Parameter n41 and n42 –Black Mark Cut Offset
After the black mark is detected (black to white change) the printer feeds another distance to
place the paper in cut position. This distance cannot be negative so placing the black mark too
close to the paper edge is better than too far away.
(ESC x n1 n2 is an obsolete command that sets n41 and n42. It is implemented for backward
compatibility with old drivers. Set parameters n41 and n42 with the
ESC & P n1 n2 command instead.)
FF (Form Feed)
Use <FF> to print the buffer content, go to the next top of form (black mark), and cut the
paper.
ESC Z (Go To Next Top of Form)
Use <ESC>Z to move the paper to the next top of form. This is practically a Form-Feed
without printing and cut. It searches for the next black mark for maximum one page length +
black mark length (256 x n37+n38 + n39)/8. An additional length of 20 mm is added to be sure
to pass the edge of the next black mark. If there is no black mark within the set distance plus
20 mm, an error is raised.
