Forms Length Set (Inches)
ASCII Code ESC C 0 n
Hex Code 1B 43 00H n
Dec Code 27 67 0 n
Purpose Sets the length of forms (paper) in inches.
Discussion When ESC C 0 n sets the forms length, n alone is measured in inches,
with a range of 1 through 21. All other values are ignored.
If the active print position is set to column 1, line 1 and printing has occurred
on the page, perform a form feed to clear the buffer. If no printing has
occurred, you need not invoke a form feed command. Forms length is
defined in inches; therefore, subsequent line spacing changes do not affect
the result of this command.
Forms length can also be set by the form length setting on the control panel.
The command forms length setting from the host computer overrides the
control panel setting and is reflected on the display when F/L is pressed.
A Forms Length Set code can occur at any place in the datastream and is
acted upon immediately. All control codes that define vertical distance
expressed in inches are stored internally in units of paper drive steps.
NOTE: To check the exact value of the current forms length with the printer
off–line, activate the forms length setting on the operator control
panel.
