SCS Page Formatting (Group #10)

11 — SCS left margin

SCS SHF commands will override this setting. Refer to Section 7 for details.
The left margin default is 01, but it may be set to any value between 01 and

the value of the right margin (see below). After a CR sequence, the ALLY

PLUS will check this parameter. If the option is set to a value other than 01

and a CR has been output, the ALLY PLUS will output spaces to reach the

proper column. Here are some examples for setting this option:

!ALLY!11=01;

left margin is the first column (default)

!ALLY!11=05;

the ALLY PLUS will send four spaces to get to

column five before putting a printable character

on the page

12 — SCS right margin

SCS SHF commands will override this setting. Refer to Section 7 for details.
The right margin places a limit on the number of printable columns

available to the host application. This value represents the last column at

which the ALLY PLUS will allow any character to be printed before

sending out a CR/LF sequence.
A value of 00 implies an infinite line length. This is the desired setting if the

host application is sending new lines. If the application does not send new

lines, this option should be set to a non-zero value.
The default value is 84 (or 132 decimal), but the user may select any value

between the value of the left margin and FF (255 decimal).

!ALLY!12=84;

the right margin is column 132 (default)

!ALLY!12=FE;

before column 255 is printed, the ALLY PLUS

will send out a new line

Note: A value of 00 implies an infinite line length. In infinite line length, the

ALLY PLUS will not send a CR/LF to the printer unless the user or the

user’s application has embedded a CR/LF in the data stream. To avoid

unexpected formatting results, this option should be set to 00 (infinite line

length) if any of the following are true:
