Formatting Features
Page length, top
of
form, and form feed
After you set the page length,
the
printer
knows
what
size
paper
you
are
using.
When
you switch
your
printer
on,
the
current
location of the
print
head
is recorded as the
top
of form,
the
position
of
the first line
of
printing on the
page
below
the
top
margin. Inserting a Form Feed
command
after printing several
lines
moves
the
paper
to the first
printing
line of the next page.
