Set print gap .............................. ESC @ g 1B 40 67 27 64 103 This sequence causes the printer to detect the forms thickness at
the current print position and to reset the print gap for optimal
print quality. Although the printer sets the print gap
automatically each time a new form is loaded, you can use this
sequence to reset the print gap at any location on the form. This
is useful when printing on multi-thickness forms, such as forms
with peel-off cards or labels.
Park paper................................. ESC @ p 1B 40 70 27 64 112 This sequence causes the printer to reverse-feed the paper to the
parked position. If pin-feed paper is not loaded when the printer
receives this sequence, the printer ignores the sequence.
Select paper path ...................... ESC @ l n 1B 40 6C n 27 64 108 n This sequence selects a paper path for subsequent paper
Top ....................................... ESC @ l NUL 1B 40 6C 00 27 64 108 0 feeding. If pin-feed paper is loaded when the printer re-
Rear...................................... ESC @ l SOH 1B 40 6C 01 27 64 108 1 ceives this sequence, the printer parks the paper and then
Bottom.................................. ESC @ l STX 1B 40 6C 02 27 64 108 2 switches to the specified paper path. If a cut sheet is loaded
Top-mounted tractor ........... ESC @ l ETX 1B 40 6C 03 27 64 108 3 when the printer receives this sequence, the printer ejects the cut
sheet and then switches to the specified paper path. If the
sequence specifies the active paper path, the printer ignores the
sequence.
