{\bf Printer distortion test}
In this test, the lengths of the rules have been specified
as 3, 4, 5 and 6 inches; the same dimensions were specified
for both horizontal and vertical rules.
Any difference in the measured length of the rules on output
is a function of printer distortion. The Imagen 8/300 [Canon CX
engine] has an allowable distortion of up to 2\%. The Talaris
[Xerox XP-24 engine] can be adjusted to closer tolerances.
There should be no measureable distortion on the typesetter.
To check the current behavior of a printer, print out this file.
It is located in UTIL:DIMEN.DVI\thinspace.
If distortion exceeds the permissible values, ask Operations to
arrange for service.\endgraf
