The form feed (CHR$(12)) in line 30 caused the printer to
move to the top of a new page before printing the last two lines.
A note to TRSSO users: CHR$(12) is a problem code for the
TRSSO. To send a form feed command to Delta you must add 128
to it making it CHR$(140). Use CHR$(140) where we use
CHR$(12) in these programs.
Changing the Page Length
You may have some computer forms that you wish to use with
Delta that are not 11 inches high. That’s no problem, because you
can tell Delta how high the forms are that you are using. There are
two commands for doing this, shown in this table:
