Loading the Table

The EVFU allows loading a table with a minimum form length of .33 inches (240 decipoints) and a maximum length of 22 inches (15,840 decipoints). Since the maximum length is 22 inches, the number of lines is dependent on the LPI setting. 3 LPI - 66 lines, 4 LPI - 88 lines, 6 LPI - 132 lines, and 8 LPI - 176 lines. Exceeding the maximum causes a fault.

The EVFU can be loaded using ANSI ESC sequences, or by using the paper instruction (PI) line. The following pages describe the use of the EVFU without using the PI line.

Loading is terminated by the ESC \ sequence.

Loading the Table

The first table location is always loaded with the channel 1 code. This is defined as the top of form (TOF) channel. The table may be left without channel 1 and a command to skip to channel 1 will cause a normal formfeed as though there were no VFU.

Two bytes are loaded for each line of the form to be controlled. One or more channel numbers may be indicated in the two byte code.

The format of two byte channel control codes is shown in Table 22.
