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
	Wm.
AUTO LF	If set [ONI, this will expand all received carriage return
	codes to a line feed and carriage return pair. However,
	this may be set [OFF*] if your software demands it.
AUTO CR	If set [ON*], this function will expand all received line
	feed codes to a carriage retum and line-feed pair. How-
	ever, this may be set [OFF] if you do not want to be
	expanded.
LINES PER INCH	This sets the number of lines per vertical inch which will
	be printed to [3 LPI], [4 LPI], [6 LPI*] or [8 LPI].
PAGE LENGTH	The page length may be set by means of the DIP switches
	[DIP-SW*] (see Chapter 5 for details) or to any of the
	following lengths (in inches): 131,13.51, [41, [X5], [6],
	[7], [8], [8.5], [11.7] or [141. A4 paper is equivalent tc
	11.7 inches, while the DIP switch settings of 11 inches
	and 12 inches will normally be used for fanfold paper.
