The Model 8900 Series Printers offer a set of ten predefined form
formats. Each of these form formats, designated as A through J, has an
associated set of values that defines the parameters of the form. Although
these form format parameters are preset at the factory to their default
values, the user can select any of the form formats and alter its
parameters to fit any specific application. The Model 8900 Series
Printers User’s Manual,
Part No. 2557785-0002, describes the preset
form format parameters and explains how to select and change them.
The Select Form Format command selects the form format designated
by the variable x, where the value of x can be any of the ten predefined
form formats A through J.
