10.8 Page Control
The following commands facilitate the definition of a print job page.
10.8.1 Page Length
Designates the number of lines on the logical page at the current VMI (Vertical Motion Index)
setting.
This command performs the following actions:
44
Prints any unprinted pages.
44
Ejects the current page if printable data has been received (FF-CR).
44
Sets text length, top margin, left margin, and right margin to user defaults.
44
Moves CAP to the left edge of the logical page at the top of form.
The printer may select a different page size for the same line count, since lines are defined by
the current VMI. This command is ignored if VMI is 0.
For comparison purposes, the following table lists the page length line values associated with
some standard paper sizes. To calculate the number of lines per page, multiply lines per inch
(lpi) times the length of the physical page. For example, US Letter size paper is 11 inches;
therefore, 6 x 11 = 66.
