Image Width

Image Width specifies the width of the image to be printed. The
allowable range is 2.0 to 14.7 inches, in 0.1 inch increments. The
factory default is 14.6 inches

Form Length

Form Length is the logical form length for fanfold paper. You can
specify the form length in either of two ways: in inches, or in the
number of print lines (at six lines per inch).

Inch Select/Length in Inches (the default). This selection allows
you to set the form length in inches. The range is from 1.0 to
30.0 inches, in one-half inch increments. The default is 11.0
inches.

6 LPI Select/Length at 6LPI. This selection allows you to set the
form length in lines. The range is from 6 to 144 in one line
increments. The default is 66 lines.

Paper Length

Paper Length is the physical form length for fanfold paper (the
vertical perforation to perforation distance). You can specify the
paper length in three ways: Auto Select, inches, or the number of
print lines (at six lines per inch).

Auto Select (the default). The printer uses the current setting of
the “Form Length” parameter to find the best physical paper
length within the valid range, and then uses that value. If the
form length parameter setting is within the valid range for the
paper length parameter, the printer uses the value for both the
form length and paper length parameters. If the form length
parameter is outside the valid range for the paper length
parameter, the printer finds the closest multiple or divisor.

For example, a form length parameter setting of 10 inches
results in a paper length setting of 10 inches, as 10 inches is
within the valid range for form length and paper length
parameters. A form length setting of 24 inches results in a
paper length setting of 12 inches; 24 is above the valid range.
