– The NUMBER OF LINES Sub-option gives you the possibility to define the logical form
length as a number of lines. This length comes then from the following formula:
Form length (inches) = Vertical pitch (lpi) x Number of lines
(unit conversion is automatic if you define the vertical pitch unit as lpcm)
Note:
- The maximum authorized form length is 21 inches.
- The TOP MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN Options do not depend on the
VERTICAL PITCH Option when you define the form length using the NUMBER
OF LINES Sub-option.

Left Margin

The LEFT MARGIN Option is defined by the number of the columns (numbered from the left
paper edge) where the printing actually starts. The values range between Column #1 and
Column #272.

Form Width

The FORM WIDTH Option lets you set the correct page width in inches. The available values are
8, 13.2 and 13.6 inches. The Factory setting of the Value is 13.6 inches.
Note:
The current value of the LEFT MARGIN Option is set to Column #1 each time you
change the value of the HORIZONTAL PITCH Option. This new setting applies only
for the corresponding protocol.

Top Margin

The TOP MARGIN Option lets you set the top margin with the number of the line (numbered
from the top paper edge) where the printing actually starts.
The setting of this Option depends on the setting of both the VERTICAL PITCH and the FORM
LENGTH Options (see the corresponding related sections in this chapter).
The Values range from Line #1 to the Value corresponding to the BOTTOM MARGIN setting.
Line #1 is the Factory setting of the Value.

Bottom Margin

The BOTTOM MARGIN Option gives you the possibility to set the bottom margin with the
number of the line (numbered from the top paper edge) where the printing actually stops for a
given page.
The setting of this Option depends on the setting of both the VERTICAL PITCH and the FORM
LENGTH Options (see the corresponding related sections in this chapter).
The Values range from the Value for TOP MARGIN to the Value for FORM LENGTH.
