Metric Format Mode
You can enable Metric Format mode in which printed output is treated as a series of 70-line
pages (a 3-line top margin, 64 lines of text, and a 3-line bottom margin). The printer uses a
small tic mark to mark the end of one page and the beginning of the next. A soft reset, while
in Metric Format or Report mode, causes the printer to skip three lines, print a tic mark, and
then skip three more lines. Metric format is illustrated in figure C-l.
From the keyboard, you enable and disable Metric Format using the
METR I C PR I NT
key. This
key alternately enables and disables Metric Format. When enabled, an asterisk appears in
the key label; Report Format mode, if on, is turned off; and the printer skips 3 lines, prints a
page break, and skips 3 lines.
