Once the EVFU program has been enabled and loaded, sending the
appropriate channel code to the printer will cause any data in the buffer to
print and will move the paper to the next line on the form having the specified
channel number assigned in EVFU memory.

The Default

LPI setting under the following conditions:

When the printer is initialized.

When either the forms definition or LPI setting is changed.

When the start EVFU load escape sequence ESC ]! is immediately
followed by the end load sequence ESC \.

When the clear vertical tabs ESC [4g sequence is received.
