NOTES
“EX0” is effective until “AR” is sent to reset the printer to its standard print length, or
until the printer is re-powered.
When this command is used with the Store Form Overlay (<ESC>&) command the
form length cannot exceed the maximum specified.
If a job contains elements out of the memory range, it is ignored.
If the Forms Overlay (<ESC>&) command is used with Expanded Memory to expand
the print area, the Form Overlay length is still limited to the maximum.
