The printer prints up to 66 lines at 6.25 LPI (the line spacing is
compressed slightly to fit). The System/36 allows only 65 lines per page. If
you get one or two lines at the top of the next page, it’s usually because you
have formatted more lines per page than can be printed.

Configure the printer’s setup to the paper size you use most. The MPP and
font must match the paper size exactly to work correctly. The Card
recognizes only the following paper sizes:
Letter Paper
8.5 x 11 in. (215.9 x 279.4 mm)
A4 Paper
8.27 x 11.69 in. (210 x 297 mm)
Legal Paper
8.5 x 14 in. (215.9 x 355.6 mm)
Executive Paper 7.25 x 10.5 in. (184.2 x 266.7 mm)
11" x 17" Paper
11 x 17 in.(279.4 x 431.8 mm)
A3 Paper
11.69 x 16.54 in.(297 x 420 mm)
If you choose paper of any other dimensions in the word-processing
program, the Card ignores your choice and continues using the previous
paper size.
You can also perform a paper-size override through a host/PC-download
command or a front-panel selection, as described in
Chapter 5
. As
described in the entry for command 09, Paper Size, on page 24, the “Size
selected on front panel” argument causes the Card to use whatever paper
size is currently selected on the printer’s front panel; the “A4 Size”
argument causes the Card to use A4 paper only.
With A4 paper selected, 10 CPI fonts will print as 10.3 CPI. This allows
80 columns to be printed in portrait orientation on A4 paper.
The following steps describe how to select legal-size paper in
