Action:

Specifies parameters regarding the paper.

The fc parameter specifies the forms control. A value of

00h means no change to current setting; 01h specifies

paper; 02h specifies envelopes. For the 3812, the value

02h is not supported.
The sd parameter specifies the paper source drawer.

Valid values are 00h (no change), and from 01h to the

number of drawers installed in the printer.
The do parameter specifies the destination (output) tray

offset. A value of 00h means do not offset; any other

value means offset the tray. This parameter is supported

only by the 3812.
The dd parameter specifies the destination (output)

drawer. Valid values are 00h (no change), and from 01h

to the number of output drawers installed in the printer.

The 3812 jogs (offsets) the output tray if the value is

changed from the last setting.
The pq parameter specifies the print quality for

subsequent text. Valid values are 00h (no change), 01h

(data processing), 02h (near-letter quality) and 03h

(high-speed draft).
For the 5219, a value of 01h specifies ribbon-saver

mode.
For the 3812, a value of 01h allows Computer Output

Reduction, and values of 02h and 03h disallow COR. If

COR is disallowed, portrait mode is used instead.
The dx parameter specifies duplex mode. A value of 00h

specifies no change; 01h specifies simplex (one-sided)

printing; 02h specifies duplex (two-sided, side-binding)

printing; 03h specifies tumble (two-sided, top binding)

printing.
For the 3812, 4214 and 5219, the dx parameter is not

used.
This command is restricted to page boundaries.
