[. . . ] Length (inches) If you wish to define the length of your form in inches, you may select a form length from 0. 1 to 25. 5 inches. LPI (Lines Per Inch) This parameter allows you to set the lines per inch. The possible selections are 1. 5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12. Top Margin The option selected here determines where the first line of print is located on the page. The Top Margin location is measured in the number of lines from the current Top-of-Form location. The range is 0 to 255, with the default option set to 0. Bottom Margin This parameter allows you to set the bottom margin. The Bottom Margin is measured in the number of lines from the current Top-of-Form location. The range is 0 to 255, with the default option set to 66. The Bottom Margin (and the Top Margin) parameter option is defined in terms of lines and so there is a natural relationship with the LPI option. For example: Suppose the LPI option is set to 6 lines per inch and the Bottom Margin option is set to line 60. The physical location on the paper of the Bottom Margin will be 10 inches from the Top-of-Form location (60 lines divided by 6 lines per inch). If the LPI is then changed to 10 lines per inch, the Bottom Margin automatically changes to line 100 in order to maintain the previous physical location for the Bottom Margin at 10 inches from the Top-ofForm location (100 lines divided by 10 lines per inch). A new Bottom Margin setting can be selected, of course, if that is what is desired. The Top Margin and Bottom Margin are thus translated into a physical location on the paper. Subsequent changes in LPI affect this location. If the new location does not exactly correspond with a line position, no asterisk is shown as a "current setting" indicator. Chapter 3: Printer Menus and the Control Panel 3­43 Operator Menu Forms Left Margin You can place the left margin at any column number across the page, using parameter options 1 to 272. The range of options for this parameter depends on the CPI setting. The left margin must be less than or equal to the right margin. Right Margin You can place the right margin at any column number across the page. As with Left Margin, the range of this value depends on the CPI. The right margin must be greater than or equal to the left margin. [. . . ] This produces consistent print speed even when changing from one CPI to another. Enhanced Mode provides higher resolution and a greater range of CPIs than CDF Mode. Because Enhanced Mode uses a variety of dot densities you should expect a change in print speed of text when switching from one CPI to another. Gothic and Courier These two type styles provide Near Letter Quality (NLQ) printing. [. . . ]
