Selecting Print Features - Digital Equipment LA400plus User Manual

Selecting Print Features

There are three possibilities to select the print features you need for a specific print task:
• By customizing a Macro.
This allows you to alter the greatest number of print parameters. Within the Option list of the
Macros, you can define:
– the page layout (form dimensions, margins ...)
– the publishing style (font, character set, character spacing, line spacing, contrast of the
print-out ...)
– the printer behaviour (blank pages management, DEC mode management ...)
See Chapter 7 "Customizing a Macro" for more details.
• By using a printer driver.
This technique reduces the number of print parameters you can alter. Please note that the
parameters available in the printer driver dialog boxes override the corresponding parameters
of the printer Set-Up.
• By using the operator panel.
This allows you to alter the font and the horizontal pitch using the corresponding buttons. See
the following sections for details.
