Set Margin, Right; Set Forms Length By Lines - Printronix SL5000 Series Programmer's Reference Manual

Set Margin, Right

ASCII Code ESC Q n
Hex Code 1B 51 n
27 81 n
Dec Code
where: n = number of columns from the left edge of the physical page to
the end of the print line;
n = 1 through 232 (hex 00 through hex E8)
Sets the right margin to n columns at the current character width.
Purpose
Comment The number of inches of margin does not vary if the font,
character width, or horizontal dot density changes. This
command automatically clears and resets horizontal tabs to
every eight characters. The smallest possible space between
the left and right margins is the width of one-double wide, 10 cpi
character. If a margin control code violates this minimum
distance, it is ignored. Settings in proportional mode are treated
as 10 cpi.

Set Forms Length by Lines

ASCII Code ESC C n
1B 43 n
Hex Code
Dec Code 27 67 n
Purpose Sets the form length by lines.
n = 1 through 192 (hex 01 through hex C0) to specify the number
where:
of lines per form at the current line spacing.
Comment The forms length is set to the number of lines defined by the
quotient of n divided by the current lines per inch so that the
units are in inches.
The current line becomes the first line of the form. The forms
length is always defined in inches; therefore, changing the lpi
after this control code has been issued does not change the
forms length.
If the calculated forms length in lines is not an exact multiple of
the target machine dot size, the forms length value is adjusted
down to the next possible multiple.
When forms length is set by an ESC C sequence, the skip-over
perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.
