ESC J n[Function] Printing and feeding paper in minimum pitch
[Code] <1B>H<4A>H<n>
[Range] 0 n 255
[Outline] Prints the data held in the print buffer and feeds paper by [n ×
basic calculation pitch] inches. The beginning of the line is taken
as the next print start position.
[Caution] The line feed width can be set separately for the STANDARD
and PAGE MODES.
• This command does not affect the line feed width defined by
ESC 2 or ESC 3.
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the
minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder is
omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the vertical (Paper
feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).
• In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on
the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom
right, the command uses the vertical (Paper feed direction)
basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom
left, the command uses the horizontal (Perpendicular to the
paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x).
The maximum settable line feed width is 1016 mm (40 inches).
A setting greater than this maximum is trimmed to the
maximum. The beginning of the line is taken as the next print
start position.
[Default] The initial value is not defined.
