Mackie V7.0 manual Lllinelength

Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options

Xprint V7.0 always defines its printable area by means of the logical page specified with the options -pl(page length) and -ll(line length). The margin options -tm(top margin) and -lm(left margin) can also be used for defining the printable area within the physical page. If only the margin settings -tmand -lmare specified, the bottom and right margin of the logical page are defined via the non-printable area. If a logical page is not given, the size of the printable area is calculated from the size of the physical page (-phfor the page height, -pwfor the page width) minus the non-printable margins.

-lmleft_margin

This option specifies the width of the left margin in inches (i), centimeters (c) or millimeters (m) or, if no unit is specified, in characters.

-llline_length

This option defines the maximum length of a print line, which indirectly also determines the right margin. This can also be specified in inches (i), centimeters (c) or millimeters (m). If no measurement is specified and no left margin is defined, the value is interpreted as the number of characters per line. If no value is specified, the page width specified with the -pwoption minus the printer-specific non-printable margin widths is used.

This option is controlled by the option -wm(wrap mode), i.e. the line length is modified if the printable line length is exceeded. For more information refer to the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.

-tmtop_margin

This option is used to specify the width of the top margin in inches (i), centimeters (c) or millimeters (m) or, if no unit is specified, in characters.

-plpage_length

This option defines the maximum length of a printed page, and thus indirectly also the bottom margin. This can also be specified in inches (i), centimeters (c) or millimeters (m). If no measurement is specified, the value is interpreted as the number of lines per page. If no value is specified and no top margin is defined, the page height specified with the -phoption minus the printer-specific non-printable top and bottom margins is used.

i

Depending on the printer, the margins on the printout may differ from the set values. Therefore it is advisable to print a sample copy first in order to adjust the values for the printer. Also bear in mind that the printable area is controlled by the -wm option (wrap mode) of the xpadd -job command.
