VERTICAL MOTION INDEX ( VMI )

VERTICAL MOTION INDEX
The Vertical Motion Index ( VMI ) command designates
the distance between rows in 1/48 inch increments (The
vertical distance the cursor will move for a line feed
operation).
This command affects the line feed and half line feed
spacing.
The factory default VMI is 8 which corresponds to 6
lines per inch. The VMI command should always be sent
after any page orientation command. Changes made in
the default top margin or disabling perforation skip
region at the bottom of the page will result in a
change to the default vertical printable area.
To invoke the VMI command, type Ec&l#C. The l is
equivalent to a lower case L.
The # designates a variable that is derived from the
following formula:
(Vertical Printable Area / Desired Lines Per Page) x 48
= #
VERTICAL PRINTER AREA DEFAULTS
1.)Portrait Letter (8 1/2 x 11) = 10 inches
2.)Portrait Legal (8 1/2 x 14) = 13 inches
3.)Landscape letter (11 x 8 1/2) = 7.5 inches
4.)Landscape letter (14 x 8 1/2) = 7.5 inches
Example: To designate 66 lines per page on letter
size paper, portrait orientation.
10 inches / 66 lines per page x 48 = 7.27

Robotics nuts!Check out http://users.frii.com/dlc/robotics/projects/botproj.htm from Dennis Clark. This guy ROCKS! He has made (and sells but also releases code, docs, etc...) for a number of cool little robotic modules including whiskers, IR proximity detect and remote control, Sonar proximity detect, PWM, Servo, compass. Most of these use the little PIC 12C508 controller which costs basically nothing and is soooo tiny.The 4 servos, 2400 baud serial servo controller is a wonder of magic and he sells the programmed chip for $8. Wow! |
