The following table lists the maximum number of characters that can be printed
for a given Characters Per Inch (CPI) setting.
CPI Setting
Maximum Forms Width
(in Characters)
10.0 136*
12.0 163
13.3 181
15.0 204
16.7 227
17.1 232
18.0 245
20.0 272
* = Default
IMPORTANT: If the forms width is set in characters and the CPI is changed, the
effective page width is changed to be equal to the forms width in
characters divided by the new CPI. For example, if the current
forms width is 132 characters and the CPI is changed from 10 CPI
to 15 CPI, the effective forms width changes from 13.2 inches to
8.8 inches.
Note:
This applies only if the forms width is set in characters. If the forms width
is set in inches or millimeters (mm), changing the CPI does not affect the
effective forms width.
Forms Length
FORMS LENGTH specifies the forms length in inches, millimeters or lines. All
three measurements will update the same configuration parameter. The default
values for forms length are 11 inches, 279.4 millimeters, or 66 lines per page.
Descriptions follow for the three ways of specifying the forms length:
Note: The actual value displayed for forms length set in inches and mm can be
greater than the maximum values listed on the operator panel because the
number of lines can exceed actual inches and mm values.
FORMS LENGTH IN INCHES and FORMS LENGTH IN MM selections are
not available with the Coax/Twinax or IPDS emulations. The only variable
available with the Coax/Twinax and IPDS emulations is FORMS LENGTH
IN LINES.
