Command 25 IBM Motion Commands | Black Box A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO

A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO

COMMAND 25: IBM MOTION COMMANDS

Enables a Form Feed from the host system to be converted to the required number of line feeds (beneficial when forms length is controlled by the interface).

VALUE	DESCRIPTION
*0	Pass FF from host
	to the printer

1Count the lines in Command 5 and send multiple line feeds to the printer in place of the host

FF

2Ignore all IBM Motion Commands

Example: &%Z25,1 sets the printer to count the lines specified in Command 5.

COMMAND 26: SUPPRESS EMPTY FORMS

Suppresses blank printout pages caused by form feed commands that occur at the top of a form.

VALUE	DESCRIPTION
*0	No, do not
	suppress empty
	forms

1Yes, suppress empty forms

*Factory-default setting.

NOTES

If 1 is selected, the interface

ignores form feed commands located at the top of form position.

This command affects printing in both DSC and SCS modes. This differs from the IBM 3287, which suppresses form feed only in DSC mode.

Example: &%Z26,1 sets the interface to suppress empty forms.

COMMAND 27: FF AFTER TIME ELAPSE

Sends a Form Feed if unprinted data remains in the print buffer for the coax-port timeout interval specified in Command 51.

VALUE	DESCRIPTION
*0	No extra FF is sent

1Send FF after timeout value

NOTE

In most cases, the host application generates a termination FF and there is no need to change this command from the default.

Example: &%Z27,1 sends a FF after time delay selected by command 51 (default = 5 sec.) when unprinted data remains in the print buffer.
