EVFU

6–4

Line Spacing

Either 6 or 8 lpi may be used in conjunction with the EVFU. Forms length is

determined by the line density selected and is much easier to calculate if only

one line density is used throughout the form. Do not mix 6 lpi and 8 lpi on

the same form. If they are mixed, the result will be an uncertain forms length.

If mixing is unavoidable, calculate the correct forms length as follows:

a.

Count the number of lines printed and 6 lpi and divide by 6; the

result will be in inches.

b.

Count the number of lines printed at 8 lpi and divide by 8; this

result will also be in inches.

c.

Add the two results; the sum should not exceed the forms’ length.

The form’s length must be set in lines, not inches, if the EVFU is

loaded.

EVFU Memory

After printing all the forms in the run, clear the EVFU memory for the next

form program by sending a Start Load command or by momentarily turning

the printer power OFF and then ON.

End Load Code – 6F (Hex)

The EVFU End Load code is 6F (hex) with the PI line higher. Sending the

End Load code terminates the EVFU memory load routine. After the EVFU

is loaded, an L appears on the second line of the ONLINE/OFFLINE display.

If the EVFU is subsequently disabled, the load will remain valid.

If the EVFU is already loaded, an End Load code will assign the current line

as the new TOF line.
