Chapter 6. Operating the 1330
Operating procedures for the 1330 can be divided into three categories:
• Setting the print format
• Specific operating procedures
• General operating procedures
Setting the Print Format
The print format consists of four parameters: characters per inch, line length (maximum
print position), forms length, and vertical line density.
The following points explain 1330 print format:
• The number of characters per inch (CPI) can be selected by using Configuration
Option 102. You can choose 10, 12, 15, 16.7, 17.1, or 20 CPI. When the CPI is
changed, the line length correspondingly changes. See “Setting the Line Length”
in this chapter for the maximum print position (line length) that corresponds to
each CPI setting.
• The line length is the distance, in character widths, between the first (leftmost)
print position and the last print position. Line length is commonly indicated by the
maximum print position (MPP) (Option 104).
• The forms length is the length of the forms in lines. To calculate the forms length,
multiply the length of the paper in inches by the lines per inch (LPI) setting (Option
105).
For example, if your forms are 11 inches long, and the LPI setting is 8, the forms
length in lines is 88.
• The vertical line density consists of the lines per inch setting and the single space/
double space setting (Option 103) as outlined below:

Note:
The LPI value, CPI value, forms length value, and maximum print position
value can be overridden by the host application system. The Change Case and
Change Space option settings are not overridden by the host system.
