Comment
n is the number of lines skipped between the last line printed on
one page and the first line on the next page. The actual distance
set is the product of
one page and the first line on the next page. The actual distance
set is the product of
n and the current line spacing. If the value of
n exceeds the current form length, the skip is set to one line
smaller than the form length or to 0, whichever is greater.
