You'd often see that sort of thing when someone thought they could do a
better job of working out where the top of the form was, and they'd
count lines in their program, doing all form placement using line feeds.
Instead of not trying to print on all available lines, telling the
printer the real form height, and using a form-feed command to let the
printer find the top.
