PF - Programmable advance past Top of Form- This feature allows
the V8.5e to line up with the beginning of pages when a media
whose TOF marks do not meet the V8.5e specifications.
NOTE: iSys recommends only the use of approved media in the V8.5e
which has been qualified to increase plotter life and produce higher
quality plots.
Once the PF feature is selected in the menu, the V8.5e will detect
the media TOF mark and continue to advance the media by the
amount programmed when a formfeed or end of transmission is
commanded.
This feature is enabled by setting the formfeed menu to “PF”
The advance range is from 01 hex --- 10 scans (approx 0.05”)
to
ff hex --- 2550 scans (approx 12.5”)
in increments of 10 scans for each hex number.
Once the menu has been set to “ PF ”, the amount of advance past
TOF which has been programmed into the V8.5e will be used until
it is changed. The default value is 23 Hex.
To program the amount of advance past TOF, send header:
98 XY 0A (where XY is the hex# of groups of 10 scans).
If the V8.5e accepts the setup string, the display will flash
