a form from the host system and stores the form as a proper format for searching with cell definition. It is also referred by the WPM Web server when searching with cell definition is performed.

The maximum number of cells that can be defined in one Cell Definition File is 5000.

Cell Definition File

To create, update, or delete a Cell Definition File, do the following:

1. From the Form List, select a form you want to define a Cell, and display the form.2. Do either of the following:

● Click on the toolbar.● On the menu bar, select View Window and Cell Definition.

Search with Cell Definition

Using the Cell Definition1 defined for a form, you can search within a form or multiple forms by specifying the search conditions for each cell. You can search within a single form, or even within a specified range of pages in a form. You can also search within multiple forms in one or more Folders. You can search with Cell Definition from one of the Folder List, the Form List, or the View Window.

To search from the Folder List, select a folder you want to search, and do one of the following:

● On the menu bar, selecting Folder List, Search with Cell Definition, and Selected Folder Only or Folder List, Search with Cell Definition, and Includes Sub-Folders.

● Click the right mouse button. On the pop-up menu that appears, search with Cell Definition and Selected Folder Only or search with Cell Definition and Includes Sub-Folders.

* Selected Folder Only cannot be specified for the dummy folder (a gray folder in which the form list is not displayed).

From the Folder List, you can search all of the forms either within the only selected folder, or within the selected folder and its sub-folders.2 In this case, you cannot specify the page range to be searched, and consequently all the pages will be searched. If the folder contains a form having a different Cell Definition, the search will end in an error.

To search from the Form List, select the form or multiple forms you want to search, and do one of the following:

● On the menu bar, select Form List, Search with Cell Definition, and New.

● Click on the toolbar.● Click the right mouse button. On the pop-up menu that appears, select Search with

Cell Definition. From the Form List, you can search single or multiple forms. If you select only a single form, you can specify the page range to be searched. If you select multiple forms, you cannot specify the page range, and consequently all the pages will be searched.

If the folder contains a form having a different Cell Definition, the search will end in an error. You can select a maximum of 256 forms on the Form List.

To search from the View Window, select a window of the form you want to search, and make it the foreground window in the View Window frame. Then do either of the following:

● On the menu bar, select View Window and Search with Cell Definition.● Click the right mouse button. On the pop-up menu that appears, select Search with

Cell Definition.From the View Window, you can search only the form you have selected. You can specify the page range to be searched.

3.5.7 Exporting to FileA user with Export Authority can export files.

● Exporting to Text File

● Export to CSV File

● Copy the contents to the clipboard

Exporting to Text File

The user with export authority1 can download the contents of a form or the search results to a local disk of client PC as a PC file.2

The text is exported in the same line if the difference of the baseline position is in an 8-dot.

Exporting the Contents of a Form

You can export the contents of a form from either of the Form List or the View Window.

To export from the Form List, select the form you want to export, and do either of the following:

● On the menu bar, select Form List and Export to File.● Click the right mouse button. On the pop-up menu that appears, select Export to

File.To export from the View Window, select a window of the form you want to export, and make it the foreground window in the View Window frame. Then do either of the following:

● On the menu bar, select View Window and Export to File.● Click the right mouse button. On the pop-up menu that appears, select Export to

File.The following dialog box appears.

To export the contents of a form to a file, do the following:

1. On the Export Form to File dialog box, specify the page range to export to a file, and select OK. Check "The most frequently used font is the basis," to export a file basically using a font pitch of the most frequently used font in the page. Without a check to this option, the file is exported basically using a font pitch of the most frequently used font in the text block.3

*1 Unless you have export authority, you cannot select any menus related to the export function. Authority is given by the system administrator to each user.

*2 To export to a file, Java applet should be accessible to the local computer. For details, refer to “Printing or Exporting to File”.

*3 The text block means the one block of text sent form the host system. Data of the following kind is

77

Copied Text data

Basically, if a character is partially included in the rectangle, it can be copied.

The copied data is CSV format, each field represents a text block which sent from the host system. Therefore, after the data is pasted into other applications, maybe the order and the breakpoint of the text are different from what you see in WPM browser.

About the paste, there are cases that the original format is automatically changed by the application you paste to, like Excel. Previously setting the cells format of Excel to Text should avoid these phenomenons.

The data size that can be copied one time is limited by the server setting or the memory size that Java Plug-in can use. If the data size you selected is over the limit size set by the server, only the data of this maximum size can be copied, the exceeded part will be cut. The following message dialog will show you your data size is over, and how many pages you have copied.

4 Troubleshooting4.1 Cannot print the overlay with the color displayedTo see colored overlays and page segments on a form displayed in the View Window, specify a color when the WPM AFP Emulator for Web receives the forms from the host system. To print the form on a color printer, go to the Others tab page of the Print Style window, and specify Color Printing for Handling Colored Overlay.

The overlays and page segments are displayed in the color specified by modification of a layer to help to distinguish them from the raw data, even if color is not specified (or black is specified) for the overlays and page segments. But such forms are printed in the original black even on a color printer.

When you want to print a form with colored overlays and page segments, consult your system administrator. The color must be specified on the WPM AFP Emulator for Web before the forms are received from the host system.

4.2 Some characters of the header or footer are missingThe WPM Web prints a header and footer at the left, center, or right of a printable area based on the unprintable area information from the printer.

When the WPM Web receives an information of the unprintable area, the Java program receives the information of the default printer, not the client-specified printer. If the information of the unprintable area for the default printer differs from the one for the specified printer, a part of the characters of the header or footer may be lost.

This problem can be corrected with this version of Java, if the same print dialog is displayed twice. However, since this process is cumbersome, we do not support its use. If such a problem occurs, we recommend that you specify the printer used for printing as the default printer until the bug in Java is fixed.

4.3 Message "Resource is temporarily unavailable."During operation, you may find the message "Resource is temporarily unavailable." You may find this message in the following cases:

● User and Group registration by administrator● Another user edits the form, such as placing a Marker, Imprinting a Stamp, and

Adding a comment.When you find this message, please retry your operation after some moments.

5 Notes5.1 Memory usage and Memory setting of WPM clientAs WPM client is a Java applet and it has the memory size limitation (up to 64 MB on default setting), you may have a memory shortage error in the following cases.

• View a form with the size, Maximum, Fit Page, Fit Width, or Fit Height1

• Have many folders with complex tree structure

• Take logs

If you have this trouble, increase memory size for Java by specifying Java run-time parameter in Java Control panel.2 The example below increases to 128MB.

-Xmx128m

In another way, if you use JRE 6 update 10 or later and enable the Next-Generation Java Plug-in by [Java Control Panel] – [Advanced] tab – [Java Plug-in], you can increase the memory size by adding the following to <Object> tag of Java applet.

<PARAM name=”java_arguments” value=”-Xmx128m”>

Please refer to Notes when you use JRE 6 for setting the Next-Generation Java Plug-in.

5.2 Operation spanning two daysIf you continue using the WPM Web past midnight3, you must log-in again. This is because the security key is changed every day.

When your accesses to the WPM Web server for the first time past midnight, you will receive an error message such as "Cannot communicate with the server". Simply log-in to the WPM Web server again.

5.3 Java Plug-ins supportedWPM Web V3.2 supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 14 or later, JRE 6 Update 10 or later, and JRE 7 Update 15 or later45 supplied by Oracle Corporation. You can download JRE from the web site of Oracle Corporation with no charge.

We do not guarantee the operation of JRE nor answer any question about it.

*1 You may have a memory shortage error , or incorrect form viewing. If you have this problem, close other forms window and then view the form again, or view the form with smaller size. It can decrease memory usage.

*2 You should restart Internet Explorer and all other programs using JRE to activate the changes.*3 Precisely, the clock of the PC on which the WPM Web server is running changes its date.*4 Recommend the latest update for vulnerability management. *5 Oracle Corporation no more provide general support for JRE 5 nor 6 . Please note it.

5.3.1 Notes when you use JRE 5 IE may appear in front of Java applet when a Java applet dialog box is displayed and then closed.

5.3.2 Notes when you use JRE 6The Next-Generation Java Plug-in is newly implemented from JRE 6 Update 10. You can choose to use it or not by [Java Control Panel] – [Advanced] tab – [Java Plug-in]. In the Internet Explorer the new plug-in is automatically enabled for running applets during installation of the JRE.

However, in rare cases, this new plug-in cannot produce Applet correctly or show Applet quickly just after Applet is loaded. In that case, please disable the new plug-in and try to access again.

About the setting of the Next-Generation Java Plug-in, please refer to http://www.java.com/ja/download/help/new_plugin.xml

5.3.3 Notes when you use JRE 7 JRE 7 has the known problems as below.

Mixed Japanese(Double-Bytes-Characters) and half-width alphanumeric in Header, Footer, or Comment cause overlapped printing

When you specify a header or footer (by [Print Style]->[Header/Footer]) with mixed characters of Japanese and half-width alphanumeric, its print may be overlapped.

Mixed characters in comment may have the same problem.

Cause of problem

JRE 7 causes this problem.

JRE 7 resets print position incorrectly to the start position every time it changes a font in character strings, and it causes the problem.

Workaround

Find the following lines in fontconfig.properties file1 at Java's lib directory (Default: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\ ).

sequence.serif.windows-31j=alphabetic,japanese,dingbats,symbol

sequence.sansserif.windows-31j=alphabetic,japanese,dingbats,symbol

sequence.monospaced.windows-31j=japanese,alphabetic,dingbats,symbol

sequence.dialog.windows-31j=alphabetic,japanese,dingbats,symbol

sequence.dialoginput.windows-31j=alphabetic,japanese,dingbats,symbol

*1 If this file not exist, please copy and rename fontconfig.properties.src in the same directory.

109

Change them as below.

sequence.serif.windows-31j=japanese,alphabetic,dingbats,symbol

sequence.sansserif.windows-31j=japanese,alphabetic,dingbats,symbol

sequence.monospaced.windows-31j=japanese,alphabetic,dingbats,symbol

sequence.dialog.windows-31j=japanese,alphabetic,dingbats,symbol

sequence.dialoginput.windows-31j=japanese,alphabetic,dingbats,symbol

The above lines make Japanese the highest priority at selecting font, and it resolve the overlap.

Alphanumeric may be printed or displayed with different character form as Japanese font is used also for it.

5.4 Notes on PrintingFor printing, the behavior of printer driver could vary greatly. You are recommended to introduce it after thorough test with attention to the followings:

5.4.1 Behavior of Printer Driver when Changing the Printer to PrintWhen you run printing, the printer driver modifies the settings (ex. paper size) such that the printer currently specified can print for the current form. If you change the printer to print, printer driver may hold the previous settings and may not print under the proper settings. In such a case, please specify the printer for WPM to print on the Select Printer menu in advance.

5.4.2 Paper Definition of OS & WPMIf you specify the decimal number (ex. 11.33 inch) for paper size to print, there may have some restrictions on describing the value to specify the paper definition of OS (Setting by server property) depending on internal data holding. In this case, please refer to the printer driver manuals.

When paper definition (height) of OS and that of WPM is equal, especially when the decimal number (ex.11.33 inch) is specified, some printer drivers may print the extra blank sheet. In this case, you can solve this by making the paper size of printer a minimum unit (0.01 inch) larger.

For example;

Printer paper size : 13 x 11.33 inch → 13 x 11.34 inch

WPM paper size : 13 x 11.33 inch

5.5 Cannot display number of print pages correctlyWhile a job is being printed, a Print dialog box with a progress bar appears. If you print only a limited range of pages from a form, the scale on the progress bar shows the print status for the entire form. That is, if you specify that pages 1-3 of a 20-page form are to be printed, the progress bar shows the print status for all 20 pages. As soon as pages 1-3 have been printed, however, the dialog box disappears. This occurs because the WPM Web cannot obtain the page range specified on the previous dialog box that is a Java common dialog box.

You can safely ignore this anomaly; it does not affect the actual printing. We could correct it, but to do so would slow the printing.

5.6 Form selection at printingIf Suppress is checked in the Page Setup Dialog box at Setting Others, the form is printed in the specified paper size in the Paper Type field on the Paper tab page of Print Style. Since Java can pass only the paper size information to the printer, you may not be able to print on the correct paper size on some printers. 1 For instance, the printer may require letter-size paper even though you specified A3 or B4.

In such a case, do not check Suppress in Page Setup Dialog box and specify the paper size in the Page Setup dialog box.

5.7 Font size of Comment at printingYou can print a character string added as a comment on a form by choosing Adding a Comment over the original form. The added character strings may become longer or shorter than the one you are viewing on the form displayed on the View Window.

This occurs because the font size of the displayed character string is scaled to fit the Viewing Size of the displayed form. The character string is displayed in the closest font size available on your PC.

To find out the exact position where the comment will be printed, specify Medium viewing size in Changing the Viewing Size.

5.8 Cell Definition / Specifications and RestrictionsThe specification and the restrictions of the Cell Definition and Searching with Cell Definition are as follows.

Cell Definition● A form can only use one Cell Definition. That is, if a form has more than one format,

the same Cell Definition is applied to this form.● A Cell Definition needs at least one item that has a data in a rectangular area. You

cannot search a Cell Definition using key only.● You can define 500 cells in maximum, but we recommend to define less than 100,

for easy to use.● You can define item repeatedly down below or right .● Each Cell Definition has only one determination how many items repeats with how

many clearance.● You cannot define a cell that expands to more than two lines. In this case, you

should define each cell separately.

*1 On a printer that can select proper sizes, forms are printed on the paper size closest to the one you specified on the printer driver.

Search with Cell Definition● The purpose of searching with Cell Definition is searching an item, otherwise key is

used to specify a page. So that, if an item does not contains a data, no record will be selected. Also you cannot get the detail lines contains keys, even if you specify blank search and if all items are blank.

● A blank search for items is used to find whether any items are remain in blank. If all the items are blank, nothing will be searched for a result.

● When the record is created, single-byte spaces before and after a character string are deleted.

5.9 Consideration for Closing WPMTo close WPM, make sure to do either of the followings:

● Select "Operation" and "Close"● Press close button of top right of the window.

If you close browser without this process, then closing cannot be correctly processed.

5.10 Backward compatibility of settings files.The client setting file(*.PRO) and my folder's data file(*.MY3) which are saved in local PC in WPM Web V3.1 are not backward compatible with the setting files from WPM Web V2.1. WPM Web V2.1 cannot read and use the data files of WPM Web V3.1.
