BASIC CONCEPTS
Page orientation
There are two types of page, or text, orientation:
• Portrait
• Landscape.
In portrait orientation, the vertical side of the page is longer than
the horizontal side. In landscape orientation, the horizontal side
of the page is longer than the vertical side. Portrait and
landscape orientations are illustrated in figure 1-1.

PORTRAIT LANDSCAPE
Landscape is the usual orientation for computer reports. Portrait
is the usual orientation for letters, manuals, and other text
printing. On a laser printing system, you can change page
orientation from page to page without interrupting the printing
operation. This capability, coupled with variable character size,
permits maximum flexibility for the effective presentation of
information.
Fonts
A font is a character set which has a unique type style, type size,
and orientation.
Fixed and proportional fonts Both fixed and proportionally spaced fonts are available for use
on the 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS. Each font character occupies
an area called a character cell. All character cells in a fixed font
are the same width. Character cells in a proportional font vary in
width.
