• Characters per inch (cpi) horizontally
• Dots per inch (300 dpi)
• Linear units (inches or centimeters)
• Lines per inch (lpi) vertically
• Xdots (600 dpi)

• Lines per inch (lpi) vertically
• Xdots (600 dpi)
X and Y coordinates
If you draw a horizontal and vertical line through the form origin to
create x and y coordinates, the location of the form origin is expressed
as y=0, x=0. When specifying both coordinates, provide the y value
first. Figure 3–4 shows the correct placement for x and y coordinates.
