COMMAND 25: IBM MOTION
COMMANDS
Enables a Form Feed from the host
system to be converted to the
required number of line feeds
(beneficial when forms length is
controlled by the interface).
VALUE DESCRIPTION
*0 Pass FF from host
to the printer
1 Count the lines in
Command 5 and
send multiple line
feeds to the printer
in place of the host
FF
2 Ignore all IBM
Motion Commands
Example: &%Z25,1 sets the printer
to count the lines specified in
Command 5.
COMMAND 26: SUPPRESS
EMPTY FORMS
Suppresses blank printout pages
caused by form feed commands that
occur at the top of a form.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
*0 No, do not
suppress empty
forms
1 Yes, suppress
empty forms
NOTES
If 1 is selected, the interface
ignores form feed
commands located at the top
of form position.
This command affects
printing in both DSC and
SCS modes. This differs
from the IBM 3287, which
suppresses form feed only in
DSC mode.
Example: &%Z26,1 sets the
interface to suppress empty forms.
COMMAND 27: FF AFTER TIME
ELAPSE
Sends a Form Feed if unprinted data
remains in the print buffer for the
coax-port timeout interval specified
in Command 51.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
*0 No extra FF is sent
1 Send FF after
timeout value
NOTE
In most cases, the host
application generates a
termination FF and there is
no need to change this
command from the default.
Example: &%Z27,1 sends a FF after
time delay selected by command 51
(default = 5 sec.) when unprinted
data remains in the print buffer.
*Factory-default setting.
