Paper Size

Paper size is specified in terms of whole inches and 1/6 inch (length), 1/10 inch (width) for pinless paper. Pinfed paper width must be whole inch and 1/2 inch only:

Paper Length: __ __ / 6 inch

Paper Width: __. __ / 10 inch (pinless)/1/2 inch (pinfed)

The paper length and width are entered by specifying two values for each. The first value (on the left) is in whole inches and the second value (on the right) is in fractions of an inch. Note that length and width have different base denominators for the second value. The denominator for length is 6 and for width is 10.

The sum of the two values is taken as the paper length or width value. For example, to enter 8.5” as the paper length, you would enter 8 in the first box and 3 in the second box because 3/6” is equivalent to 0.5”. To enter 8.5 as the paper length, you would enter 8 in the first box and 5 in the second box because 5/10 is equivalent to 0.5”.
