The Model 8900 Series Printers offer a set of ten predefined form formats. Each of these form formats, designated as A through J, has an associated set of values that defines the parameters of the form. Although these form format parameters are preset at the factory to their default values, the user can select any of the form formats and alter its parameters to fit any specific application. The Model 8900 Series Printers User’s Manual, Part No. 2557785-0002, describes the preset form format parameters and explains how to select and change them. The Select Form Format command selects the form format designated by the variable x, where the value of x can be any of the ten predefined form formats A through J.
