Submenu PAPER MENU

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
).
