Line Print Text is a text format which positions the text components of the report to approximate the same results on a fixed-width display or line printer.

The LPT render properties consist of two values, Character width and Character height. The values describe the size of a single character on the target device, hence how the layout of the template is positioned. For example the character height indicates how many newline characters are needed to descend the appropriate distance down the page and the character width then indicates how many spaces are inserted to push the text to the correct position. For example, a line of text at 600,600 (twips) would be at location (4,2) on a character grid with the default character size of (150,300) twips.
