You can now send your letter from your word processing program to the
printer and feed in those pages. When you're done, you may want to send the
<ESC> E command one more time.
4.3 PAGE ORIENTATION
You might reasonably think of page orientation as a page formatting issue.
To print words widthwise on a page, however, each letter in effect has to lie
on its back. So orientation is actually a font attribute, and is treated as such
later on in this chapter.
4,3.1 Page Length
The multi-purpose tray sets the default page size for your laser printer. When
you want a different size, you'll need to reset that page size. You should
always change the page length be@-e you send text for printing. The Page
Length command sets the number of lines that can print on a page (lines per
inch times the number of inches).
The Page Length command format is:
<ESC> &~n P
where n is the number of text lines on the page; it can be any number between
5 and 128.
The default number of lines is the length of the paper tray times 6 lines per
inch. For 11-inch letter-size paper that works out to 66 lines (that's also the
default when you haven't put in a tray).
If you don't want the default length, you should send the Page Length
command bejtire you send text for printing. The table below should help
you pick the right number of lines. Decide which orientation and paper size
you want, then use the n under your preferred lines/inch:
46
