NOTE
If octal codes %55 and %60 are selected with automatic page eject in effect (by
default or following an octal code of %102 or %402), the resulting skip is to a
location absolute to the page. A code of %60 is replaced by %303, and a code of
%55 is replaced by %304. Therefore, the resulting skip can be less than two or
three lines, respectively.
If automatic page eject is not in effect, a true double or triple space results,
but the perforation between pages is not automatically skipped. For the HP
