ASCII Code ESC [p1;p2;p3 r

Hex Code 1B 5B p1 3B p2 3B p3 72

Dec Code 27 91 p1 59 p2 59 p3 114

Expression CHR$(27); “[p1;p2;p3r”;

Purpose Defines the form.

p1 = Form length (in decipoints). Maximum allowable length is 22 inches (15,840 decipoints)

p2 = Top margin from top of page. Top of page to first print line.

p3 = Bottom margin from end of page. The last print line to bottom of page.

The default parameters are for a 12 inch long form with a top margin of zero and a bottom margin of zero.

Discussion The printer keeps track of these vertical positions to the nearest half point (5 decipoints).

	1 decipoint = 1/720 inch
	1 point = 10 decipoints (10/720 inch)
	1/2 point = 5 decipoints (5/720 inch)
