SFCC LINES;n
ESC C n
Sets the length of a form (paper) in lines.
n = 1 to 192 (P–Series) or 1 to 127 (Serial) to specify the number of lines per page
at the current line spacing.
The forms length set becomes the current forms length. Forms length is defined in
inches; therefore, subsequent line spacing changes do not affect the result of this
command.
The forms length is set to the number of lines defined by the quotient of "n" and the
current line spacing so that the units are in inches. In LINES mode, values of n in
excess of 192 causes an error message (Command Line Error Messages are listed on
page 6–3).
If the calculated forms length in lines is not an exact multiple of the paper step dis-
tance, the forms length value adjusts down to the next possible multiple.
When forms length is set by the ESC C sequence, the skip–over perforation is set to
zero.
In P–Series protocol, if the VFU is enabled and loaded, this command is ignored.
