Purpose

Sets the length of a form (paper) in lines.

where

n = 1 to 192 (P-Series) or 1 to 127 (Serial) to specify the number of lines

per page at the current line spacing.

Comment

The forms length set becomes the current forms length. Forms length is deĆ

fined in inches; therefore, subsequent line spacing changes do not affect the

result of this command.

The forms length is set to the number of lines defined by the quotient of n"

and the current line spacing so that the units are in inches. When using the

ESC C sequence, the quotient of n" and the current lines per inch cannot

exceed 113 inches, or an incorrect forms length will result. In LINES mode,

the maximum form length is 24 inches, and n values in excess of 24 will cause

an error message (Command Line Error Messages are listed on page 6-3).

If the calculated forms length in lines is not an exact multiple of the paper step

distance, the forms length value will be adjusted down to the next possible

multiple.

When forms length is set by the ESC C sequence, the skip-over perforation is

set to zero.

In P-Series protocol, if the VFU is enabled and loaded, this command is igĆ

nored.
