A-1.6 Support of Logical Pages and Physical Pages
One Physical Page can be spit up into a number of Logical Pages by the
parameter LENGTHFACTOR.
The page length must be configured or programmed according to the physical
length of one page to ensure proper function of the attached stacker. Up to 20
logical pages can be placed on one physical page. The length limit for an
attached stacker iPS 4050/4060 (minimum page length is 7 inch) is only valid
for the physical page length. Two Logical Pages of 6 inch can be printed on
physical paper with 12 inch length by setting LENGTHFACTOR = 2.
The following example shows the PJL commands for an application with image
width = 8.5 inch and a logical page length of 3 inch to be printed on a physical
page length of 12 inch:
ESC%-12345X@PJL SET PAPER = CUSTOM
@PJL SET IMAGEWIDTH = 8.5
@PJL SET PAGELENGTH = 12
@PJL SET LENGTHFACTOR = 4
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL
ESC E....PCL file page 1....FF....page 2....FF
....page3....FF ESC E....
Note:
PJL or PCL commands which are related to the physical page like paper
source, number of copies, and cut force a feeding of the paper to the top
of the next physical page.
These settings are valid until a PJL RESET condition. ( PJL SET
command)
