Page definitions for the 4224, 4230, 4234, 4247, and 6400 printers are supplied for formatting some of the more common paper sizes, as the tables in this topic show. These page definitions are designed for printing on continuous-forms paper on any of the printers named. They are not designed for printing with cut-sheet paper or with the document-on-demand feature.

The 4224, 4230, 4234, 4247, and 6400 printers support different fonts, depending on the print-quality level set for the printer. Therefore, select a font that is supported at the print-quality level set for your printer. To see the print-quality level set for your printer, see the documentation provided with the printer. Each of these page definitions assigns a channel-1 (carriage) control character to the first line of the page.

Table 31 describes the page definitions for continuous-forms paper that measures 12 x 8.5 inches.

Table 32 describes the page definitions for continuous-forms paper that measures 9.5 x 11 inches.

Table 33 describes the page definitions for continuous-forms paper 14.88 x 11 inches. The width of the printable area in these page definitions is 13.2 inches, because the 4224, 4230, 4234, 4247, and 6400 printers have a maximum line length of 13.2 inches. To print records having a line length of 13.2 inches (for example, 132-byte records printed with a GT10 font), you must use a form definition that positions the page at the left margin. For example, you can use form definition F1OGL, described in Table 22.
