Mode

Format

LFORM6; n or LFORM8; n

LFORM6

The Form Length command for 6 lpi forms; enter

LFORM6.

LFORM8

The Form Length command for 8 lpi forms; enter

LFORM8.

n

Specifies the forms length in total number of lines

allowed per form. The range depends on the paper size

used and the top/bottom margin setting. An error

message will result if the maximum line values are

exceeded.

NOTE:

This command affects only printed text inside of IGP/PGL forms, not the

printer lpi. The LFORM8 command considers a line as 9 dot rows; the

LFORM6 command considers a line as 12 dot rows. The 9 and 12 dot rows

per line matches the dot rows of the printer in the DP mode if set to 8 or 6

lpi, respectively.

Example

The following example establishes a forms length of 8 inches (48 lines at 6

lpi):

LFORM6;48
