6287 ULTRA User’s Manual

Set Line Density (SLD) — 2BC6h

The Set Line Density command is used to set the vertical line spacing to 6 or 8 lines per inch. The ULTRA accepts this command and sends the proper programmable function string to the printer. If the assigned PFS is empty, the command is ignored, and no data is output to the printer.

Set Vertical Format (SVF) — 2BC2h

The Set Vertical Format command is used to set top and bottom page margins, vertical tab stops that are used by the vertical tab command, and to set the maximum presentation line for the page. The SVF command has multiple parameters in the following format:

(SVF)(CNT)(MPL)(TM)(BM)(T1)...(TN) Where:

SVF The Set Vertical Format command code = 2BC2h

CNT A Count of the number of bytes in this command string, including the count byte.

MPL The length of the page. 1-127 are valid.

TM The line number of the Top Margin for the page. TM is also the first vertical tab stop. The TM value will be set to the default value of 1.

BM The line number of the Bottom Margin of the page. When this line number is exceeded, the printer automatically skips to the next page. BM must be less than or equal to MPL. The default value is MPL.

T1-TN The line numbers of the vertical tab stop settings, if any. Valid tab stops are greater than or equal to TM and less than or equal to BM. The tab stops must be listed in ascending order.

Note: All parameters are single byte binary numbers.
