SET LP
terminal. You can use this mode for LS11 line printers. (Other line printers
print a space for a control character.)
NOCTRL, the default, ignores nonprinting control characters.
ENDPAG=n
Sets the LP handler to append n form feed characters to the end of each file
sent to the printer. If ENDPAG=0, the LP handler does not append a form feed
character to the end of each file sent to the printer. The default value for n is 0.
[NO]FORM
FORM, the default, declares that the line printer has hardware form feeds,
causing the line printer handler to send form feeds to the controller. When
you use this option, the line printer handler sends the form feed character to the
printer each time the handler encounters a form feed.
NOFORM causes the line printer handler to simulate hardware form feeds by
sending one or more line feeds to the printer. When you use this setting, you
must also use the LENGTH=n setting and position the paper at the top of
a form (that is, at the page perforation) before you start to use the printer.
Using the NOFORM condition is useful if you are using a preprinted form that
has a nonstandard length. You must use this setting if your printer does not
accommodate form feeds. FORM is the default setting.
[NO]FORM0
FORM0, the default, issues a form feed before printing block 0.
NOFORM0 does not issue a form feed before printing block 0.
[NO]HANG
HANG, the default, waits for you to make a correction if the line printer is not
ready or is not ready at some point during printing. If you expect output from
the line printer and the system does not respond or appears to be idle, check to
see if the line printer is powered on and ready to print.
NOHANG generates an immediate error if the line printer is not ready. Valid
only when you are running under a monitor with device timeout support (included
during system generation). The default is HANG.
[NO]LC
LC allows RT–11 to send lowercase characters to the printer. Use this condition
if your printer has a lowercase character set.
NOLC, the default, translates characters in lowercase to uppercase before
printing. This is the normal mode.
LENGTH=n
Defines the length of page; causes the line printer to use n as the number of lines
for each page. The default number of lines for each page is 66. Use this option
with the NOFORM and SKIP=n settings.
