Select CPI
This parameter allows you to specify the characters per inch (cpi) values. The standard options are 10.0,
12.0, 13.3, 15.0, 17.1, and 20.0. The factory default is 10.0 CPI. Some special additions for certain
firmware types:
•
6.0 CPI is also available for the Indian Language firmware.
•
16.7 and 18 CPI are also available for the ASCII firmware.
Select LPI
This parameter allows you to specify the lines per inch (lpi) values.
•
ASCII: The options are 6.0, 8.0, 9.0 and 10.3 LPI. The factory default is 6.0 LPI.
•
Indian Language: All ASCII options are available with additional options 3.0, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 LPI.
•
H-Series: The options are 6.0 or 8.0 LPI. The factory default for the Hanzi and Hangul LP+ is 6.0.
The factory default for Kanji LP+ is 8.0.
P-Series SFCC
This parameter allows you to select which ASCII codes will function as the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC) command delimiter.
P-Series codes can use hex 00 through hex 7F. Options include the following:
•
SOH (hex 01) (factory default)
•
ESC (hex 1B)
•
ETX (hex 03)
•
CIRCUMFLEX (hex 5E) – also called caret (^)
•
TILDE (hex 7E) – (~)
NOTE: SOH, ETX, and ESC are non-printables. The characters (^) and (~) are printable; however, do not
use them as printables in the host data stream if either is chosen as a delimiter because print
errors will occur.

Left Margin. Set in columns. Column zero is defined as the far left edge of the page, and column
numbering increments from left to right.
•
Right Margin. Set in columns. Column zero is defined as the far right edge of the page, and column
numbering increments from right to left.
•

from the bottom up.
Form Length
Form length is the number of lines that can be printed on a page. You can set the form length in inches,
millimeters (mm), or as a function of the current lpi (lines per inch).
Form Width
The form width can be specified in inches, millimeters, or as a function of the current cpi (characters per
inch). The forms width set should not exceed the actual paper width.
