Form Length; Skip Over Perforation - OKIDATA 120 Handbook

For special applications, like graphics, you can adjust the
line feeds by multiples of 11144 inch with the
CHR$(27);CHR$(1 O);CHR$(n) command. The letter n
equals
n/144
inch line feed. You can choose any number
between 0 and 255.
For example, if you wanted to add 72/144 inch line feed,
you would use the code CHR$(27);CHR$(1 O);CHR$(72).
NOTE: If n
=
0 then you wi ll add a 2561144 inch li ne feed.

NOTE: nn
=
A two-digit number between 01 and 99 that indicates the
number of lines per page.
When you send a "Form Feed" command-CHR$(12)- the
paper automatically advances to the top of the next page.
The length of each page is determined by an Internal
Switch setting (see page A-1). The factory setting is 11
inches, the size of a standard typewriter sheet.
You can program your printer's page length with the
CHR$(27);"F" ;"nn" command. Here, nn equals the number
of lines per page. It can be any two-digit number from 01
to 99. For example, if you wanted a page that was 50 lines
long, use a CHR$(27);"F";"50" command.
