Auto carriage return ......... ESC ESC CR n 1B 1B 0D n 27 27 13 n This sequence starts/ends the automatic carriage return
Start ................................ ESC ESC CR 1 1B 1B 0D 31 27 27 13 49 mode, wherein the printer performs a carriage return and
End ................................. ESC ESC CR 0 1B 1B 0D 30 27 27 13 48 line feed for every line feed code it receives.
Auto line feed ..................... ESC ESC LF n 1B 1B 0A n 27 27 10 n These sequences start and end the automatic line feed
Start (all emulations) ...... ESC ESC LF 1 1B 1B 0A 31 27 27 10 49 mode, wherein the printer performs a carriage return and
Start (IBM emulation) .... ESC 5 1 1B 35 31 27 53 49 line feed for every carriage return code it receives.
End (all emulations) ....... ESC ESC LF 0 1B 1B 0A 30 27 27 10 48
End (IBM emulation) ..... ESC 5 0 1B 35 30 27 53 48
Auto perforation ................ ESC ESC FF n 1B 1B 0C n 27 27 12 n This sequence starts and ends the automatic perforation
skip mode 1 skip mode, wherein the printer does a form feed when-
Start ................................ ESC ESC FF 1 1B 1B 0C 31 27 27 12 49 ever printing reaches one-half inch from the bottom of
End ................................. ESC ESC FF 0 1B 1B 0C 30 27 27 12 48 the page. The form feed advances the paper one-half inch
beyond the next top-of-form or top margin (if one is set).
Note: Start the automatic perforation skip mode before
loading pin-feed paper in the printer. If you start the
mode with paper loaded, the printer performs a form feed
when printing reaches one inch from the bottom of the
page. The form feed advances the paper to the next top-
of-form or top margin (if one is set).
Start auto perforation ....... ESC N n 1B 4E n 27 78 n This sequence starts and ends the automatic perforation
skip mode 2 skip mode, wherein the printer performs a form feed
when-ever printing approaches the bottom of the page.
The form feed advances the paper to the next top-of-form
or top margin (if one is set). The value of variable n
defines how many blank lines are left at the bottom of
each page. Varia-ble n can range from one line up to the
current page length. For example, to leave six blank lines
at the bottom of a page, the correct sequence is ESC N
ACK. The End Auto Perforation Skip Mode 2, Set Page
Length in Lines or Set Page Length in Inches sequence
ends this mode.
End auto perforation ......... ESC O 1B 4F 27 79 These sequence ends automatic perforation skip mode 2.
skip mode 2
Unidirectional printing These sequences control unidirectional printing, wherein
One line only .................. ESC < 1B 3C 27 60 printing occurs only while the carriage moves from left to
Start ................................ ESC U 1 1B 55 31 27 85 49 right. Unidirectional printing enables the exact alignment
Start (alternate) ............... ESC ESC U 1 1B 1B 55 31 27 27 85 49 of multi-line graphics, component characters and other
End ................................. ESC U 0 1B 55 30 27 85 48 applications where vertical alignment is important.
End (alternate) ................ ESC ESC U 0 1B 1B 55 30 27 27 85 48
Ignore codes ....................... ESC ESC I n 1B 1B 49 n 27 27 73 n This sequence causes the printer to ignore from 1 to 95
subsequent codes that it receives. The value of variable n
minus 32 defines the number of subsequent codes to
ignore. For example, to ignore the next 20 codes, the
correct escape sequence is ESC ESC I 4.
