Forms Menu

This menu allows you to set various options associated with paper handling:

SHORT TEAR OFF	When using fanfold (continuous) paper, this Short Tear
	Off option allows you to tear off one sheet of paper
	without having to eject the whole of the following sheet.
	If this option is set [ON*], when the paper reaches the top
	of the form, it will automatically be advanced a little,
	allowing you to tear off the paper easily. Set this option
	to [OFFI if you do not want to use it.
SKIP OVER	When using fanfold (continuous) paper, you may wish
PERFORATION	printing to stop a little before the bottom of each sheet,
	and start printing a little after the beginning of the next (in
	other words, skipping over the perforation). This is useful
	if you want to produce program listings, etc. This can be
	enabled by setting this option [ONI, or, if using software
	which performs this function automatically, it can be set
