Star Micronics 4111 manual Example Page formatting

4.3.5 Example: Page formatting

OK, let’s have ago at formatting a page. The picture of the page we want is just below. The actual width of the text on the page depends on which font we use. Let’s plan on using our 16.66-pitchLine Printer font at eight lines per inch.

top margin. 8 lines {

textlength=	page length. 112 lines
100 lines

bottommargin.{	~	.,	I}
4 lines			\ occasionalfootnotes

As it prints, we also want to permit the occasional one-line footnote below the normal bottom margin. And when we’re finished printing, let’s reset the side margins so we can switch to our usual font width.

Here are the commands that will produce this format for us:

<ESC> &tl 12P <ESC> &a 10~70M <ESC> &/8e lOOfOL (We’ll send our page here.) <ESC> 9
