Configuring the P-Series Emulation with Control Codes
Form Feed
ASCII Code FF
Hex Code
0C
Dec Code
12
Purpose
Prints the data in the buffer, advances the paper position to the 
next top-of-form and moves the character position to the first 
character column.
Discussion The default forms length is determined by the printer 
configuration. Forms length is set by using the control panel or 
forms length control codes. Code FF cancels all single-line only 
print attributes.
The default form length is 11 inches. The Form Feed command 
will react differently when the VFU is active. Refer to Chapter 7.
Forms Length Set (Inches)
ASCII Code SFCC INCHES; 
n.f
Purpose
Sets the length of forms (paper) in inches.
where
n = 1 through 24 (hex 01 through 18) specify the number of 
inches on a page.
f = fractional number in .5-inch increments (minimum forms 
length is .5 inches).
Discussion Upon receipt of this code, the current line becomes the first line 
of the form, and the form length set becomes the current forms 
length. Vertical tab positions set below the bottom of the form 
are cleared. 
Forms length is defined in inches; therefore, subsequent line 
spacing changes do not affect the result of this command. 
Increments of .5-inch can be specified; for example, sending the 
following command will result in a form length setting of 7
½
 
inches: SFCC INCHES; 7.5
The maximum forms length is 24 inches. All other values are 
ignored. In INCHES mode, incorrect values will produce an error 
message.
Forms length can be set by the control panel. The control code 
forms length setting from the host computer will override the 
control panel setting. If the VFU is enabled and loaded, this 
command is ignored.
