Forms Length Set (Lines)
ASCII Code SFCC LINES;
n
Purpose Sets the length of a form (paper) in lines.
where:
n
=1 through192 (hex 01 through C0) to specify the number of
lines per page at the current line spacing.
Comment The forms length is set to the number of lines defined by the
quotient of
n
and the current line spacing so that the units are in
inches.
In LINES mode, the maximum form length is 24 inches, and
n
values in excess of 24 inches causes an error message.
(Command Line Error Messages are listed in Table 2 on page
27.)
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.
If the VFU is enabled and loaded, this command is ignored.
Form Margins, Set
ASCII Code SFCC v
n1 n2 n3 n4
Hex Code SFCC 76
n1 n2 n3 n4
Dec Code SFCC 118
n1 n2 n3 n4
Purpose Selects left (
n1
), right (
n2
), top (
n3
), and bottom (
n4
)form
margins.
where:
n1
=The width of the left margin (hex value) in character
columns at the current cpi. If the requested margin is larger than
the current (form width - right margin), the value is ignored.
n2
=The width of the right margin (hex value) in character
columns at the current cpi. If the requested margin is larger than
the current (form width - left margin), the value is ignored.
n3
=The length of the top margin (hex value) in character lines
at the current lpi. If the requested margin is larger than the
current (form length - bottom margin), the value is ignored.
n4
=The length of the bottom margin (hex value) in character
lines at the current lpi. If the requested margin is larger than the
current(form length - top margin), the value is ignored.
Comment A hex value of FF for
n1
,
n2
,
n3
,or
n4
indicates that the margin
remains unaffected.
When set, the right and bottom margins take effect immediately.
The left margin takes effect for the current line only if no
horizontal motion has occurred for the line; otherwise, it takes
effect on the next line. The top margin always takes effect on the
next form.
