Figure 2-1. Font and page orientation
The page on the 4213 is like a grid, with an origin, an x-axis, and
a y-axis. Data can be placed virtually anywhere on the grid of the
page. The basic unit of printable data is the pixel or dot, which is
also the basic unit of measure used in all commands that set
measurements.
The 4213 has a resolution of 300 dot-per-inch. Refer to appendix
B, "Conversion tables for units of measure" for conversions to
inches and millimetres. Figure 2-2 shows the origins, x-axis, y-
axis, and dimensions for pages created on short-edge feed
(letter, legal, A4) paper.
