The left margin is inclusive, but the right margin is exclusive. For example, a left margin at column 11 still allows a character to be printed in column 11. A right margin at column 76 allows a character to be printed in column 75, but not in column 76.

The leftmost column is column one. If n1 or n2 is zero, the corresponding margin is not changed. The left margin must be left of the right margin and ³13.4 inches. The right margin must be right of the left margin and ³13.6 inches. Invalid margins will be ignored. Overrides the “Left Margin” and “Right Margin” values in the forms menu.

Example: The following escape sequence will set a one inch left margin, and will set a right margin 7.5 inches from the left edge of the form, if character spacing is currently 10 cpi. For a standard 8.5 inch wide form, this would result in a one inch right margin.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	X	11	76
Hexadecimal:	1B	58	0B	4C

Vertical Margins

Printing is allowed only within the top and bottom margins. Exceeding the bottom margin will set the current line to the top margin of the next form.

Set Perforation Skip

ESC N n

Sets the perforation skip distance to n lines at the current line spacing. 1³n³255. If line spacing is changed after setting the skip distance, the skip distance will not be changed.

The skip distance is split between the top and bottom margins, so the perforation will be centered in the resulting white space. The specified skip distance must be less than the form length, or the command will be ignored. Perforation skip is canceled by ESC O, ESC C n or ESC C NUL n. Overrides the “Top Margin” and “Bottom Margin” values in the forms menu.

Example: The following escape sequence will set a two inch perforation skip distance, if the current line spacing is 6 lpi. This will result in a one inch top and bottom margin.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	N	12
Hexadecimal:	1B	4E	0C
Cancel Perforation Skip			ESC O
Cancels perforation skip.	This is equivalent to having no top and bottom margin. Overrides the “Top
Margin” and “Bottom Margin” values in the forms menu.
Escape Sequence:	ESC	O
Hexadecimal:	1B	4F

A form feed will advance the paper to the top of the next form. Some programs do not send form feeds. Instead, they count line feeds, and send the appropriate number of line feeds to fill out the page. The usual rational is that the program is then in complete control of form length, and will work on any printer without requiring the correct form length to be set. However, the correct form length should always be set with the control panel setup. Even if the program does not use form feeds, the printer will automatically scroll a completed form up to the tear bar to be torn off. This automatic scroll is based upon form length. The easiest way to set form length is via the “Form Length” value in the forms menu so it will be correctly set for everyone using the formVertical Position Form Length and Form FeedHorizontal Tab Horizontal TabsVertical Tabs Printer ControlsEmulations Select Software Interface nESC ESC n Simple TTY Emulation Control Codes and Escape Sequences Sorted AlphabeticallyIntroduction PRINTEK EMULATIONPrintek Emulation Deselect Printer Control Codes and Escape Sequences Grouped by FunctionCommunications End of TextESC W n Double-Wide ModeCharacter Size Set Character SpacingCharacter Attributes Emphasized ModeDouble-Strike Mode Underline ModeESC \ n Character SetsSelect Font Print Single CharacterSet Line Spacing to n/288” Line PitchHorizontal Position Vertical PositionForm Feed Form Length and Form FeedReverse Line Feed Set Form Length in LinesESC HT n1 n2 ... nx NUL Horizontal TabsHorizontal Tab Set Horizontal Tab StopsVertical Tab Reset Horizontal and Vertical Tab StopsVertical Tabs Horizontal and Vertical TabsHorizontal Margins Set Left and Right MarginESC H n1 n2 ESC V n1 n2 Vertical MarginsGraphics Set Top and Bottom Marginsm DPI Graphics Printek EmulationBell Unidirectional ModePrinter Controls m DPI GraphicsCut Form ResetAutomatic Modes Auto CutForms and Tractors Load FormESC L n Emulations Select Software Interface nESC ESC n ESC HT n1 n2 ... nx NUL Control Codes and Escape Sequences Sorted AlphabeticallyESC # m n1 n2 data ESC * m n1 n2 datano numeric parameters GENICOM 3840 AND 3410 ANSI EMULATIONIntroduction ESC fGenicom 3840 and 3410 ANSI Emulation End of Text Control Codes and Escape Sequences Grouped by FunctionCommunications Character SizePartial Line Down Subscript Character SetFont And Print Modes Selects print modes and fontsCarriage Return Horizintal PositionSuperscript Printing Superscript PrintingESC pj Reset Auto CR ON LFESC pl Horizontal Position BackwardsIndex Vertical PositionLine Feed ESC DHoriztonal Tab Horiztonal TabVertical And Horiztonal Position Absolute Vertical Position BackwardsESC Psg Vertical TabSet Horiztonal Tab Stop Clear TabsMargin Setup Default ValuesForms Setup Forms SetupForm Feed Graphics ModeGraphics HexidemicalGraphics Density Printer ControlOversized Font/Bar Code Mode ResetANSI Bar Codes Paper ShearANSI Bar Codes Paper ShearBarcode Options Software Options That Affect BarcodesIgnore Character Barcode OptionsPaper Path Paper Pathp1 selects ESC ESC n EmulationsSelect Software Interface n n Software InterfaceControl Codes and Escape Sequences Sorted Alphabetically Oversize Font / Graphic Size ModificationVertical and Horizontal Position Absolute Genicom 3840 and 3410 ANSI Emulation CONFIGURATION DOWNLOAD Configuration Download Remote Setup Line DefinitionsParallelInterface Remote Setup Example File HEX DUMP MODE Page Introduction PRINTING BASIC BAR CODESPrinting Basic Bar Codes BAR CODE SEQUENCE Measurements in Bar Code ModeEntering/Exiting Bar Code Mode Bar Code SequencesThe Bar Code Control Character Other Control CharactersPrinting Basic Bar Codes Example Bar Code DefinitionBNxccc...cG ExampleBNf12345G Printing Basic Bar CodesVariable Width Bar Code Definition ExampleBN9xddddccc...cG BNa12345G Printing Basic Bar CodesRange is 01 to 99 0.1 to 9.9 inches Bar Code HeightExample Two Character Sequence Identifier forExample ExampleTo print a bar code that is only 0.1 inch high H01BNe12345G ExampleExample Relative Vertical TabAbsolute Horizontal Tab JttdH02BNd01GT0200BNd02GT0400BNd03G Printing Basic Bar CodesBar Code Pass Terminator ExampleExample Mixing Bar Codes and Text ExampleExample Description of Supported Bar Code Types Page ASCII Control Code Definitions ASCII CHARACTER TABLESEpson FX Fast Draft Epson FX Draft Epson FX Letter Quality ASCII Character TablesPC Fast Draft PC Draft PC Letter Quality ASCII Character TablesEBCDIC Fast Draft EBCDIC Draft EBCDIC Letter Quality ASCII Character TablesASCII Character Tables Latin 2 Slavic Fast Draft Latin 2 Slavic DraftLatin 2 Slavic Letter Quality OCR A OCR B ML Euro ASCII Character TablesASCII Character Tables ML EuroHexASCII Decimal to Octal to Hexadecimal Conversion TableASCII Character Tables HexASCIItext in an incomplete line PRINTER RESET CONDITIONScleared unless reset from host control character symbolsPage GLOSSARY Glossary
