product of the total lines per form and the current lines per inch

(lpi) settings for the printer. For example, a typical 66-line form at

6 lpi is 11 inches long. A 48-line form at 6 lpi is 8 inches long; the

same 48-line form at 8 lpi is 6 inches long.

current print position to the top of the next form.

length defined by this command will set the physical page length

on the printer.
