Set Page Length in Lines: Sets the forms length to n lines. The value for form length is stored in inches and will not change when line spacing Is changed. This sequence resets the top of form value to the current line position and resets the perforation skip mode. Form lengths of zero or greater than 22 inches are ignored and leave the existing form unchanged. The parameter limits are 1-255.

Set Page Length in Inches: Sets the forms length from 1 to 22 inches depending on the value for the parameter n. This sequence resets the top of form value to the current line position and resets the perforation skip mode. Form lengths of zero or greater than 22 inches will be ignored and leave the existing form unchanged. The parameter limits are 1-255.

Set Skip Over Perforation: Sets a bottom margin region to avoid printing on the perforation when using continuous forms. The parameter n determines the number of print lines to be included in the skip area. This is converted to an absolute distance in inches based on the current line spacing value. Subsequent changes to the line spacing will not automatically change this setting. When form length is changed (by ESC C NUL n or ESC C n), the skip perforation is cleared. If the skip value exceeds the form's length, it is ignored. A parameter value of zero leaves the previous setting unchanged.

Set Left Margin: Sets the left margin to n columns in the current cpi. When proportional mode is in effect, the settings are treated as though they were set for pica (10 cpi horizontal). Before the new margin is set, all print data is flushed. The minimum space allowed between the left and right margin is the distance equal to the width of one double-wide pica character. This command clears any existing horizontal tabs and installs the defaults (every eight columns).

Set Right Margin: Sets the right margin to n columns in the current pitch. When proportional mode is selected, the settings are the same as they would be for pica pitch (10cpi horizontal). The minimum space between the left and right margin is the width of two pica characters. Note that before the right margin is set, this command sequence causes all print data to be flushed. Column numbering begins at zero. If the right margin value is invalid (within the width of two pica characters of the left margin or exceeds the maximum columns), the current margin is unchanged. This command clears any existing horizontal tabs and installs the defaults (every 8 columns based on the left margin).
