Table 1 shows the record length that
can be specified for the various printers.
Table 1. Record length
for printers. Sometimes two values are shown; except for
the 3800, the larger of the two values requires that an optional feature
be installed on the printer being used. If the optional control character
is specified to control spacing and skipping, specify
the record length as one greater than the actual data length
(the control character is not part of the data record). Another factor that affects record length is the presence
of table reference characters (TRCs). If you specify OPTCD=J, then
increase the record length by one to show that each record has a TRC.
Any combination of control characters and table reference characters
is valid.| Printer

Note: - Advanced function printers (page printers) can place
a byte anywhere on a page and are not limited to formatted print lines.
Therefore, the printers can use the full 32,760 byte records that
the various systems support.
When printing formatted print lines,
the length of the line varies depending on the size of the font and
paper.
