Description When the printer receives this code, it prints the data in the print buffer, then advances
the paper from the current pritn position to the top-of-form position on the next page.

Cut sheet:

Forms are ejected. The first print position on the following paper is the first (top) physi-
cally possible position.

Fanfold paper:

The paper is moved by the form length given before. The first print position on the follow-
ing paper is the first (top) physically possible position.
The FF code can also give a carriage return if automatic carriage return is selected (refer
to Operator’s Manual). The next print is started in the column following the print end of
the last print-out if no CR is transmitted.
After switching on the printer the default form length is set to 12 inches (72 lines) per
page (Europe 12"; USA 11").
