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 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 4 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.
