Form Length:

This command can be used to set the form length of a ‘Custom’ size page. You may specify the vertical print area in text lines as defined by the ‘Text Line Spacing’ setting, or in inches.

If using the ‘Lines’ method for setting “custom” form length, the physical height of the page is determined by the vertical space per line as determined by the ‘Text Line Spacing’ command. The minimum value allowed is the number of lines that would equal at least one inch of print because this is the minimum length of paper that will feed properly through the printer. For example, if your current ‘Text Line Spacing’ is set to 6 lines per inch, you must specify at least ‘6’ lines of form length. The maximum setting is 127 lines. For 6 lines per inch, that will provide a page of a little more than 21 inches in length.

If using the ‘Inches’ method for setting form length, the physical height of the page is rounded down if needed to create an even number of print lines as determined by the ‘Text Line Spacing’ command. For example, if your ‘Text Line Spacing’ is set to 6 lines per inch, and you specify 9.6 inches, the application will determine that 57 lines could be printed in this space, and change your inch value to (1/6 x 57) and the display a form length of 9.5 inches.

If you switch modes from ‘Lines’ to ‘Inches’, the form length will be recalculated in inches and displayed accordingly. If you switch from ‘Inches’ to ‘Lines’, the form length will also be recalculated and displayed as the number text lines that will be printed as shown in the example below.
