Supply Layout Grid

(English)

9401/9402 System Administrator's Guide

Supply Layout Grids

You should have three Supply

Layout Grids.

∙ English

∙ Metric

∙ Dots

The English grid, shown to the right, is measured in 1/100 inches.

The Metric grid is measured in 1/10 mm.

This printer uses dots to print

images on a supply. The0 50 100 150 200 250 printhead has 192 dots per

inch. Use the Dot Layout Grid if you prefer to design formats according to dot measurement.

Decide whether you want to design formats using English, Metric, or dot measurement. Use the corresponding Supply Layout Grid to determine supply dimensions and measure field locations.
