characters per horizontal inch for
the default font.

Range from 0.44 to 99.99

default is 10.00.

This submenu only appears if the font
indicated by the Font Source and
Font Number submenus is scalable
and uses fixed spacing (monospaced).

default font; point size is the
vertical height of a character
(including some white space above
and below).

(in increments of 0.25). The
default is 12.00.

This submenu only appears if the

Wait

120 seconds (in 15-second
increments) and Never

Some applications may change this
setting during printing. In some cases
the change will be permanent and the
new timeout setting will appear in
the display. (You may reset it or, if
the application is one you use
frequently, leave the new setting.)

a line will wrap and continue onto
the next line; or if the text will be
cut off.
