and the current line
spacing. Factory default value disables bottom margin. The
current default value may be set by the operator. Setting a new
forms length (ESC C) resets bottom margin to zero. This feature
is disabled whenever vertical tabs are set.

the control panel, are ignored. The control code bottom margin
setting from the host computer overrides the control panel
setting.
