The Built-in Software
setting for PAPERSIZE. You do not need to include this instruction when you
use 11-inch long paper.
The PAPERSIZE is stated in lines, not in inches. Be sure to use the proper
PAPERSIZE; if you do not, page tops will be positioned incorrectly. When you
change the PAPERSIZE, you will most likely also change the PAGELEN. The
value of PAGELEN must be less than the value of PAPERSIZE.
Example: [ papersize84;:pagelen75;
Tells the printer you are printing on 14-inch
legal-sized paper, and you want each page
to contain no more than 75 lines.
PAUSE
Can appear anywhere in a word processor document and stops the printout
immediately. If you are printing linked files that are stored on different disks, use
PAUSE to give yourself time to insert the other disk. The printing does not
resume until you press the RETURN key.
You might also, for example, use PAUSE to make sure the paper is properly
aligned during the printout.
RC
Can be used to tell the computer to start at a specific record number when
accessing file manager data. Use RC (ReCord) when you are using file manager
data in multiple printed copies of a document and you want to start at a record
other than record 1. When the RC instruction is used, the first execution of the
EOF? instruction goes to the record after the one named in the RC instruction.
Type the RC instruction just before the tf;:rc; instruction. Include the number
of the record you want to be accessed first. If you omit the RC instruction when
you are printing multiple file manager records, the first record accessed will
automatically be record 1.
Example: rclO;
Starts accessing file manager data at record 10. Records 1
through 9 are skipped.
#RC
Can be used to print the record number of the current record when you are
printing file manager data. #RC (ReCord number) prints only the record number,
not any information about the record contents.
