"Form Feed"
Version 1.0
Wednesday October 16, 1991
Programmed by: Manabu Asano
Address: 7 Aperture park,
Lethbridge, AB
T1K6T4
Canada
What is "Form Feed"?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- FF is a Windows utility that sends printer control commands to EPSON
compatible printer on LPT1.
- FF sends the following printer control commands:
1. Form feed (FF) to eject a page
2. Line feed (LF) to skip one line
3. Reverse line feed (RF) to back up one line
4. Micro line feed (MLF) to perform a 10/180 inch line feed
5. Micro reverse line feed (MRF) to perform a 10/180 in LF in reverse
6. Reset printer (RP).
- Reset printer is useful when you want to set the top of the page.
Especially useful after a printing is cancelled from Print Manager.
It just resets the printer at wherever the printing was stopped
(thus setting the top of the page there).
Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~
1. This program does not send to LPT2 or any other printer port.
2. In case that the attached printer is off-lined, this program cannot
detect it and, thus, system error message will come out and
terminate this program.
In future release (if there is any?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Limitation 1 can be solved quickly. It will be probably easy to solve
but the problem is who uses a dot matrix printer on LPT2? Well,
I don't... If you do, please send me a letter saying you do.
- Limitation 2 will be a matter of how this poor programmer can afford
another 10 to 20 hours for reading (very friendly!) manuals and debugging.
If someone knows what is the easiest way to solve this, please send me
a comment. I can send the source codes if necessary.
- And possible new features will be ... I don't know! If you have any,
send me please.
Question from me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- I set the MLF(Micro Line Feed)/MRF(Micro Reverse line Feed) to be
10/180 inch. If you feel it is not appropriate, give me a right one.
If there is any bug or problem encountered with this program, please report
to the address above. Also if you like this program and want to make it
better, please send me your comments to the same address.
Thank you.
