[ESC] X Set left/right print margins

ASCII	[ESC] X <n1> <n2>
Hexadecimal		1BH 58H <n1> <n2>
Decimal	<27> <88> <n1> <n2>
IPCL	none
EPOS	[ESC] Q

Description The [ESC] X <n1> <n2> command sets left and right print margins in characters from the home position. Where n1 = left margin and n2 = right margin, the absolute position depends on the current print pitch. If the left and right margins are set to the right of the current horizontal position, the new margins become valid in the same line. If the left margin is set to the left of the current horizontal position and the right margin set to the right of the current horizontal position, the right margin setting becomes valid in the same line, but the left margin setting becomes valid in the next line. When the left and right margins are set to the left of the current horizontal position, both left and right margin settings appear to become valid in the next line because an auto-CR is performed by the subsequent data.

[CAN] Clear print buffer

EPOS [CAN]

Description The [CAN] command clears the print buffer and any unprinted information in the printer received before it. If the input buffer is not being processed because the printer is out of paper or a form is not inserted, the [CAN] command will not be processed until after the error is cleared. The [CAN] command does not restore default conditions; it only clears the print buffer.
