. Loading data from the host to the FCB
. Loading data from the FCT
. Form length specification on the operator panel
The printer has the FCB and the form length specification feature. An FCT unit
can be incorporated as an option.
When an FCT is not used, format control data is transferred from the host to
the printer online and loaded in its FCB. When the FCT is used, the format
control data is transferred from the FCT unit to the printer offline mode and
is loaded in its FCB.
The format control data indicates channel numbers,

The format specification from the operator panel is not selected when the
format has been specified from the host or FCT in the FCB.
However,
specification from the operator panel can be used in TEST
