the current line.

This set of functions consists of control codes that change the formatting
for the page, such as page length, margins, line spacing, etc. The page
length (form length) and margin settings define the printable area on the
page. These settings need to conform to the actual size of the paper used in
the printer.

Page Length

Set Page Length (lines)
The length of the paper is set, in lines, where the range of n (number of
lines) is 1-127 (default = 66). Keep in mind the line spacing and actual
length of the paper when specifying this value, since this function is depen-
dent on those parameters. Top-of-Form is reset to the current line and the
Skip Over Perforation setting is canceled.
