(10) ESC C + n (for setting a form length)

ESC C + n (n + 0), ESC C + [O]H + m (for setting form length)

The “ESC C + n” codes specifies the form length which is determined by the number of lines (n: 1 s (n)n $ 127 where the value of “n” is a positive number and must not exceed 127 lines). In other words, the maximum form length is 127 lines. The amount of line spacing when this code is input is a predetermined numerical value by ESC A+ n. When the form length is not programmed by the ESC C + n code, one page is assumed as 66 lines with the DIP switch pin 1-2 on the control circuit board set in the OFF position, or 72 lines with the DIP switch pin 1-2 set in the ON position. The “ESC C +[O]H+m” code specifies the absolute quantity of form length in units of inches (1 d (m)o 5 22). Therefore, even if the amount of line spacing is changed on the page, the absolute quantity of form length remains unchanged “m”denotes the form length in inches.

NOTES: 1. With the ESC + n code, the form length can be defined by the number of lines using the amount of line spacing set by the ESC A

+ n code. With the ESC C + [O]H + m code, the form length can be defined as an absolute quantity in unit of inches.

2.Input of “ESC C” code cancels theVT set by “ESC6” and the skipover perforation set by “ESC N’.

3.< 0 > Hdenotes hexadecimal “00”.

(1 1) ESC N + n (n # 0) (for setting skip-over perforation)

The ESC N + n code is used to set the skip-over perforation, which specifies the number of lines “r-r”to be skipped at the bottom of a page (n: 1 5 (n)o 5 127 where the value of n is a positive number).

For example, if the last three lines of a page is to be skipped, the value of n must be entered as “3”. Note that the value of n cannot be set greater than the form length specified by the ESC C + n code.

When the current form length is changed by the input of the ESC C + n or ESC C + <O>H + m code again, the amount of skip-over perforation previously set is cancelled. In this case, therefore, the ESC N + n code must be input again to set the amount of skip-over perforation. When the amount of skip-over perforation is not set by the ESC N + n code or the DIP switch pin 2-4 on the control circuit board is OFF, skip-over perforation for 1 inch is executed.
