The actualmeaningof a columnis definedby the settingfor the horizontal motion index (HMI). The HMIjust means how wide you want the space characterto be. Eachcolumn,ruining frompagetop to bottom,will be the widthof a space.
Youprobablywilllet yoursoftwareworryaboutthe spacewidth.Butif you want,you can set the HMI parameteron the panelin incrementsof 1/120
Similarly,themeaningof a line(sometimescalleda “row”)is definedbythe vertical motion index (VMI).The printermovesthe print positiondown a line when it gets a Line Feed code, usually when it bumps into the right margin.
Again, you’llprobablylet your computerprogramset the line depth. But from the panel you can set the VMI value in incrementsfrom 1/48 to 255/48of an inch.
