Set Form Length in Inches
ASCII Code ESC C NUL
n
Hex Code 1B 43 00
n
Dec Code 27 67 0
n
Purpose Sets form length to
n
inches.
where
n
= whole numbers from 1 through 24 to specify the number of
inches on a form.
Discussion Upon receipt of this code, the current line becomes the first line
of the form, and the form length set becomes the current forms
length. Vertical tab positions set below the bottom of the form
are ignored. Forms length is defined in inches; therefore,
subsequent line spacing changes do not affect the result of this
command.
Values of
n
greater than 24 are ignored.
When forms length is set by an ESC C sequence, the skip-over
perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.
This control code overrides forms length set at the control panel.
Set Form Length in Lines

n
Hex Code 1B 43
n
Dec Code 27 67
n
Purpose Sets the form length by lines.
where
n
= 1 through 192 (hex 01 through C0) to specify the number of
lines per form at the current line spacing.
Discussion The forms length is set to the number of lines defined by the
quotient of
n
divided by the current lines per inch so that the
units are in inches.
The current line becomes the first line of the form. The forms
length is always defined in inches; therefore, changing the lpi
after this control code has been issued does not change the
forms length.
If the calculated forms length in lines is not an exact multiple of
the target machine dot size, the forms length value will be
adjusted down to the next possible multiple.
When forms length is set by an ESC C sequence, the skip-over
perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.
