A-Shell Consolidated Reference

LPP = <# lines per page>

Example:   LPP = 62

(Windows only, PASSTHROUGH must be off.) The LPP command defines the number of lines to be printed on each page, and interacts with the PITCH setting. When LPP is specified and PITCH is not set to AUTO, the vertical line spacing (but not font size) is adjusted to squeeze that many lines onto the page. However, when PITCH=AUTO, the LPP value (defaulting to 66 if not specified) determines the height of the font selected. If LPP is omitted and PITCH is not AUTO, LPP will be computed based on the font and page size. Also note that the top margin (TMARGIN) will be included in the LPP value, so if LPP=66 and TMARGIN=4, then there will be only 62 printable lines per page.
