ESC C
Sets form length to n lines. (IBM, EPSON)
ASCII Code ESC C n
Hexadecimal Value 1B 43 n
Decimal Value
27 67 n
Range 1 < n < 127
This command sets the form length to the number of lines specified by n at the current
vertical spacing. The current position of the paper is assumed as top of form.
ESC D
Sets horizontal tabs. (IBM, EPSON)

Range 1 < n < 255
This sequence sets up to 28 (IBM mode) or 32 (EPSON mode) horizontal tab stops
after canceling the current setting. The n
1
to n
x
parameters specify the number of
columns at which horizontal tab stops are required and must be entered in the
sequence in ascending numerical order. Any value outside this range will be ignored.
In IBM mode, the tab stop position is memorized as logical position in the page so that
it is affected by changing the horizontal spacing. The columns are numbered 1 through
93.
In EPSON mode, the tab stop position set by ESC D is memorized as physical position
in the page and therefore it is not affected by changing the horizontal spacing. The
physical position of the tab stop depends on the horizontal spacing in operation when
ESC D is used. The ESC D 0 cancels all active tab stops.
