If the forms length is set in lines and you change the LPI, the
effective page length changes to the forms length in characters
divided by the new LPI.
NOTE: Receipt of a data stream control code which changes the forms
length overrides the forms length previously specified via the
operator panel.
Forms Width
FORMS WIDTH specifies the forms width in characters.
FORMS WIDTH IN CHARACTERS allows you to input the forms width in
characters from 1 to 232 characters. The maximum forms width in characters
depends on the current CPI setting; it is equal to the maximum forms width in
inches multiplied by the current CPI setting.
Only valid forms width values will be accepted. If a width is selected that is larger
than the maximum width for the current CPI, then the maximum width will be
used. If a larger width value is desired, then the CPI value must be changed first.
The following table lists the maximum number of characters that can be printed
for a given Characters Per Inch (CPI) setting.
