This command makes the printer print the contents of the line buffer.

 

 

Text is converted to image data in the line buffer when an <LF> is received. If the line buffer

 

 

is empty when <ESC>p is received, nothing is printed.

 

 

Text to be printed\<LF><ESC>p prints "Text to be printed" on the paper.

ESC P n1

 

Print Self-test Printout

1B 50 n1

Hex

 

27 80 n1

decimal

 

 

 

This command makes the printer generate a self-test page based on the current parameter settings and print that page. The parameter values printed are the ones currently being used. They can differ from Power-ON default values if for example a printout has been made by a driver before <ESC>P is sent to the printer.

For more information, refer to Making a Self-Test Printout on page 26.

 

 

 

n1 = 0

Gives standard self-test printout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n1 = 1

Gives a character set printout using the font selected by parameter n14.

4A n1

hex

74 n1

decimal

 

 

The value n1 represents the number of dot lines the paper is to be transported forward. The valid range is 1 to 255.

A dot line is 0.125 mm, and 255 dot lines equal approximately 32 mm.

Important • Using paper feeding command (<ESC>J, <ESC>j, and <ESC>Q) when operating in fixed page mode (n36 = 0) causes the fixed page to be printed and then the feed operation occurs. To create white space without generating a printout of the fixed page, use <LF>.
