2.4 Summary of PCC Command Parameters
The PCC command enables the user to create a table (or modify an existing standard table)
of one-byte printer carriage control codes and define their action. Line spacing, skip-to-
channel, and printing actions are all defined through this parameter.
The user specifies an identifier when defining the PCC table and references it in the PC-
CTYPE parameter of the LINE command.
ADVTAPE This parameter specifies if an advance to a new page is to occur when two
successive channel-skip parameters are issued with no intervening print.
For example, on most printers, the actions: PSK1 (print-and-skip-to-chan-
nel-1) followed by SK1N (skip-to-channel-1, do not print) would cause a
blank page to be output. However, on a 1403 printer, these actions would
not cause a blank page to be output.
ASSIGN This parameter specifies printer carriage control exceptions to a default
table (refer to DEFAULT parameter).
DEFAULT This parameter allows selection of a set of printer carriage control codes.
A table may be selected and then specific control codes may be modified
with the ASSIGN parameters.
INITIAL This parameter specifies the initial reference point (TOF or BOF) from
which a report performs its first carriage control function.
MASK This parameter specifies an 8-bit value to be ANDed with the printer car-
riage control byte being processed.

ADVTAPE=
YES YES
Specifies that multiple skips are honored. Y N N
ADVTAPE=
NO NO
Specifies that multiple skips result in only one skip ac-
tion being taken. Note that SK1P (skip-to-channel-1-
and-print) followed by a second SK1P results in a
page transition since printing occurred on the first
page (even if blanks were printed).
The default is YES.
