Characters Per Inch
CHARACTERS PER INCH (CPI) specifies the number of characters that will
print per horizontal inch.
•
10.0 CHARACTERS PER INCH (the default)
•
12.0 CHARACTERS PER INCH
•
13.3 CHARACTERS PER INCH
•
15.0 CHARACTERS PER INCH
•
16.7 CHARACTERS PER INCH
•
17.1 CHARACTERS PER INCH
•
18.0 CHARACTERS PER INCH
•
20.0 CHARACTERS PER INCH
It is possible to specify a CPI value that causes the page width to exceed the
maximum physical page width. In this case, the printer automatically changes
the page width to the highest valid value for the new CPI.
When OCR A or OCR B is selected as the default print language, 10 CPI is
the only available value for this parameter. If a different CPI value is desired,
the print language must be changed first.
NOTE: Receipt of a data stream control code that specifies a CPI value
overrides any value entered via the operator panel.
Lines Per Inch
LINES PER INCH (LPI) specifies the number of lines that will print per vertical
inch.
•
6.0 LINES PER INCH (the default)
•
8.0 LINES PER INCH
•
10.3 LINES PER INCH
•
3.0 LINES PER INCH
•
4.0 LINES PER INCH
It is possible to specify an LPI value that causes the page length to exceed
the maximum allowed page length. In this case, the printer automatically
changes the page length to the highest valid value for the new LPI.
NOTE: Receipt of a data stream control that specifies the LPI value overrides
the value entered via the operator panel.
