FORM LENGTH: Sets vertical spacing from 5 to
128 lines for default paper size.
ORIENTATION: Allows you to select default
page orientation to portrait or landscape.
FONT SOURCE: Allows you to select the font
source as *Internal, CARD SLOT 1, 2, or 3,
Internal disk, or EIO disk.
FONT NUMBER: The printer assigns a number
to each font and lists the numbers on the PCL
Font List. The range is 0 to 999.
FONT PITCH: Selects the font pitch. This item
might not appear, depending on the font
selected. The range is 0.44 to 99.99.
FONT POINT SIZE: Selects the font point size.
This appears only if a font with a scalable point
size is selected as the default font. The range is
4.00 to 999.75.
SYMBOL SET: Selects any one of several
available symbol sets at the printer control panel.
A symbol set is a unique grouping of all the
characters in a font. PC-8 or PC-850 is
recommended for line-draw characters.
APPEND CR TO LF: Select YES to append a
carriage return to each line feed encountered in
backward-compatible PCL jobs (pure text, no job
control). Some environments, such as UNIX,
indicate a new line using only the line feed
control code. This option allows you to append
the required carriage return to each line feed.
SUPPRESS BLANK PAGES: When generating
your own PCL, extra form feeds are included
that would cause a blank page(s) to be printed.
Select YES for form feeds to be ignored if the
page is blank.

Some items on this menu are available in the program or printer driver (if the appropriate
driver is installed). Program and printer driver settings override control-panel settings. For
more information, see
Using the printer driver. In general, it is best to change these settings
in the printer driver, if applicable.
The section that follows lists the settings and possible values. In the Values column, the
default value for each setting is the one with an asterisk (*) next to it.
