in table 5-1, you will need to enter a specific value for “n” to signify
the positions of the left and right margins. In each case, you may
substitute any number between 1 and 132~just make sure that the
left margin has a smaller value than the right margin. After you have
set the margins, the printer will automatically perform the carriage
return and line feed.

n CHOOSING THE PAGE LENGTH AND NUMBER

OF LINES PER PAGE
Your printer is preset to print 66 lines per page on an 11 -inch form,
but you can reconfigure these settings either through DIP switch l-2
(“on” for 11-inch forms, “off” for 12-inch forms), or by entering the
proper codes illustrated in Table 5-2.
When you send the code to control the page length in inches, you
can substitute for “n” any number between 1 and 32. All subsequent
pages will be printed in the same page format until you turn off the
printer or send a code to cancel this setting.
You can also set the page length by programming in the number
of lines per page. Using the codes given in Table 5-2, you may instruct
the printer to print any number of lines per page from 1 to 127. -
W SETTING THE TOP AND BOTTOM MARGINS
The top margin determines where the printer begins printing on --
a page, and the bottom margin tells it where to stop printing and
proceed to the neXt page. As you learned in Section 1, when you
align paperwith the cutting edge on the front cover, printing will begin
about 2 inches down the page. The bottom margin will bedetermined
by your settings for both page length and number of lines per page.
If you wish, you can also program your top and bottom margins
just as you did with the left and right margins, by sending the proper
codes. Your printer will continue to observe your newly defined top
and bottom margins until you turn the printer off or send new codes
to cancel them.
When you set the top margin, you can substitute for “n” any value
between 1 and 16 (the power-on default value is 1). When you enter
the code for the bottom margin, you may enter any value between
40
