Question:

When creating or modifying a PRD, what should be put at byte:8 (set form length) if the printer documentation does not give any control sequence for setting form length?

Response:

There are two options:


 * 1) If the printer has a switch on it that controls page length, set mod:1. Word then issues a form feed at the end of each page, and the printer upon receiving the form feed controls how much paper is fed through according to the switch setting.
 * 2) If the mod is set to 0, Word will control how much paper is fed through by issuing enough line feeds to add up to the page length specified in “Format Division Margins page length:” rather than by issuing a single form feed.
