Set right print boundary .......... ESC Q n 1B 51 n 27 81 n This sequence cancels printing of the current line, resets the
default tabs, and sets the right print boundary anywhere on the
page. The value of variable n defines where to set the right print
boundary relative to the true leftmost print position and with
respect to the current character spacing. For example, to set the
right print boundary ten inches to the right of the true leftmost
print position with character spacing at 10 cpi, the correct
sequence is ESC Q d. If the sequence specifies a boundary that
is at or to the left of the left print boundary, the printer ignores
this sequence. If you set a right print boundary with
proportional-spacing selected, the printer uses 12 cpi to interpret
the n variable.
Set left and right ....................... ESC X n1 n2 1B 58 n1 n2 27 88 n1 n2 This sequence cancels printing of the current line, resets the
print boundaries default tabs, and sets the left and right print boundaries on the
page. All subsequent horizontal move commands, such as
carriage returns and tabs, are relative to the new left print
boundary. The values of variables n1 and n2 define where to set
the left and right print boundaries relative to the true leftmost
print position and with respect to the current char-acter spacing.
Variable n1 defines the left print boundary; variable n2 defines
the right print boundary. For example, to set the left print
boundary one inch from the leftmost print position and the right
print boundary ten inches from the leftmost print position at 10
cpi, the correct sequence is ESC X LF d.
If the sequence specifies a left print boundary that is at or to the
right of the right print boundary, the printer ignores the sequence.
If the sequence specifies a right print boundary that is to the right
of the righmost print position, the printer sets the right print
boundary at the rightmost print position. If n1 is NUL, the printer
does not change the left print boundary; or, if n2 is NUL, the
printer does not change the right print boundary. If you set print
boundaries with proportional-spacing selected, the printer uses 12
cpi to interpret the n1 and n2 variables.
