The VFC and Initialization screen is shown in Figure 2-7 “VFC and Initialization Screen”. Steps for defining an
initialization string that will set the printer to a known and repeatable
state are given below.

To specify whether an initialization string will be sent to
a printer:
Verify that the cursor is in the Device to be initialized (Y,N)
field. Initializing the printer sets it to a known and repeatable
state. The settings that an initialization string might define include
the margins, the fonts, and the column width.
Type N if the printer
should not be initialized when files are sent to it.
Type Y if the printer
should be initialized when files are sent to it. Verify that the
cursor is in the Initialization String
field.
Enter the initialization string. A maximum of 120
characters can be entered. Remember to surround the initialization
string with quotes.
To configure VFC channels on the printer:
Press the [Tab] key
to move the cursor to the Is VFC defined for the device (Y,N)
field. Up to 16 VFC channels can be configured. Each channel performs
a standard function such as "skip to top of next page"
or "skip one line."
Type N if VFC channels
are not required for this printer.
Type Y if VFC channels
are required for this printer. Verify that the cursor is in the
String field.
Enter the VFC strings. A maximum of 16 characters
can be entered, per string. Remember to surround each string with
quotes.
After the data has been entered on this screen, press the
Save Data [F1]
function key and the Exit [F8]
function key to leave Workstation Configurator.
