■About Line Settings

Setting the number of lines/page automatically sets the line spacing or line feed pitch. If the paper size is changed, the number of lines/page changes accordingly. The new setting is calculated with the following expression and the remainder, if any, is ignored. However, the line feed pitch and the top and bottom margins remain effective.

# of Lines/Page =	Page Length – (Top Margin + Bottom Margin)
	Line Feed Pitch [Vertical Motion Index (VMI)]

The setting of lines/page is subject to the current paper size and orientation. For example, when letter-sized paper is used, the printer can print 60 lines per page in portrait orientation. If the orientation is changed, the line settings are restored to the factory settings in that orientation.

The following tables show the factory settings in each emulation mode.

In HP Mode

	Orientation
Size	Portrait	Landscape
Letter	60 lines	45 lines
A4	64 lines	43 lines
Legal	78 lines	45 lines

In Non-HP Modes

	Orientation
Size	Portrait	Landscape
Letter	62 lines	47 lines
A4	66 lines	45 lines
Legal	80 lines	47 lines

✒Note

When you use application software in the non-HP modes, the recommended settings are as follows:

∙Left margin = column 0

∙Right margin = Max. value

∙Auto MASK ON

✒Note

Since the HP-GL emulation mode is for a plotter, you can select the plotter pens, the pen size and percentage of gray in this mode menu.
