Integral
Printer
Control
The
number
preceding
the
ttp",
in
the
escape sequence, specifies how
many
line
feeds you
want.
For
example, to
generate
four successive line feeds, preceed
the
ttp"
with
the
number
tt4".
To
produce a form feed from a program, send
the
terminal
the
following escape sequence:
Ec&pOc6U
(The values 2
through
10, preceding
the
tt
c"
in
the
escape sequence, will also produce a form
feed.)

or

Continuous Forms Mode
Continuous forms mode is a mode
in
which
the
printer
prints
continuously,
without
regard
for ttstart page"
and
ttend page" boundaries. Continuous
Forms
mode is
the
standard,
or
default, mode.
At
power-on
time
or
after
a
hard
reset,
the
integral
printer
is
automatically
reset
to
print
in
Continuous
Forms
mode
using
normal-size
characters
(80
characters
per
line, 10
characters
to
the
inch).
Report Format Mode
The
integral
printer
normally
operates
in
Continuous Forms mode.
You
can, however,
enable
Report
Format
in
which
printed
output
is
treated
as
a series of 66-line pages (a 3-line top
margin,
60
lines
of
text,
and
a 3-line bottom margin). The
margins
and
text
area
together
form
an
8 1/2 inch by 11
inch
page.
The
printer
uses a small tic
mark
to
mark
the
end
ofone
page
and
the
beginning
of
the
next. Report
Format
mode
output
is shown
in
figure C-1.
From
the
keyboard, you
enable
and
disable Report
Format
using
the
REPORT
PR
I
NT
key.
This
key
alternately
enables
and
disables Report
Format.
When enabled,
an
asterisk
appears
in
the
key label (indicating
the
mode is active); Metric
Format
mode,
if
on,
is
turned
off;
and
the
printer
skips 3 lines,
prints
a page
break,
and
skips 3 lines.
From
a
program
executing
in
a
host
computer, you enable
and
disable Report
Format
using
the
following escape sequences:
ENABLE:
Ec&p17C
DISABLE:
Ec&p19C
Once enabled,
Report
Format
remains
enabled
until
disabled,
until
Metric
Format
mode
is
enabled,
until
a
hard
reset
is performed, or
until
the
power is
turned
off.
