ESC B Set Dot Tab
Description
Provided for LabelWriter printer raster compatibility. ESC B defines the left-hand
starting position for the placement of raster mode bitmap data. ESC B is used in
conjunction with the SYN (Raster Mode Graphics) and ETB (Raster Mode Compressed
Graphics) commands.
The LabelWriter SE450 printer prints up to 56 bytes (448 dots) of bitmap data. ESC B
allows the starting point (the left margin) to be relocated from the default position (byte
0), which is the extreme left side of the label, to any point, up to the right-hand margin
(byte 56). The increments for relocating the starting point are in millimeters. Use of this
command, along with the ESC D command, can drastically reduce the number of data
bytes required to skip blank areas.
