NOTE: The ESC code cannot be used simultaneously as the EVFU VT code and the

Clearing the EVFU Memory
The
following actions will reset (clear) the EVFU memory:
1.
Sending only the start load code.
2.
Sending a start load code followed immediately by an end load code.
3. A second start load code is received, resulting in reinitialization of the EVFU. (This alĆ
lows
the host data to be restarted.)
When the EVFU memory is cleared, the forms length returns to the previously set value and
the
current print position becomes the top-of-form (TOF).
Relative Line Slewing
Another
method of moving paper using the PI
line results in vertical slews of a specified num
Ć
ber of lines within the form relative to the current print line (rather than slewing to a specific
line).
F
or this to occur, three criteria must be met:
