Chapter 1 EPSON/IBM Commands 24 260071 ‐ 001A
ESC d
Spaces forwards relative dot position. (IBM)
ASCII Code
ESC d n1 n2
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'64' n1 n2
Decimal Value 27 100 n1 n2
Range 0 = n1 n2 = 255
This command moves the print carriage (n1 +(n2*256))/120 of an inch displacement on the right of its
current dot position. If the selected position is outside the current right margin, it is forced to the last
column.
ESC e
Spaces backward relative dot position. (IBM)
ASCII Code
ESC e n1 n2
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'65' n1 n2
Decimal Value 27 101 n1 n2
Range 0 = n1 n2 = 255
This command moves the print carriage (n1 +(n2*256))/120 of an inch displacement on the left of its
current dot position. If the selected position is outside the current left margin, it is forced to the first
column.
ESC I
Sets left margin. (EPSON)
ASCII Code
ESC I n
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'6C' n
Decimal Value 27 108 n
Range 0 = n = 255
This code sets the left margin at the current horizontal spacing. It must be sent at the beginning of the
line. The n parameter specifies the number of columns. For each type of horizontal spacing there is a
different range of possible values, as shown in the following table:
Character Width Horizontal Spacing Range of columns
Double Width 5 cpi 0 = n = 67
6 cpi 0 = n = 80
7.5 cpi 0 = n = 100
8.5 cpi 0 = n = 114
10 cpi 0 = n = 134
