1. NOTE The ESC code cannot be used simultaneously as the EVFU VT code and the Special Function Control Character SFCC If ESC is used as the SFCC the EVFU must be used with the PI line enabled and set high Refer to the Configuration chapter for more informa tion on the SFCC Clearing the EVFU Memory Following one of these actions resets clears the EVFU memory Sending only the start load code Sending a start load code followed immediately by an end load code Sending a second start load code which reinitializes the EVFU This restarts the host data When the EVFU memory is cleared the forms length returns to the previously set value and the current print position becomes the top of form Vertical Format Units 5 6 Relative Line Slewing Another method of moving paper using the PI line results in vertical slews of a specified number of lines within the form relative to the current print line rather than slewing to a specific line For this to occur three criteria must be met PI line must be enabled and set high Data bit 5 must be 1 set and e TheEVFU must be the selected Vertical Format Unit The Slew Relative configuration and the status of data bits 1 4 determine the number of lines slewed as described in Table 5 3 Note that the state of data bit 5 is the difference between line slewing and us ing the interface lines
