Forms Length Set in Lines
ASCII Code ESC C n
Hex Code 1B 43 n
Dec Code 27 67 n
Purpose Sets the length of a form (paper) in lines.
where
n = 1 through 168 (hex 01 through hex A8) to specify the number
of lines per page at the current line spacing.
Discussion The forms length is defined in inches as the quotient of
n divided
by the current lines per inch (lpi) setting. Once the forms length
has been set, subsequent line spacing changes do not affect the
result of this command.
If the forms length is set smaller than the line spacing, a form
feed advances the paper position to the next top-of-form
position.
If the forms length derived from the quotient of
n lines divided by
lines per inch is not an exact multiple of the printer dot
resolution, the value is adjusted down until the forms length and
dot resolution distance match.
Forms length can also be set at the control panel via the
LinePrinter+ Form Length menu option (refer to the
User’s
Manual
). However, this host control code overrides the control
panel setting.
