Height

Integer or fixed-point. Establishes the height of the logical
printable area in points (1/72").

/_ImprintLevel

Integer or fixed-point. In general, this parameter specifies the amount of
energy used to apply the print image to the page. The entry specifies the
imprinting level as a percentage of the maximum imprinting level
supported by the mechanism. A value of 100 implies the maximum
imprinting level supported. A value of 0 implies no imprinting.
Typically, printers which support this parameter also enforce a mini-
mum imprinting level. As a result, percentages which result in a im-
printing level below this minimum will only result in the minimum
imprinting level. Only certain PAL printers support this parameter. The
exact meaning of the parameter varies depending upon the printing
mechanism.

/_InterPage

Integer or fixed-point. Specifies the distance, in points (1/72"), between
pages on continuous form media. The current user scaling factor has no
affect upon this value. Only certain continuous forms printers support
this parameter.

/ManualFeed

Boolean. Selects between manual feed and automatic feed operation.
true selects manual feed operation. false selects automatic feed opera-
tion. The exact meaning of this parameter varies between printers. On
cut sheet printers, true usually indicates that the printer should wait for
the operator to supply each sheet. On continuous media printers, true
usually indicates that the printer should wait for the operator to remove
the previous page printed before printing the next page. This parameter
is used to enable/diable the present sensor for peel and present printers.
Not all printers support this parameter.

/_ManualSenseLevel

Integer or fixed-point. Controls the sensitivity of the sensor used on
some printers to detect completion of the manual feed operation by the
printer operator. The value specifies a percentage of the maximum
sensitivity provided by the sensor. A value of 100 implies absolute
sensitivity. A value of 0 implies no sensitivity. Absolute sensitivity will
normally result in the printer constantly believing that the operator has
completed the manual feed operation. No sensitivity will normally
prevent the printer from ever detecting that the user has completed the
manual feed operation. The proper setting will normally fall somewhere
closer to the middle of the range, depending upon the operating
conditions. Not all printers support this parameter. This parameter is
ignored on the Fastmark series of printers.

/_MediaSenseType

String. Selects the media page sensing mechanism. Possible values are
(BlackBar), (Gap) or (Continuous).

/_MediaOutSenseLevel

Integer or fixed-point. Controls the sensitivity of the sensor used on
some printers to detect the presence of media within the printer. The
value specifies a percentage of the maximum sensitivity provided by the
sensor. A value of 100 implies absolute sensitivity. A value of 0 implies
no sensitivity. Absolute sensitivity will normally result in the printer
constantly believing that the printer contains media ready for printing.
