IMPORTANT
If the forms width is set in characters and the CPI is changed, the
effective page width is changed to be equal to the forms width in
characters divided by the new CPI. For example, if the current forms
width is 132 characters and the CPI is changed from 10 CPI to 15 CPI,
the effective forms width changes from 13.2 inches to 8.8 inches.
NOTE: This applies only if the forms width is set in characters. If the forms
width is set in inches or millimeters (mm), changing the CPI does not
affect the effective forms width.
Forms Length
FORMS LENGTH specifies the forms length in inches, millimeters or lines. All
three measurements will update the same configuration parameter. The
default values for forms length are 11 inches, 279.4 millimeters, or 66 lines
per page.
Descriptions follow for the three ways of specifying the forms length:
NOTE: The actual value displayed for forms length set in inches and mm can
be greater than the maximum values listed on the operator panel
because the number of lines can exceed actual inches and mm
values.
Forms Length In Inches
Allows you to input the forms length in inches. Valid values range from 00.1
through 24 inches, in increments of 0.1 inch. (This option not available for the
coax interface.)
Forms Length In MM
Allows you to input the forms length in millimeters. Valid values range from
000.1 through 609.6 millimeters, in increments of tenths of a millimeter
(0.1 mm). (This option not available for the coax interface.)
Forms Length In Lines
Allows you to input the forms length in lines. The maximum forms length in
lines depends on the current LPI setting; it is equal to the maximum forms
length in inches multiplied by the current LPI setting.
For example, at 6 LPI the maximum forms length is:
6 LPI x 24 inches = 144 lines
Only valid forms length values will be accepted. If you select a length that is
larger than the maximum length for the current LPI, the maximum length will
be used. If you need a longer page length, you must first change the LPI.
