The page mode deploys the received data over the specified print area and prints it in batch with the FF command. Consequently, normal print commands such as LF only deploy the data in the printer’s memory, but not actually print it.

The printer returns to the standard mode after printing the data in the specified print area with FF.

[Caution]

The command is valid only when it is input at the head of the line.
