nCHOOSING THE PAGE LENGTH AND NUMBER OF LINES PER PAGE

Your printer is preset to print 66 lines per page on an 11-inch form,

 

but you can reconfigure these settings either through DIP switch l-2

 

(“on” for 11-inch forms, “off” for 12-inch forms), or by entering the

 

proper codes illustrated in Table 5-2.

 

When you send the code to control the page length in inches, you

 

can substitute for “n” any number between 1 and 32. All subsequent

 

pages will be printed in the same page format until you turn off the

 

printer or send a code to cancel this setting.

 

You can also set the page length by programming in the number

 

of lines per page. Using the codes given in Table 5-2, you may instruct

 

the printer to print any number of lines per page from 1 to 127.
