(Page) Form Feeds .FF



Sets how PAGE will end each page. Normally, when PAGE reaches the end of a page, it sends a form feed character (which is a command to the printer to advance to the top of the next page. This saves time and/or space (if the output is sent to a file), and normally works fine since most printers automatically keep track of where the top of the page is and default to a 66 line page. By turning formfeeds off with .FF0, PAGE will not send formfeed characters, but send the correct number of line feed characters to the printer to advance to the next page. This is desirable when using an odd sized form which would not correspond to the printers calculation of the top of the form.
