APPENDIX B — SCS/DCA COMMAND SUMMARY

Command:

Form Feed (FF)

Format:

0C

Printers:

3812, 4214, 5219, 5224, 5225, 5256

Action:

Moves the current print position to the top line of the

next logical page. The print position is restored to the

current indent level, or to the left margin if there is no

indent.
Most IBM host system print spoolers use the Form Feed

character to delimit and count pages. For this reason,

only Form Feed should be used to move to a new page.
Vertical movement commands other than Form Feed

should not be used to move to a new page.

IBMEMUL:

PFS 7 — FF is sent to the printer. Normally this PFS

sends a Form Feed character to the printer.
Support for source paper drawer selection on some target

printers requires that PFS 7 — FF be empty. See Page

Presentation Media (PPM) for more information.

275EMUL:

FF is sent to printer.

On the 3812 and 5219, the current print position is

level set, the current print position is returned to the left

margin.
