HP 250 - Setting a Printer to Top of Form

System Commands
If you no longer wish to record all of your interactions with the
system, enter the following command:
PRJNT AL.L IS n
If your workstation has an optional thermal printer, you can
record all of your interactions with the system by entering:
PRINT ALL :r8 10
Setting a Printer to Top of Form
The PRINTER IS command assigns the output device for all PRINT
and PRINT USING operations, which are normally issued within a
program. Each successive PRJNTER IS statement cancels the
previous one. Therefore, if you specify a device with this
statement, it is overridden if a program you run sets the
printer to another device. For most intents and purposes you
will not issue this command.
There is one place where this command might prove to be useful.
If you wish to set a printer to the top of the form, you use the
PRINTER IS statement followed by a PRINT PAGE statement.
For example, if you wanted to set a printer at address 0 to the
top of form without walking to the printer, you would enter the
following sequence:
PRINTER IS 0
Pf~ INT PAGE
If you wanted to send the thermal printer to the top of form,
enter the following command:
PRINTER IS 10
followed by:
PR INT P/~GE
If you look carefully at the thermal printer paper, you will
notice a small tick mark. This tick mark is the bottom of form.
It is printed so that you can distinguish between pages easily.
