A-32
Changing the vertical spacing does not affect the skipover distance. This can be
changed by a further ESC N command or can be reset by the ESC O command, which
resets the skipover value to 0. The skipover perforation will be executed when the end
of the page is reached with a LF, VT or FF code and not with the ESC J or ESC C
command, the skipover perforation is cancelled and must therefore be set again.
In IBM 4722 and 9068 emulations, this command is recognized and discarded.
ESC O
Disables the skipover perforation.
(IBM Proprinter XL24/XL24E, 2391+, EPSON ESC/P2)
ASCII Code ESC 0
Hexadecimal Value 1B 4F
Decimal Value 27 79
This sequence sets the number of lines of the skipover perforation to the value 0 and
so any skip perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.
In IBM 4722 and 9068 emulations, this command is recognized and discarded.
ESC Q
Sets the right margin (10 cpi). (EPSON ESC/P2)
ASCII Code ESC Q n
Hexadecimal Value 1B 51 n
Decimal Value 27 81 n
Range 1 < n < 255
This code sets the line length at the current horizontal spacing. It must be sent at the
beginning of the line. The n parameter specifies the number of columns and for each
type of horizontal spacing there is a range of values, as shown in the following table:
