Paper Types

When defining printers, you can select from predefined paper types or add new paper types from the Form menu. This table describes the paper type definitions available for new paper types:

Paper Type Definitions

Description

Paper Type

Enables you to select the type of paper that the defined printer supports, such as legal, letter, and A4.

Paper Height

Enables you to enter a value that indicates the height of the paper for the selected paper type.

Paper Width

Enables you to enter a value that indicates the width of the paper for the selected paper type.

Unit of Measure

Enables you to enter the unit of measure used to indicate the paper height and width.

The system saves the new paper type and displays it on the Work With Paper Types form. When the definition is complete, the new paper type is available in the grid area of the Printer Setup form. All previous paper type selections are cleared and must be redefined.
