COMMAND 25: FORM FEED USAGE
Enables a Forms Feed from the host system to be converted to the required
number of line feeds (beneficial when forms length is controlled by the
interface).
VALUE DESCRIPTION
0
Pass FF from host to the printer (Laser Printer default)
*1
Count the lines in Command 5 and send multiple line feeds
to the printer in place of the host FF.
EXAMPLE: &%Z25,1
Sets the printer to count the lines specified in
Command 5.
COMMAND 26: SUPPRESS EMPTY FORMS
Blank printout pages caused by Form Feed commands that occur at the top of
a form can be suppressed.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
* 0
No, do not suppress empty forms
1
Yes, suppress empty forms
NOTES: If selected, the coax interface ignores Forms Feed commands located
at the top of form position.
This command affects printing in both DSC and SCS modes. This
differs from the IBM 3287, which suppresses Form Feeds only in DSC
mode.
EXAMPLE: &%Z26,1 Sets the interface to suppress empty forms
COMMAND 27: FF AFTER TIME ELAPSE
Sends a Form Feed if unprinted data remains in the print buffer for the
specified coax port time-out interval in Command 51.
