Physical Page Characteristics of the LA310 MultiPrinter

9.3 Horizontal Text Resolution

The LA310 supports a horizontal resolution of 1/7920" internally, allowing it

to maintain accurate positioning for all horizontal pitches. When translating

to the physical resolution of 1/720", positioning accuracy will be lost for the

pitches indicated in Table 9–1, but in all cases it will be no more than 1/1440".

This error does not accumulate from character to character so there is no

overall error accumulation across a line of text.

Note

For Sixel Graphics mode resolution fallbacks, see Table 13–2.

9.4 Vertical Text Resolution

The LA310 MultiPrinter supports the metric line spacing parameters under

Set Vertical Pitch (DECVERP) in the Command Dictionary.

The LA310 MultiPrinter uses approximations for the metric line spacing

parameters. These approximations are given in Table 9–2.
