Xerox LPS PDL/DJDE Reference Manual.

Once you determine the actual page size (physical page)
available for your printer, you can specify any size within the
physical page size for your form. 

Contact your System Administrator to determine available paper
sizes.  

For a list of paper sizes for the family of Xerox laser printers, refer
to the “Supported paper sizes” appendix.

Careful spacing and form measurements can help ensure a
smooth conversion to an electronic format.  As an option, a
design ruler can be ordered to measure character and line
spacing on your draft form or paper original.  Contact your
appropriate Xerox customer representative for ordering
information.

The design ruler is approximately 15 inches long, with eight
scales, four on each side.  The scales are defined as follows: 

Scale 1 (10/INCH)—Output character spacing.  You can also use
this scale to measure inches, graduated in tenths.

Scale 2 (6/INCH)—Output line spacing for 6 lines per inch (lpi).

Scale 3 (8/INCH)—Output line spacing for 8 lpi.

Scale 4 (12/INCH)—Output line spacing for 12 characters per
inch (cpi) or 12 lpi.

Scale 5 (13.6/INCH)—Default output character spacing for 13.6
characters per inch (cpi).

Scale 6 (8.1/INCH)—Default output line spacing for 66 lines per
landscape page.

Scale 7 (10.7/INCH)—Output line spacing on for 88 lines per
landscape page.

Scale 8 (15/INCH)—Output line spacing for 15 cpi or 15 lpi.
