Set Form Length By Lines
73
Set Form Length By Lines
ASCII Code ESC C
n
Hex Code 1B 43 n
Dec Code 27 67 n
Purpose Sets the form length by lines.
Where:
n
= 1 through 127 to specify the number of lines per form at the
current line spacing. 0 <
n
x (current line spacing) < = 22
inches.
Comment The current line becomes the first line of the form. The forms
length units are always defined in inches; therefore,
subsequent line spacing changes do not affect the result of this
command. Changing lpi does not change the forms length.
The forms length is set to the number of lines defined by the
quotient of
n and the current line spacing so that the units are in
inches.
If the calculated forms length in lines is not an exact multiple of
the target machine dot size, the forms length value will be
adjusted down to the next possible multiple.
When forms length is set by an ESC C sequence, the skip-over
perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.
This command affects the front panel setting of “Funct. of
Lines.”
