Form Length
Specifies the form length in lines. The maximum form length in lines depends on the current LPI setting; it
is equal to the maximum form length in inches multiplied by the current LPI setting. For example, at 6 LPI
the maximum form length is 6 LPI x 24 inches = 144 lines.
Only valid form length values will be accepted. If you select a length that is larger than the maximum
length for the current LPI, the maximum length will be used. If you need a longer page length, you must
first change the LPI.
IMPORTANT
If the form length is set in lines and you change the LPI, the effective page length
changes to the form length in characters divided by the new LPI.
NOTE: Receipt of a data stream control code which changes the form length overrides the form length
previously specified via the operator panel.
Form Width
Allows you to input the form width in characters from 1 through 272. The maximum form width in
characters depends on the current CPI setting; it is equal to the maximum form width in inches multiplied
by the current CPI setting.
Only valid form 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.
Table 12 lists the maximum number of characters that can be printed for a given Characters Per Inch
(CPI) setting.
IMPORTANT
If the form width is set in characters and the CPI is changed, the effective page
width is changed to be equal to the form width in characters divided by the new
CPI.
Define CR Code
The Define CR Code option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Carriage Return code
(hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each time the printer receives a carriage
return, it inserts an additional Line Feed code (hex 0A) into the data stream. Do not use this feature if the
host computer sends line feeds to the printer.
•
CR = CR (factory default). No extra line feeds are inserted.
•
CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return.
