Explanation of Individual Menu Items

LENGTH FACTOR
1)
The length factor divides the physical paper length into an integer multiple of
logical pages.
A physical page is printed when its pertaining last logical page is completed with a
Form Feed command. If the number of logical pages is not a multiple of the
LENGTH FACTOR, the contents of the residual logical pages will remain in the
printer. The functions FEED N PAGES in the OFFLINE MENU and the function
AUTO FORM FEED in the GENERAL MENU cause the printer to print the
residual logical pages and to feed the paper in the raster of a physical page.
Example: The PAPER LENGTH is 12 inch and the LENGTH FACTOR is 3. That
means the application prints three logical pages of 4 inch each on one
physical page.
The range is 1 up to 20 logical pages per physical page.
IMAGE WIDTH
1)
The print image is always centred on a page - not at the left or right margin.
The width of the print image can be selected from min. 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) up to
max. 11.00 inch (279.4 mm) in steps of 0.05 inch (1.27 mm):
0.50; 0.55; 0.60; 0.65; .......11.00;
Note: If ORIENTATION = LANDSCAPE is selected the image width now is
corresponding to the page height.
ORIENTATION
The orientation of the print image may either be PORTRAIT or LANDSCAPE. The
physical orientation of the print image is also influenced by the setting of
LANDSCAPE MODE and ORIENTATION MODE.
Note: If the orientation is changed from one direction into the other the page
describing parameters (MARGINS, IMAGE WIDTH, VER SHIFT, and
HOR SHIFT etc.) are set to the corresponding default values. The physical
page length will not be changed.
If printing is performed in LANDSCAPE and the selected values for image
width and line spacing don't lead to an integer multiple of lines within this
image area the result will be a displacement in the print image between
two contiguous pages. An evenly arranged print image can only be
achieved by either adapting the image width to the line spacing or by
selection of PERF.SKIP = ON.
