Canon BJ-200ex manual Printing in Landscape Orientation

Page 54

If you are using an application that does not include a page setup or printer setup procedure, you may be able to use the ESCape sequence to specify your page length. Applications handle ESCape sequences differently, so refer to your application's software manual for instructions on sending commands.

The ESCape sequence for page length is ESC 0 n, where n is the page length in inches. For legal-size paper, the ESCape sequence is ESC 0 14 (27 67 0 14, decimal, or 1B 43 00 0E, hexidecimal).

When printing on legal-size paper, do not extend the paper output tray:

Remove each sheet as it is printed.

Printing in Landscape Orientation

The BJ-200ex Bubble Jet Printer does not have built-in landscape fonts. However, you can print in landscape orientation through the Windows environment.
