EFP9800 ESC/POS Commands

Set Slip Eject Length

Sets the slip eject length to n lines. (When n = 0, no length is set.) Changes in line spacing do not affect the slip eject length. The length set by this command is used only when the Eject Slip command (0C) is performed. This command is only effective in the standard mode.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII	Value of n
1B 43 n	27 67 n	ESC C n	0 - 255

The maximum slip eject length is 40 inches. When the value of n x line spacing is greater than 40, the slip eject length is set to 40 inches.

Set Horizontal Tab Positions

Sets up to 32 tab positions as specified by the value of n and k. Default tabs are set at intervals of eight characters (columns 9, 17, 25). The tab is positioned using the calculation (character width) x n. Character width includes the right- side space of the character and is doubled when double-wide characters are used.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII	Value of n	Value of k
1B 44 [n] k 00	27 68 [n] k 00	ESC D [n] k NUL	1 - 255	0 - 32

Horizontal tab positions are not affected by changes in character width.

•n = (column number where a tab is to be set) - 1. For example, to set a tab in column 6, n = 5.

•k = the total number of horizontal tabs to be set.

When <n> k is less than or equal to the preceding value <n> k- 1, tab setting is finished. All following data is processed as normal. Data exceeding 32 tab stops is also processed as normal. When <n> k exceeds the number of characters printable on a line, the tab position = (maximum printable column) + 1. Enter <n> k in ascending order and be sure to enter a NUL code at the end. To clear all tab positions, enter 1B 44 00.
