C Grid Samples

The Standard Grid, provided on page 282, is used to design your form

layout. At 6 lines per inch (lpi) and 10 characters per inch (cpi) printing, a

standard 8-1/2 x 11-inch sheet of paper has a print area of 66 lines (rows) and

85 characters (columns). (The printable area will vary if you are not printing at

6 lpi and 10 cpi.) Thus, the grid used to design an 8-1/2 x 11-inch form should

accommodate this 66 x 85 area.

The Logo Grid, provided on page 283, is used to design custom logos.

Remember, with the logo grid, you must define the dot positions for each 7-bit

vertical

data byte, and each vertical data byte equals 1/10-inch, or one “row.”

Each vertical data byte represents data used in the Plotting Graphics

(Columns) command (Q) described on page 105 of the “Commands” chapter.

Refer to the “Exercises and Examples” chapter for more information on

designing a logo.
