Operator Menu ⇒ VFU

VFU Category (Vertical Format Units)

Use the Arrow and Enter keys to select Menu => Operator Menu => VFU to get here.

VFU Enable

A Vertical Format Unit is a means for loading sets of vertical tabs. These vertical tabs define various parameters of a form and apply only to the emulations which make explicit use of the VFU channels. Setting this to Enabled causes the printer to use the last loaded EVFU instead of using the Form Length, Top Margin, and Bottom Margin settings. When an EVFU is loaded, this parameter is automatically set to Enabled. The default is Disabled.

VT Channel (Vertical Tab Channel)

You can select which VFU Channel is designated as the Vertical Tab Channel. This parameter applies only to the emulations which make explicit use of the VFU channels. Options are 1 - 12 and Unused. The default depends on the emulation as defined in the table on page 3-57 under Ser/Par Emulation.

Skip When

This parameter applies only to the emulations which make explicit use of the VFU channels. It designates where the Skip Length distance will begin - before or after the Bottom of Form channel. The Skip location is determined by using the designated Bottom-of-Form Channel in the downloaded VFU. The Skip When only functions when the VFU Environment is Enabled. The default depends on the emulation as defined in the table on page 3-57 under Ser/Par Emulation.
