Chapter 6 Configuring the Epson FX-1050 Emulation with Control Codes

Set Forms Length by Lines

ASCII Code ESC C n

Hex Code

1B 43 n

Dec Code

27 67 n

Purpose

Sets the form length by lines.

where:

n = 1 through 192 (hex 01 through hex C0) to specify the number

 

of lines per form at the current line spacing.

Comment

The forms length is set to the number of lines defined by the

 

quotient of n divided by the current lines per inch so that the

 

units are in inches.

 

The current line becomes the first line of the form. The forms

 

length is always defined in inches; therefore, changing the lpi

 

after this control code has been issued does not change the

 

forms length.

 

If the calculated forms length in lines is not an exact multiple of

 

the target machine dot size, the forms length value is adjusted

 

down to the next possible multiple.

 

When forms length is set by an ESC C sequence, the skip-over

 

perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.

Set Forms Length in Inches

ASCII Code ESC C NUL n

Hex Code

1B 43 00 n

Dec Code

27 67 0 n

Purpose

Sets the form length to n inches.

where:

n = 1 through 24 (hex 01 through hex 18) to specify the number

 

of inches on a form.

Comment

Upon receipt of this code, the current line becomes the first line

 

of the form, and the form length set becomes the current forms

 

length. Vertical tab positions set below the bottom of the form

 

are ignored. Forms length is defined in inches; therefore,

 

subsequent line spacing changes do not affect the result of this

 

command.

 

Values of n greater than 24 are ignored.

 

When forms length is set by an ESC C NUL sequence, the skip-

 

over perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.

 

This control code overrides forms length set at the operator

 

panel.
