SETMODE Operations
SETMODE Functions
A FASTP network print process responds to the SETMODE functions and parameters
described in Table 2-10. Any other values cause the SETMODE function to be ignored.
Table 2-10. Supported SETMODE Functions and Parameters for FASTP Network
Print Processes (page 1 of 3)
Function Supported Parameters and Their Effects
5 Set system automatic perforation-skip mode (assumes standard VFU
fun
ction in channel 2)
The following parameter values are supported:
param1 = 1 Issue an automatic form feed every <formlen> lines.
<formlen
> defaults to 60 lines unless changed by
SETMODE 25. This is the default value.
= 0 Do NOT issue an automatic form feed to skip the
per
foration.
Note: param2 is ignored for FASTP network print processes.
6 Set system spacing control (affects CR/LF control).
The param1 and param2 values are used in combination (param1,
p
aram2) as follows:
1,1 Send LF and CR on every line. This is the default value.
1,0 Same as 1,0.
0,1 Send no LF or CR; the print job must contain any required form
control comman
ds. This value is known as transparent mode.
0,0 Send CR on every line. This setting is rarely used.
Any form-control commands precede or follow
the print data according to
the value specified by SETMODE 27.
25 Set form length (can be used to change the page length from the default
value
of 60).
The following parameter values are supported:
param1 = n where n e
quals the number of lines the FASTP network
print process should use to determine when to perform
perforation skip (page advance).
Note: If SETMODE 25 is used in a FONT job, the SETMODE 25 value is
subst
ituted for the job page size.
27 Set system-spacing mode.
The following parameter values are supported:
param1 = 0 Use postspace mode; line-spacing commands follow the
print dat
a. This is the default value.
= 1 Use prespace mode; line-spacing commands precede the
print dat
a.
The line-spacing commands are determined by SETMODE 6.
