When [Custom] is selected, the following parameters determine the page specifications.

[Form Length]

[Left Margin]

[Right Margin]

Note

If this parameter is changed in the printer driver’s dialog box, that setting has priority.

2Form Length

Available settings: [Lines] (6 - 127*), [Inches] (1.00 - 21.16**)

*When [Text Line Spacing] is set to [6 Lines/Inch]: 6-127; when set to [8 Lines/Inch (0.125")] or [8 Lines/Inch (0.12")]: 8-127

**When [Text Line Spacing] is set to [6 Lines/Inch]: 1.00-21.16; when set to [8 Lines/Inch (0.125")] or [8 Lines/Inch (0.12")]: 1.00-15.87

Default setting: [Lines] (6)

The setting specified for this parameter takes effect only when [Paper Size] is set to [Custom].

Form length is determined by specifying the number of lines per page, or the length in inches of each page.

„Lines - Form length (i.e. the height of the page) is determined by the number of text lines per page (specified here), and the height of each line (specified for [Text Line Spacing]).

„Inches - Form length is specified in inches.

If you switch between [Lines] and [Inches], PJ-600 Series Utility automatically recalculates the setting.

3Bottom Margin

Available settings: When [Text Line Spacing]

is set to [6 Lines/Inch]: 3-126; when set to [8 Lines/Inch (0.125")] or [8 Lines/Inch (0.12")]: 4-126

Default setting: [Lines] (3)

The setting specified for this parameter takes effect only when [Paper Size] is set to [Custom].
