(3) Format specification from the operator panel
The number of lines per page is used to specify the page length at the
operator panel. Thus, a page length specified with 6 LPI differs from
that specified with 8 LPI even if the form is the
same
length.
The number of lines skipped to avoid printing on or too near a perforation
is also specified at the operator panel. (Skip-over perforation feature)
For the setting method, refer to Operator's Guide.
Figure 4.12 is an example of format specification from the operator panel.

4.4.3 Skip and Space commands
The Skip or Space command sent via the I/O interface controls forms feed.
The
Skip or Space command is sent with the Paper Instruction signal after print
data is sent.
(1)
Skip
co-and
Skip commands feed forms up to the line corresponding to the channel
specified in the format control data (in the FCB) after printing.
If data
WIFl
to WIF8 sent with the Paper Instruction signal is the same as that
shown in Table 4.5, the printer (IFC microprogram) determines that the
data indicates a Skip command. The relationship between Skip command data
and specified channel numbers is shown in Table 4.5.
