ESC J
Advances paper n/180 inch. (EPSON)
ASCII Code ESC J n
Hexadecimal Value 1B 4A n
Decimal Value 27 74 n
Range 0 < n < 255
This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to
be printed out before performing a single line LF of n/180 inch. This command is
cancelled after the LF has been performed. The printing will restart after a line feed
from the column at which the command was sent.
LF
Line Feed. (IBM, EPSON)
ASCII Code LF
Hexadecimal Value 0A
Decimal Value 10
This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to
be printed out before advancing the paper by one line at the current vertical spacing.
If no data precedes the LF code, or if the preceding data consists of spaces, the code
causes only a line feed.
When the line counter reaches the last line of the form (defined by software or function
menu), the LF code causes a skip to the first line of the next form or ejects a cut sheet,
if loaded. This code cancels the double width printing set by the SO code. In IBM
mode, the column counter is set to the first column if the automatic carriage return is
selected. In EPSON mode, the column is always set to the first column.
