Partial Line Down PLD
(or) ESC K
Performs a half line feed. Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper one half line at
the current line spacing. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface setup menu, a carriage return will also be
performed.
Control code: PLD
Hexadecimal: 8B
Escape Sequence: ESC K
Hexadecimal: 1B 4B
Partial Line Up PLU
(or) ESC L
Performs a reverse half line feed. Causes the current line to be printed, and then retracts the paper one half
line at the current line spacing. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface setup menu, a carriage return will
also be performed.
Control code: PLU
Hexadecimal: 8C
Escape Sequence: ESC L
Hexadecimal: 1B 4C
Absolute Vertical Tab ESC [ n d
Sets the current line to line n of the current form. The actual position will depend on the current line spacing.
Example: The following escape sequence will set the active line to line 12.
Escape Sequence: ESC [ 1 2 d
Hexadecimal: 1B 5B 31 32 64
Relative Vertical Tab ESC [ n e
Advances the active line by n lines. The actual distance moved will depend on the current line spacing.
Equivalent to sending n line feeds (LF).
Example: The following escape sequence will advance the active line by 12 lines. If current line spacing is 6
lpi, this will cause the paper to advance one inch.
Escape Sequence: ESC [ 1 2 e
