#164556 - It only feeds in portrait format Responding to: ???'s previous message |
but it can print, with proper software, in landscape. It's simple rotation ... BUT ... the entire bitmap normally has to be in memory. Additionally, pixel resolution may have to be modified, i.e. 15-16 pixel expansion, or the like.
There IS a problem, though. So long as it's unknown what the source format is, i.e. how many terabytes of source data per picodot, we can't even guess what's required. Until the necessary specifications are provided by the O/P, there's no benefit in wasting another bit of bandwidth on this issue. RE |

| Indeed, but one is a subset of the other. | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| You would do banded output | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| No | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
You're right within the scope of your thinking | 01/01/70 00:00 |
