Forms Width
FORMS WIDTH specifies the forms width in inches, millimeters or characters.
All three measurements will update the same configuration parameter. The
default values for forms width are 13.6 inches, 345.4 mm and 136 characters.
NOTE: The default values for forms width are 13.2 inches, 335.5 mm and
Descriptions follow for the three ways of specifying the forms width:
Forms Width In Inches
Allows you to input the forms width in inches. Valid values range from 00.1
through 13.6 inches, in increments of 0.1 inch.
Forms Width In MM
Allows you to input the forms width in millimeters. Valid values range from .1
through 345.4, in increments of tenths of a millimeter (0.1 mm).
Forms Width In Characters
Allows you to input the forms width in characters. The maximum forms width
in characters depends on the current CPI setting; it is equal to the maximum
forms width in inches multiplied by the current CPI setting.
For example, at 10 CPI, the maximum forms width is:
10 CPI x 13.6 inches = 136 characters.
Only valid forms width values will be accepted. If a width is selected that is
larger than the maximum width for the current CPI, then the maximum width
will be used. If a larger width value is desired, then the CPI value must be
changed first.
NOTE: To select forms width in characters greater than 132 characters for
236
132 characters when P-Series, Coax/Twinax, IGP, Code V, or IPDS
are installed.
FORMS WIDTH IN INCHES and FORMS WIDTH IN MM selections
are not available with the Coax/Twinax or IPDS emulation. The only
variable available with the Coax/Twinax and IPDS emulation is
FORMS WIDTH IN CHARACTERS.
coax/twinax, you must first change maximum printable width to 13.6
inches.
Receipt of a data stream control code that changes the page width
overrides the page width previously specified via the operator panel.
