Skip-Over Perforation
P-SERIES SERIAL MATRIX
ASCII Code : N/A ESC N n
Hex Code : N/A 1B 4E n
Purpose : Selects the number of lines (at the current line spacing) for the paper skip" at
the bottom of the perforated page.
Expression : N/A CHR$(27);
”
N
”
;CHR$(n);
where : n = 1 to 127 to select the number of lines to skip. If the value of n exceeds the current
forms length, the sequence is ignored.
Comment : The actual distance set is the product of n" and the current line spacing. FacĆ
tory default value is 1 inch. The current default value may be set by the operaĆ
tor. Setting a new forms length (ESC C) resets skip-over perforation to the
default value. The quotient of forms length (in lines) and lines per inch cannot
exceed 113 inches, or incorrect forms length will result.
Vertical tabs in the skip-over perforation zone are ignored. Skip-over perĆ
foration is disabled when the vertical format unit (VFU) is loaded.
Skip-over perforation can also be selected from the control panel. The conĆ
trol code skip-over perforation setting from the host computer will override
the control panel setting; the control panel display will indicate the setting has
been selected by the host.
