XES COMMAND LANGUAGE MODE

Figure 2-1.Font and page orientation

Coordinates, units of measure, and paper feed direction

The page on the 4213 is like a grid, with an origin, an x-axis, and a y-axis. Data can be placed virtually anywhere on the grid of the page. The basic unit of printable data is the pixel or dot, which is also the basic unit of measure used in all commands that set measurements.

The 4213 has a resolution of 300 dot-per-inch. Refer to appendix B, ªConversion tables for units of measureª for conversions to inches and millimetres. Figure 2-2 shows the origins, x-axis, y- axis, and dimensions for pages created on short-edge feed (letter, legal, A4) paper.
