OFF*
Turns PCL edge-to-edge printing on or off.
ON
v OFF—the printer maintains a border of 4 mm on all four paper
v ON—The printer allows printing up to the physical page size.
Note: To avoid toner contaminating the printer, IBM recommends
leaving EDGE-EDGE set to OFF; use ON only when necessary.
nnn LINES
Specifies the number of lines per page the printer prints before it
starts a new page. nnn can be from 5 to 128. 60 is the default for
Letter-size paper; 64 is the default for A4-size paper.
Note: When you change FORM, the printer actually calculates a
new LPI (lines-per-inch) value, rather than an absolute value. This
means that if you change FORM for one page size, the printer
changes the FORM value for other page sizes. For example, if you
set FORM to 40 while LETTER is the default PAGESIZE, and you
then change PAGESIZE to A4, the new A4 FORM value will be 42,
not 40 (the value you set) or 64 (the printer default). To restore the
default values, either change FORM back to its original value or
enter the FACTORY DEFAULT item on the Test Menu.
INTERNAL*
Specifies which font source the printer checks first for a specified
DISK
font:
FLASH
v INTERNAL—use the printer's resident fonts first
SOFT
v DISK—use fonts stored on the printer hard drive first
v FLASH—use fonts stored on the flash SIMM first
v SOFT—use downloaded fonts first
nnn
Specifies the default font. nnn is the number of the font. The default
is 0. To display a list of available fonts and their corresponding
numbers, select PRINT PCL FONTS from the Test Menu. See
"Printing a List of PCL5e Fonts" on page 22 for more information.

Valid values are 4 to 999.75. The default is 12.

(raster). Valid values are .44 to 99.99. The default is 10.
