Page definitions for all other printers supported by PSF
Table 38 describes the page definitions supplied with
PSF for all printers other than the 3800, 4224, 4230, 4234, 4247,
6400, PCL4, and PPDS printers. PSF provides common page definitions
for printers other than these, to promote the interchange of documents
between different printers.
PSF provides page definitions to format the commonly used cut-sheet
and continuous-forms paper sizes. The tables in this topic show the page definitions for each paper
size. For information about the paper sizes supported for your printer,
see the publications for your printer.
Each of these page definitions specifies a channel-1 (carriage)
control character to position at the top of the next page.
Table 38 describes the page definitions for cut-sheet
A4 paper, which is 8.27 inches wide by 11.69 inches high.

Table 43 lists page definitions for printing on a variety
of sizes of three-hole punched paper. The page definitions specify
that the printing direction is Up, and they offset printing to accommodate
three-hole punched paper. You must use these page definitions with
the form definitions whose names begin with F1H.
