For paper sizes other than A4 or letter, you must use commands from the
host computer that tell the printer the paper size you are using. These
commands tell the printer where to print on the page. An example of this
would be printing on legal-size paper. Since the printer does not recognize
the larger legal-size paper, you must send it the proper commands (escape
sequences) to print correctly on the page. These commands should precede
the data in the file to be printed.
The following command line contains instructions to print on legal-size
paper in manual feed mode. This example is set up to print a file on an 8 ½
in. x 14 in. sheet of paper in portrait mode using manual feed. Table 2–1
describes each escape sequence in the example.

points, or centipoints. This
example uses pixels.

and the width (2550 pix-
els = 8 ½ in.) and length
(4200 pixels = 14 in.) of
the paper.

or from the control panel
using
Manual Feed
.
NOTE:
If you are using full or dual paint mode, send the appropriate
DECMM command.
See Appendix A for additional programming information.
