Device Control Command Set
XOH Set Media Size (SMS)
The Set Media Size subcommand specifies the size of the physical medium.
Note: For Model CTA printers, this order is honored unconditionally only when
the printer page parameters (maximum print position, maximum page length,
CPI, and LPI) are equal to the factory-set parameter values or if the Media Size
Input Priority is set to alternate.
Refer to IBM 6412-CTA Line Matrix Printer Maintenance Information Manual for
information on setting operator media size input.
