Appendix C

The following recommendations indicate how best to set up the printer and
use the media sensor.

If the application sends the logical page length to the printer, then there is
probably nothing to change in the setup other than to enable the proper
media sensor. The printer and the application will use the Host Form
Length for the logical page length. As long as the physical page length is
really the same as the logical page length (which it should be), the printer
will operate normally.

If the application sends the logical page length to the printer but it is
inaccurate (e.g., you wish to fit two logical pages onto one physical page),
then you must make sure that Host Form Length is set to Disabled and
must also set the Page Length under the Printer Control menu in the
secondary control panel to the physical page length.

If the application does

not send the page length to the printer, then you

must select the page length from the secondary control panel. This value
must be accurate, both in terms of what the application expects and the
physical page length. If it does not match the physical page length, then
there will be clipping or extra white space.

The Page Length range is limited to 47.0 inches (1193.8mm) when the
Page Width value is set to 4.1 inches. Decreasing (narrowing) the Page
Width value will extend the limits of the Page Length range that you can
select—up to a maximum of 99.0 inches.
