ImageWriter II: Auto-skipping the perforation

There are two ways to automatically skip the page perforation on the ImageWriter II. The first way turns auto perforation skip off and on for a standard size page:

--To turn auto perforation skip on, type:

PRINT CHR$(27);"Z";CHR$(0);CHR$(4)

--To turn it off, type:

PRINT CHR$(27);"D";CHR$(0);CHR$(4)

The second way affords you the benefit of being able to place the auto perforation skip anywhere you wish, allowing you to use shorter paper. For instance, if you have a nine-line page and wish the ImageWriter to print seven lines and then skip two, you would type:

PRINT CHR$(29);"A@@@@@@@@@@@C@@@@@A@";CHR(30)

This second, more powerful way is described in seven pages of the ImageWriter II technical reference manual.

NOTE: The second method also works for the regular ImageWriter.
