■ About Line Settings
Setting the number of lines/page automatically sets the line spacing or
line feed pitch. If the paper size is changed, the number of lines/page
changes accordingly. The new setting is calculated with the following
expression and the remainder, if any, is ignored. However, the line
feed pitch and the top and bottom margins remain effective.
# of Lines/Page =
Page Length – (Top Margin + Bottom Margin)
Line Feed Pitch [Vertical Motion Index (VMI)]
The setting of lines/page is subject to the current paper size and
orientation. For example, when letter-sized paper is used, the printer
can print 60 lines per page in portrait orientation. If the orientation is
changed, the line settings are restored to the factory settings in that
orientation.
The following tables show the factory settings in each emulation
mode.

✒ Note

They do not appear in any other emulation modes.
Since the HP-GL emulation mode is for a plotter, you can select the
plotter pens, the pen size and percentage of gray in this mode menu.
