Forms Length Set (Lines)ASCII Hex Decimal
P–Series SFCC LINES;n
Serial ESC C n
1B 43 n
27 67 n
Purpose Sets the length of a form (paper) in lines.
where n
= 1 to 192 (P–Series) or 1 to 127 (Serial) to
specify the number of lines per page
at the current line spacing.
Comment The
forms length set becomes
the current forms length. Forms length is defined in
inches; therefore, subsequent line spacing changes do not affect the result of this
command.
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, values of
n
in
excess
of 192
causes an error message (Command Line Error Messages are listed on
page 6–3).
If
the calculated forms length in
lines is not an exact multiple of the paper step dis
-
tance,
the forms length value adjusts down to the next possible multiple.
When
forms length is set by the
ESC C sequence, the skip–over perforation is set to
zero.
In P–Series protocol, if the VFU is enabled and loaded, this command is
ignored.
