Description
➊
This code sequence sets the form length to n times the current line feed pitch (in in-
ches). Also the current print position is simultaneously defined as top of form.
The value specified for n must be an integer in the range of 1 to 127. This value is mul-
tiplied by the current line feed pitch to obtain the form length. For example, if 60 is
specified for n and the current line feed pitch is
1 ⁄
6 inch, the form length is set to 10 in-
ches. Once set by this sequence, the form length is not affected by changing the line
spacing. This code sequence is ignored if the value specified for n is not in the range
of 1 to 127.
➋
This code sequence sets the form length to the number of inches specified by n. It
also defines the current print position as top of form.
The value specified for n must be an integer in the range of 1 to 22; otherwise the se-
quence will be ignored.
➌
This code sequence resets the perforation skip function (ESC N).
