Printing in 4-page mode:
The number of pages sent to the Printer in 4-page mode, has to be a number that is possible to divide
by four. E.g. a document that contains 7 pages of text, must have one empty page added to get a total
of eight pages.
Those eight pages will fit on two sheets. (8 pages divided by 4 = 2 sheets).
Next, the text has to be sent to the Printer in the following sequence:
Page 1, 2, 7, 8, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
To be able to insert cover and Staple and Fold each copy of a document, the Printer also needs a com-
mand that will tell how many sheets the document contains. This command is an escape-sequence that
must be sent to the Printer in the beginning of the document. This is done by sending the ASCII value
no 27, then the letter P, and then the number of sheets.
E.g. in the example above, the command would look like this: escP02
(There is software on the market that will do the formatting automatically).
Here is some physical measurements to consider when adjusting the different settings :
Max. sheet height: 330 mm (13.0 inch) (This is the same as the width of the paper roll).
Max. sheet length: 584 mm (23.0 inch)
Min. sheet length: 417 mm (16.4 inch)
Max. no. of characters per. line: 44 char.
Margins are adjustable from 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) to 50.8 mm (2.0 inch) in 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) incre-
ments.
Note that it is not possible to use all combinations regarding line length and margins. E.g. if you set the
line length to 44 characters there is not enough room for wide margins too. So if the Printer receives a
document which is formatted outside the limits, the display will let you know.
