Epson FX Emulation
Form Feed | FF |
Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper to the top of the next form. If a top margin is set, printing will continue at the top margin. Setting “Host FF at TOF” to “No” in the interface setup menu allows a form feed to be ignored if the paper is already at top of form. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface menu, a carriage return will also be performed.

Hexadecimal: | 0C |
Horizontal Tabs
Default horizontal tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. The default tab stops are associated with columns, not absolute physical positions. Changing character spacing will change the physical position of the default tab stops.
User defined horizontal tab stops are associated with absolute physical positions, not with columns. The tab stops are set relative to the current character spacing, but subsequent changes in character spacing will not affect the physical position of the tab stops (except that the position will be rounded up to the closest character boundary).
Horizontal Tab | HT |
Advances to the next horizontal tab stop. If no tab stop exists between the active column and the right margin, the HT will be ignored. Default tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. Different tab stops may be set with ESC D.
Control code: | HT |

Absolute Horizontal Tab | ESC $ n1 n2 |
Move to the specified carriage position. The position is specified in 60ths of an inch, and calculated as
n1+ (n2 ↔256) inches. The position is relative to the left margin and must not exceed the right 60
margin or it will be ignored.
Example: The following escape sequence will set the carriage position 5 inches (300/60 inches) from the left margin.
