Operating Characteristics
Single Vertical Tab or Form Feed - Precede the VT or FF with ESC ivand follow the VT or FF with one ESC iv for
every 12 lines or less of form movement.
Example: Vertical Tab, 5 lines - XX X LF CR ESC iv VT ESC iv X XX
Example: Form Feed, 28 lines - XX X LF CR ESC iv FF ESC iv ESC iv ESC iv XX X
Consecutive Vertical Tabs or Form Feeds - Precede the first VT or FF with ESC iv and follow the first VT or FF
with one ESC rv for every 12 lines or less of form movement; then follow with "blocks of codes" for the consecutive
VT or FF movements. Each of these consecutive "blocks of codes" should consist of a VT or FF followed by one
ESC iv for every 12 lines or less of form movement.
Example:
Vertical Tab, 10 lines, Vertical Tab, 8 lines, Vertical Tab 25 lines.

VVhen transmitting to a TermiNet 300 Printer, the TCA provides the necessary delays for all Printer operations at
300 baud or lower except Vertical Tab and Form Feed (delays for VT and FF are provided for local printing). To
determine the number of fill characters needed for VT and FF, use the following formulas:
NOTE
When using a formula, round out answer to next highest whole number.

If you are sending information to a Terminal with a mechanical Carriage Return or some other carriage return
method that takes an appreciable amount of time, you may need fill characters to supply a delay as specified by the
manufacturer of the Terminal to which you are transmitting.
NOTE
In most cases, a 300 millisecond delay should be sufficient for Carriage Return.
For an approximate 300 millisecond delay, use nine

WRITING AT 120 CPS
When writing at 120 cps (recording on tape from keyboard cannot be done at 120 cps, only at 10 or 30 cps), there
must be a
