Purpose

Prints the data in the buffer, advances the paper to the next top–of–form, and moves
the printhead to the first character column.

Comment

The default forms length is determined by the configuration in nonvolatile memory.
Forms length is set by using the control panel F/L switch or forms length control
codes. Code FF cancels all single–line only print attributes.

The Form Feed command reacts differently in the P–Series and Serial Matrix emu-
lation modes when the VFU is active. Refer to the Vertical Format Units chapter.
