Setting Forms Length

P6000L/P6200L Series printers may use continuous, tractor-fed paper with the forms length
set in inches (between 1.0 and 24.0) or lines (between 1 and 192 at 6 or 8 lines per inch). Setting
the forms length in lines at 6 or 8 lpi does not change the line spacing. The printer has been
preset for standard 11-inch length paper. Therefore, when using alternate length paper, the
top-of-form setting and the forms length setting must be changed to match the alternate
length. To set the forms length:
1.
Place the printer offline.
2.
Simultaneously press RUN/STOP TEST and CONFIG MENU to unlock the printer con
figuration.
3.
Press FORMS LENGTH; the display will show the current FORMS LENGTH SET IN
INCHES.
4.
Continuously pressing FORMS LENGTH will step the display through the following op
tions: FORMS LENGTH SET IN 6 LPI LINES, FORMS LENGTH SET IN 8 LPI
LINES, and FORMS LENGTH SET IN INCHES. Choose the appropriate setting, per
form the corresponding instructions, and then save the selected forms length.
To set the forms length in inches:
5.
Press FORMS LENGTH until FORMS LENGTH SET IN INCHES is displayed.
