Star Micronics 8111 Printer User Manual


 
The Paper Size command
The Paper Size superset command lets you change the paper size in which
the Star LaserPrinter 8 prints.
This is the command that defines what size the Star LaserPrinter 8 will
accept. You issue the Paper Size command with the following Escape
sequence:
<ES0 [ S n
For the value of n you enter a number from this table:
n

5
B5 International size paper

12
Corn-10 size envelope
13 International DL size envelope
14

This command controls the size that the printer should use when next
feeding from the selected paper feeder. If the printer does not have the
requested size, the front panel will display a message instructing you to
insert the requested paper/envelope. If the operator overrides that request,
the requested size is ignored and the size of the current cassette is used.
If you have previously set the cassette selection to “automatic”, and one of
the cassettes contains the paper size requested in the command above, that
papercassette will automatically be selected, and paper feed will commence
from there. The lamps on the front panel will change after this command has
been processed, to show you what cassette has been selected.
