FORM LENGTH

ESC C			Length of Form in Lines
ASCII:	ESC	C	(n)
Control:	CTRL [	C	(n)
Decimal:	27	67	(n)
Hexadecimal:	1B	43	(n)

Sets form length to n number of lines. n must be from 1 to 255. The default setting is 66 lines. The current form position becomes the top of form when the printer receives this command.

If the bottom margin was previously set by the Skip Over Perforation command (ESC N), the Length of Form in Lines command cancels the bottom margin setting. Therefore, to re-establish the bottom margin after the Length of Form in Lines command is set, send another Skip Over Perforation command.

Form length is stored as an absolute length equal to the line spacing multiplied by the specified number of lines. That form length remains in effect even if the line spacing is changed.

Example

REM SET FORM LENGTH TO 50 LINES

LPRINT CHR$(27);"C";CHR$(50);
