Form feed

In computing, form feed is one of control characters in ASCII.  It forces the printer to eject the current page and to continue printing at the top of another. 

On CRT terminalss this character is not used (usually it is made equivalent to line feed).  Theoretically it could be used to clear screen, but this is not implemented anywhere.

In ASCII, form feed is defined as 12 in decimal and 0C in hexadecimal.
