PAPER
A choice out of three different paper sizes can be made:
A4
LETTER
CUSTOM
.
If
A4
or
LETTER
is selected the printer automatically sets all parameters
which define the allocation of the print image on a page. Those parameter
values are in accordance to the PCL5 definition.
In case of A4 the contents of an A4 page is printed asymmetrically onto a
12 inch form which leads to a larger bottom margin than top margin.
In case of LETTER the page contents are printed onto an 11 inch form.
Note:
If the paper size is changed from one format into another the printer
selects the default values of the format describing parameters
(PAPER LENGTH, IMAGE WIDTH etc.) which belong to the choosen
paper size.
Paper size (PAPER) can be selected at the control panel or by
means of PCL- or PJL-commands from the host system (see also
PAPER SELECTION ).

Note for PP 4050:
In case of forms with paper length > 13.5 inch (345.45
mm) the data buffer of 16 MB might not be sufficient to
ensure a continuous printing. In those applications an
additional memory module of minimum 16 MB must be
inserted.
S LENGTH FACTOR
1)
The length factor divides the physical paper length into an integer multiple of
logical pages.
A physical page is printed when its pertaining last logical page is completed
with a Form Feed command. If the number of logical pages isn’t a multiple of
the
LENGTH FACTOR , the contents of the residual logical pages will remain
in the printer. The functions CUT FORM or FORM FEED in the OFFLINE
MENU and the functions AUTO FORM FEED or AUTOMATIC CUT in the
GENERAL MENU cause the printer to print the residual logical pages and to
feed the paper in the raster of a physical page.
Example:
The PAPER LENGTH is 12 inch and the LENGTH FACTOR is 3 .
That means the application prints three logical pages of 4 inch
each on one physical page.
The range is 1 up to 20 logical pages per physical page.
