font's mean character width is multiplied with. The value for the mean character
width is taken from the corresponding font's attributes (for texts which are printed
justified, it is suggested to raise this value up to about 2). For example, if the mean
character width of the font example shown here corresponds to the width of the
blank character (for other fonts it may be another sign). There is another text
passage found whose horizontal distance is even bigger than the first one's mean
character width, multiplied by factor 1.0. The two text passages are found to not
belong together.
l
Vertical distance: Indicates the biggest acceptable vertical distance between two
text passages so that they're still recognized as belonging together. This is the
factor the font's height and size is multiplied with. The value for the font's height
therefore is taken from the corresponding font's attributes. For example, if the height
of that font example in 10 point size is 0.32 cm. There is a passage found that is
positioned 0.15 cm above - which means 0.15/0.31 = 0.48 < 0.50 - the previous text
passage. So the two passages are not recognized as belonging together.

Windows Print Converter: Select this option if the task is to generate a Line Printer file.
This will prompt the task to perform the second phase of the process, and thus convert the
XML file to a Line Printer file. If this option is not selected, the output file will thus be an
XML file. The settings included in this group determine the format settings of the
generated Line Printer file.
