Print and feed paper
ASCII ESC J n
Hex 1B 4A n
Decimal 27 74 n
0 = n = 255
Prints the data in the print buffer and feed the paper [n x vertical or
horizontal motionunit].
After printing is completed, this command sets the print starting
position to the beginning of the line.
The paper feed amount set by this command does not affect the
values set by ESC 2 or ESC 3.
In standard mode, the printer uses the vertical motion unit (y).
The maximum line spacing is 1016mm {40"}. When the setting
value exceeds the maximum, it is converted to the maximum
automatically.

Switches from standard mode to page mode.
This command is enabled only when processed at the beginning of
a line in standard mode.
This command has no effect in page mode.
The following command is not available in page mode, Print raster
bit image: GS v 0
The printer returns to standard mode when power is turned on, the
printer is reset, or ESC @ is used.

except for dxL = dxH = 0 or dyL = dyH = 0
Defines the location and size of the print area.
Horizontal start point = [(xL + xH x 256) x basic calculation pitch]
inches
Vertical start point = [(yL + yH x 256) x basic calculation pitch]
inches
Horizontal length = [(dxL + dxH x 256) x basic calculation pitch]
inches
Vertical length = [(dyL + dyH x 56) x basic calculation pitch]
inches
When standard mode is selected, this command only executes the
internal flagging of the printer without affecting the printing in
standard mode.
If the horizontal start point or vertical start point is out of the
printable area, this command is canceled and the next data is
handled as normal data.

n1, n2: number of dot lines in the vertical direction.
n1 represents the least significant byte and n2 represents the most
significant byte.
Number of dot lines=n2 x 256+n1 Ignored when n1=n2=0.
Enter the image data following n1 and n2. The amount of image
data is as follows:Amount of image data=(n2 x 256+n1) x 72 bytes
The data following n1 and n2 is printed out entirely as image data.
Enter the data from the leftmost of the top dot line to the bottom
dot line.
If you specify bit image without entering CR or LF after inputting
characters for a rangenot exceeding one line, the characters of
that line and the bit image are overlapped when printed out. At this
time, all modifications to characters are valid. Note that the
characters are not normally printed out when overlapped unless a
value more than the character height is specified by n2 x n1. You
can not overlap bit images with stamps or ruler lines. If you specify
bit images, the stamp or the ruler line is suspended. After the bit
image is complete, the print-out of stamps or ruler line restarts.
