Code
3. A
second start load code is received, resulting in reinitialization
of the D
VFU. This allows
the
host data to be restarted.
4.
The first byte sent after the start load does not specify top-of-form.
The DVFU data is ignored if the DVFU has not been selected from the control panel. DeseĆ
lecting the DVFU returns the forms length 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:
1.
PI line must be set high;
2.
Data bit 5 must be 1 (set); and
3.
The D
VFU must be the selected V
ertical F
ormat Unit.
The
Slew R
elative configuration and the status
of data bits 1-4 determine the number of lines
slewed as described in Table 5-6. (Note that the state of data bit 5 is the difference between
line slewing and using the interface lines as DVFU channel codes.) As long as the DVFU is
selected,
this type of vertical paper
motion will occur regardless of whether the D
VFU memory
is
loaded or not.
If
the Double High for One Line attribute is active, n + 1 lines will be slewed rather than n lines.
