The text string. If text string length is specified with n5, the length must be exactly the number of characters specified; otherwise the printer will stop, waiting for more characters.

After the string has been printed, the cursor will return to the position it had before the string command was issued.

Note • The <ESC>t command clears any text preceding it on the same line. Commands will not be cleared.

Note • The Y print-position only works if fixed page length is used. Start a page by specifying page length for example <ESC>C<4><160>, then turn off auto page length with <ESC>c<0>.
