c The Page Width & Page Length printer commands function like the Page Size command. Using these
commands automatically enables Page Eject and disables overlay macros. Both the Page Width and Page
Length commands can be used independently and will only change the width or length to the maximum
allowable page size of 9.4 x 15 inches (23.9 x 38.1 cm). Setting the cursor positioning commands, margin
settings, print data, etc. to cause printing beyond the pages size dimensions will be cropped.
d Only one overlay macro can be used at a time, and cannot be recursive. The overlay macros need print
quality, page parameters, etc. to determine the printers’ page setup.
e Soft font creation is in HP non compressed Bit Map Font Format.
h The resident fonts are scaleable from 8 to 30 points. If a desired font spacing does not match the font
selected an internal font will be substituted. For fixed spacing the substitute font will be Courier, and Sans Serif
for proportionally spaced fonts. Characteristics of the font being replaced, such as point size, print width, etc.,
will be matched by the substituted font.
