Forms Length In Inches: Allows you to input the forms length in inches. Valid
values range from 00.1 through 24 inches, in increments of 0.1 inch. (This option
not available for the coax interface.)
Forms Length In MM: Allows you to input the forms length in millimeters. Valid
values range from 000.1 through 609.6 millimeters, in increments of tenths of a
millimeter (0.1 mm). (This option not available for the coax interface.)
Forms Length In Lines: Allows you to input the forms length in lines. The
maximum forms length in lines depends on the current LPI setting; it is equal to
the maximum forms length in inches multiplied by the current LPI setting.
For example, at 6 LPI the maximum forms length is:
6 LPI x 24 inches = 144 lines
Only valid forms length values will be accepted. If you select a length that is larger
than the maximum length for the current LPI, the maximum length will be used. If
you need a longer page length, you must first change the LPI.
IMPORTANT: If the forms length is set in lines and you change the LPI, the
effective page length changes to the forms length in characters
divided by the new LPI. For example, if the current forms length
is 66 lines and you change the LPI from 6 LPI to 8 LPI, then the
effective forms length changes from 11 inches to 8.25 inches.
Note:
This only applies if the forms length is set in lines. If the forms length is set
in inches or millimeters, changing the LPI does not affect the effective forms
length.
Receipt of a data stream control code which changes the forms length
overrides the forms length previously specified via the operator panel.
