Form Length and Form Feed

Form length is the distance from the top of the form to the bottom of the form. A form feed will advance the paper to the top of the next form. Some programs do not send form feeds. Instead, they count line feeds, and send the appropriate number of line feeds to fill out the page. The usual rational is that the program is then in complete control of form length, and will work on any printer without requiring the correct form length to be set. However, the correct form length should always be set with the control panel setup. Even if the program does not use form feeds, the printer will automatically scroll a completed form up to the tear bar to be torn off. This automatic scroll is based upon form length. The easiest way to set form length is via the “Form Length” value in the forms menu, so it will be correctly set for everyone using the form.

Form Feed

FF

Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper to the top of the next form. If a top margin is set, printing will continue at the top margin. Setting “Host FF at TOF” to “No” in the interface setup menu (not available for all interfaces) allows a form feed to be ignored if the paper is already at top of form. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface setup menu, a carriage return will also be performed.
