DECTFM Terminate Forms Sequence: Terminates the printing of a form.
General Command Syntax
ESC # SP 1”
Indeterminate Conditions
If no form is selected, this sequence is ignored. Many special
conditions might affect the printer output see the note below for
further information.
Decimal: 27 19 32 49
Hex: 1B 23 20 31
BASIC: CHR$(27);”# 1”;
Notes
The following commands are not to be included in the form data or
fill-in data:
▪ Load a form or logo
▪ Delete a form or logo
▪ Invoke a Digital sequence
▪ Invoke an ESC sequence. This will exit you from the Form Mode.
The following conditions will affect the output or performance:
▪ Encoded escape cannot start in the form and continue in the fill-
in data, nor can the reverse occur.
▪ Changes mode to the font, cursor position, density, or mode are
not restored after you terminate a Form Sequence.
▪ Block characters used in a form must begin and end on the same
page.
▪ Since mode settings, fonts, and spacing parameters can be
changed between the time the form is loaded and the item is
selected, the environment of the form (PUM or SSU) should be
established in the form data.
▪ If ESC, CAN, or SUB is embedded in the form string, it will
terminate form loading and the form will be discarded. Encoding
DCS, RIS, CAN, or SUB in a form string will also stop form
loading.
▪ If the form length in the header does not agree with the length of
the form string received, the form is discarded. If the form is not
terminated by a Form Feed, and does not contain at least one
form-switch character, a form-switch character and a Form Feed
will be added at the end of the form.
▪ In general, the number of switch characters in the form data
should be one more than the number of switch characters in the
fill-in data.
When using bar codes, note the following:
▪ When using bar codes as part of the form data, make sure that
the control character encoding character in the bar code differs
from the control character encoding character in the Loading
Form sequence.
