7–110 Digital Emulation

The printer performs default horizontal grid sizes for some decipoint values.

The following table identifies the horizontal grid size used for each

parameter value.

Decipoints (1/720”) Horizontal Grid Size

0 or none

1, 2, 3

1/180in (.0056 in)

6 default to:

9 default to:

11 – 19 default to:

21, 22, etc. default to:

1/180in (.0056 in)

If Pn3 is set to 0 or not present, the horizontal grid size is determined by the

macro parameter (Ps1). Otherwise, Pn3 overrides the Horizontal Grid Size

(HGS) portion of the macro parameter while attempting to preserve the

aspect ratio (A/R). Therefore, when the 250:100 aspect ratio is selected by

Ps1, Pn3 must take on one of the following values:

1/180 in, maintain 250:100 A/R and HGS = 1/180 in

1/140 in, maintain 250:100 A/R and HGS = 1/180 in

1/90 in, maintain 250:100 A/R and maintain HGS = 1/90 in

1/70 in, maintain 250:100 A/R and change to HGS = 1/90 in

1/35 in, maintain 250:100 A/R and change to HGS = 1/90 in

When the 200:100 aspect ratio is selected by Ps1, Pn3 must take on one of

the following values:

1/180 in, change to 200:100 A/R and maintain HGS = 1/180 in

1/140 in, maintain 200:100 A/R and HGS = 1/140 in

1/90 in, maintain 200:100 A/R and change to HGS = 1/140 in

1/70 in, maintain 200:100 A/R and change to HGS = 1/70 in

1/35 in, maintain 200:100 A/R and change to HGS = 1/70 in
