PRINT PLOT FORMS MOVEMENT EXERCISER
'. PROGRAM
The print plot forms movement exerciser program is used
to check the 5103 Printer for forms movement problems.
This program is contained on the print plot/BASIC or
the print plot/APL tape cartridge or diskette. The print-
out of the program follows:
'---,.---"---",...,,--c,:-----:,....,--,,---,,....,--,---,-,--'--'-------, -:--,-,
-------,----- 1.1
The program plots two sets of parallel horizontal lines. " I
These lines are tolerance lines. The program then alternatel-y ,
plots one dot at a time within each set of tolerance lines. If ,
the forms movement is working correctly, the dots should
be plotted within the tolerance lines. After plotting all of
the dots, the program then plots the parallel vertical lines.
If the forms movement is working correctly, these lines
should be the same length as the distance between the top
,f

i' l '
and bottom horizontal lines; the density of the vertical lines
I' ,
should be consistent.

Use the following procedure to run the print plot/BASIC
exerciser program:
1. Load the print plot/BASIC forms movement exerciser
program. See
Appendix
A.
Print Plot/BASIC Forms
Movement Exerciser Program of the IBM 5110
Print Plot/BASIC User's Manual, SA21-9310 or load
the print plot/APL program. See Appendix A. Print
Plot/APL Forms Movement Exerciser Program of the
IBM 5110 Print Plot/APL User's Manual, SA21-9305.
The file name is PLOTDIAG.
Watch the results on the 5103 Printer. If the dots
are not within the tolerance lines or the vertical lines
are not the correct length or density, use the Print
Plot Error Chart in this section.
