LPI values supported

Lines per inch means the number of characters that can be printed vertically within an inch.

Each entry in the following table shows the valid range of values for lines per page for each printer type and for each value of lines per inch (LPI) valid for the printer.

Note:
Because of slight adjustments made for position checks, it is recommended to not print on line 1 when specifying 8 or 9 LPI on an IPDS™ printer.
