data

[27,75,n1,n2,data] D

 

The total number of dots in the data is set by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n1+n2 x 256.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[54]

ESC N n

[1B,4E,n] H [27,78,n] D

 

Sets skip over perforation (1n127).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n specifies the number of lines to be skipped at the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

end of a page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example: If the line spacing is 1/6 inch and the page length is 66 lines,

 

 

 

 

an ESC N 6 command causes the printer to print 60 lines, then skip 6 lines.

 

 

 

 

The space to be skipped is 1 inch (1/6 inch x 6).
