PRINT FORMAT COMMANDS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS PDL REFERENCE 6-105
TOF
This parameter specifies the top-of-form line number.
Syntax ac:VFU TOF = option(s)
Options Table 6-88 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s).
Points to note
Note the following when using the VFU command:
Any channel operation encountered during printing for an
unassigned channel causes a print-and-space-1-line operation. This
operation occurs even though some vendor formats normally specify
the default as a space-1-line-and-print operation.
Multiple line numbers may be assigned to the same channel number.
This simulates the vertical tabbing feature of an impact line printer
where a skip-to-channel parameter causes transition to the next
punched hole in the specified channel of the paper tape. This tape,
which controls the printer, facilitates spacing a fixed number of lines
down the print page. There may be multiple punches in any vertical
format channel on the impact printer’s tape.
A skip-to-channel parameter in the LPS causes selection of the next
line number in the ASSIGN list (for that channel) larger than the
current line number. Page transition and alignment to the first line
number in the list occurs if no line number is larger than the current
line.
Table 6-88. TOF parameter option(s) and definition(s)
Option(s) Definition(s)
value Specifies the number of lines from the top of the
output page to the first print line on the page (top of
form). The top-of-form specification is independent of
channel assignments. It should be greater than or
equal to 1 and less than or equal to the smallest line
number assigned to a channel.
The default is 1.
