SPECIFYING
PAGE
LENGTH
(SIZE
OF
PAPER)
The
page length
can
be
specified using the Ec&I#P escape
sequence.
The
value field
(#)
specifies the page length (size
of
paper) in number
of
lines (using
the
currently selected line
spacing).
For
example,
to
set a page length
of
54
lines
(9
inches at
6 lines/inch),
the
Ec&154P escape sequence would
be
sent
to
the
printer. NOTE: The line spacing can be changed using the
Vertical Line Spacing escape sequences explained later in this
chapter.
If
an
input paper cassette
is
installed in the printer,
the
page size
defaults
to
the
size
of
the
installed paper.
If
an input paper
cassette
is
not
installed.
the
printer
defaults
to
letter-size page
length
(8.5
x
11
inches).
Specifying a page length
of
tJ
(Ec&10P) defaults
the
page size
to
the
size
of
the
installed
paper
cassette (The
LaserJet
500+
printer
defaults
to
the
paper size
of
the
selected cassette).
If
the
printer is
in manual feed mode
and
a page length
of.,
is
specified,
the
page
size will
default
to
the
cassette size
that
was set before entering
manual
feed mode.
NOTE
Whether
printing in landscape
or
portrait
orientation,
the
page
length
is
always specified as
the
physical length (not width)
of
the
paper.
If
you decide
to
change
to
landscape orientation, specify
page length first,
then
change orientation.
