This function allows the printer to ignore or use the
carriage return (hexadecimal 0D) command
depending on the application. Some applications
expect the command to be ignored while others use
the command as a print command.

Application Compatible Escape Commands

Allows user to set font size for the emulation being
used.
• Slip position (MICR printers)
