Set sheet eject length
EIA-232 Syntax:
ESC C n or X'1B43;n'
where:
n Specifies the number of line feed steps using minimum units moved
when a FF is sent in the receipt station.
In the document station, an eject will feed until the document has
exited the lower document sensors - this length is not used.
Default:
n = A0 (160 decimal)
Maximum:
255 steps (FF hex)
This value is stored in the EEPROM in the printer so that it is not lost when the
printer is reset.

where:
n1 The high-order-byte dot offset for the horizontal tab.

Default:

This command should be sent after “Set print station parameters” on page
136.

in one command. Values must be entered in hex.
