IBM TI8 Printer User Manual


 
In the document landscape station: 1 in. = 127 steps (1 mm = 5
steps).
Note: Line spacing dimension is approximate. For the impact printer in
portrait mode, the actual line spacing must be calculated using 51
steps per inch.
Purpose:
Prints data in the print buffer and feeds the paper by the amount specified
in this command.
Print and feed paper in reverse using minimum units
EIA-232 syntax:
ESC K n X'1B;4B;n' where n specifies the number of line feed steps. One
inch = 51 steps (1 mm = 2 steps)
Purpose:
This command may be used to print on a particular line on a document.
The data in the print buffer is printed and the paper is fed by the amount
specified in this command. When the document is inserted until the line can
just be seen at the printer cover, and this command is sent with n=0x65, the
next line printed lines up with the line seen at the top cover. This replaces
the Open Throat command for full check scan (TI9/TG9) printers.
Limitations:
v This command is valid only for the document station.
v This command is valid only for Models Tx8 and Tx9.
