Set page length in lines ............. ESC C n 1B 43 n 27 67 n This sequence sets the number of lines per page and sets the top-
of-form at the current line position. The value of variable n (0 to
182) determines the number of lines per page. Variable n should
equal the actual form length in inches divided by the current line
spacing. For example, if the current form length is 11 inches and
the line spacing is 1/6 inch, 11 divided by 1/6 is 66--so n should
equal 66 decimal. The number of lines per page is unaffected
by subsequent changes to line spacing.
Set page length in inches .......... ESC C NUL n 1B 43 00 n 27 67 0 n This sequence sets the number of inches per page and sets the
top-of-form at the current line position. The value of variable n
(1 to 30) determines the number of inches per page. For
example, if the form length is 11 inches, the correct n value is 11
decimal.
