TOPIC

    How can I skip the page perforation automatically while using an ImageWriter II?


DISCUSSION

    There are two ways to automatically skip the page perforation on the ImageWriter II. The first way turns auto perforation skip off and on for a standard size page:

    --To turn auto perforation skip on, type:

    PRINT CHR$(27);"Z";CHR$(0);CHR$(4)

    --To turn it off, type:

    PRINT CHR$(27);"D";CHR$(0);CHR$(4)

    The second way affords you the benefit of being able to place the auto perforation skip anywhere you wish, allowing you to use shorter paper. For instance, if you have a nine-line page and wish the ImageWriter to print seven lines and then skip two, you would type:

    PRINT CHR$(29);"A@@@@@@@@@@@C@@@@@A@";CHR(30)

    This second, more powerful way is described in seven pages of the ImageWriter II technical reference manual.

    NOTE: The second method also works for the regular ImageWriter.
