Set Sheet Eject Length

RS-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 = X'A0' (160 decimal)

Maximum:

255 steps (X'FF')

This value is stored in the EEPROM in the printer so that it is not lost when the
printer is reset.

Set Horizontal Tab Positions

RS-232 Syntax:

ESC D [n1 n2] NUL NUL or X'1B44[n1n2]0000'

where:

n1

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

n2

The low-order-byte dot offset for the horizontal tab.

Default:

There is a tab every 100 dots.

Remarks:

This command should be sent after “Set Print Station Parameters” on
page 130.

Up to 5 tab positions can be stored. All 5 n1 n2 value pairs can be included
in one command. Values must be entered in hex.

A tab is calculated from the left margin position.

Tab values must be in ascending order.

Example: To set 3 tab positions - at the 100, 150 and 300 dot positions:
v X'1B4400640096012C0000'

See “Tab to Next Tab Stop” on page 152.

Set Left Margin Position

RS-232 Syntax:

ESC $ n1 n2 or X'1B24;n1;n2'

where:

n1

The high-order byte of the dot offset from the beginning of the print
line.

n2

The low-order byte of the dot offset from the beginning of the print
line.
