Print device definitions and printer forms

Creating or modifying printer forms

  1. From the PRINTDEF Available Options menu, select Printer Forms.

    A list of the forms that have been defined for printing appears.

  2. Press <Ins>, then type the name of the new form you want to define in the ``Forms Definition Form'' entry box and press <Enter>.

    The first character of the form name must be alphabetic, and the form name cannot exceed 12 characters. Examples of form names include White_8x11, Continuous, Checks, Green_Bar, and Standard.

  3. Type the number you want to assign to the form and press <Enter>.

    You should probably assign the most commonly used form as form 0, because 0 is the default form. Form numbers must fall between 0 and 255.

  4. Type the length of the form in lines per page and press <Enter>.

    The number must fall between 1 and 255. This number is for your reference only. Use a number that makes sense to you. For example, if your printer is set to 6 lines per inch and your paper measures 8.5 by 11 inches, you might select 66.

  5. Type the width of the form in characters per line and press <Enter>.

    The number must fall between 1 and 999. This number is for your reference only. Use a number that makes sense to you. For example, if your printer is set to 10 characters per inch and your paper measures 8.5 by 11 inches, you might select 85.

  6. To save changes, press <F10>.
