If you want to print transparencies for your overhead projector, some films
will actually melt in your laser printer. Stick to 3M’s medium-weight
transparency film (type 501) or to Hewlett-Packard’s #92285J.
The LAYOUT parameter
The Zayout orformat or setup of a page refers to how text is positioned on
the page. Layout includes page orientation, margins and the spacing of
characters across and lines down the page. You can control these with the
LAYOUT parameter.
You probably won’t use the LAYOUT parameter on the front panel’s
program menu very much though. Most of the time you’ll either leave the
Star LaserPrinter 8111 with its default settings, or look after page formatting
with commands you send from your computer.
Page orientation
A page’s orientation tells you in which direction the print goes on the page.
When you useportrait orientation the lines are printed as they are in a normal
business letter, across the width of the page. A portrait painting of a person
is usually vertical-hence the name.
landscape
Portrait
When you use fun&ape orientation the words are printed “on their sides,”
vertically up the length of the page. Text written with landscape orientation
only looks correct when you turn the page so its length runs side-to-side, just
like the painting of a landscape.
Envelopes must be printed with landscape orientation. You also will use
landscape regularly to print charts or banners, and spreadsheets or reports
- with so many columns they wouldn’t otherwise fit on the page.
All internal fonts, and almost all cartridge and downloaded fonts, are stored
in the Star LaserPrinter 8111 with portrait orientation.
