Chapter 10: IBM - Standard Functions
Setting Top of Form
When printing cut sheets
with cut sheet feeder (CSF)
this command has no effect.
Skip over
Perforation
10-14
Normally a standard length can be set in the Page Length menu
item, though the page length can also be defined by one of the
above commands in inches or in the number of lines. If Page Length
Control is set to by MENU Setting, the start position for the sheet is
not reset.
Defining the page length in lines is done as a function of the current
line spacing. However, any subsequent change of line spacing does
not change the page length. When using these two commands to
change the page length the form start position is reset, a Skip over
Perforation defined by command is deactivated and the value for the
skip over perforation selected in the menu item is used. Set vertical
tabs are deleted.
Function
Set current print head
position as Top of Form
When entering this command the new TOF (Top of Form) is set at
the respective position of the print head. However, the Top of Form
can also be defined via the control panel. This is described in Chap-
ter 2. If Page Length Control is set to by MENU Setting this com-
mand is ignored for cut sheets.
Function
Activate Skip over
Perforation
Deactivate Skip over
Perforation
With this function the lower area of a page can be skipped automat-
ically. There is a Form Feed to the start of the next page (Top of
Form).
The parameter »n« designates the number of lines to be skipped to
the start of the next page. The lower margin actually to be skipped
depends on the current line spacing. Subsequent changes of line
spacing have no effect on the margin to be skipped. All line feed
commands which place the print position in the area to be skipped
cause a jump to the start of the next page.
