Entering Menu Values
Instead of offering multiple choices, the printer requires actual values for features such as line
spacing and margins. Use the numbers and decimal point on the bottom of the keys to make
numeric entries. The context of a particular menu indicates the units of measure required,
such as columns, inches, etc.
Decimal fractions may be included, in which case the printer might round off the entry to the
nearest number that the current emulation supports.
The printer can be set to accept decipoints for margins and form length where it would
normally expect inches; this is controlled by software option 9 on the Printed Menu. See
"Software Options" in this chapter.

narrow to read the list, see the next section, “Margins for Menu Listings”. The LCD
indicates what numbers were entered, but the printout shows what to do next.
Margins for Menu Listings
In the Printed Menu, the lists of options are designed to be printed with a left margin of 0
inches and a right margin of at least 8.0 inches. If the margins selected are greater than the
left margin of 0 inches and less than the right margin of 8.0 inches, then change the margins
prior to using the Printed Menu.
If the margins are too narrow, then exit the Printed Menu. Press FIRST and then 1, Enter and
1, Enter to abort. Enter the LCD Menu by pressing FIRST and then ENTER. Note the format
number shown on the LCD. This is the currently assigned format. Use the FORMAT key to
select a different format while printing the menu. Use the FORMAT key to select the old format
when the menu printing is finished.
