Print and form feed and cut the paper
EIA-232 Syntax:
FF or X'0C'
Epson compatibility syntax:
FF or X'0C'
Remarks:
v In standard mode, the data in the print buffer feeds the paper in the CR
station or DI station by a preset amount, until the document exits the
feed rollers. If a cutter is available (CR station only), it cuts the paper.
v In page mode, the printer prints the page, then returns to standard mode.
The page loaded in the printer’s buffer is cleared. The paper is not cut.
Print page in page mode
EIA-232 Syntax:
ESC FF or X'1B 0C'
Epson compatibility mode:
ESC FF or X'1B 0C'
Remarks:
v In standard mode, this command is ignored.
v In page mode, this command prints the page that is loaded in the printer.
The page remains loaded in the printer’s buffer and the printer remains in
page mode. This should be used for repeatedly printing the same page,
or if there is a template that is filled in with each printout.
Clear print data in page mode
EIA-232 Syntax:
CAN or X'18'
Remarks:
This command deletes all print data in the current printable area of the
page stored in the printer’s buffer.
Document handling
To read checks, insert them from the front of the printer. Use the side load
capability only for documents that must be positioned to begin printing at a
particular location on the document. (There is an arrow on the side of the cover to
indicate where printing begins.) Use front load for all other cases.
Portrait mode
This is a suggested method of document handling:
1. ESC f (x) (y): Set up document wait time
x Time the printer should wait from receiving a print line for the
document station until the document is inserted.
If the document has not been detected by the time the wait time
ends, a document error is sent to the system but the system
continues to wait for a document to be inserted.
