ESC J n
[Designation] Print and feed paper
[Format] 1BH, 4AH, n
[Valid limits 0 n 255
[Initial value] ---
[Function] (1) Prints the data in the print buffer and advances the paper [n × basic calculated
pitch] inches.
(2) After printing is finished, the beginning of the new line is set as the next print
position.
(3) This command does not affect a paper feed amount specified using the
following commands:
a. Select 1/6-inch line spacing (ESC 2)
b. Set line spacing (ESC 3)
(4) The basic calculated pitch is set up using set horizontal and vertical motion unit
(GS P).
(5) If the calculation result contains a fraction, the value is corrected using the
minimum pitch of the mechanism. The remainder is then discarded.
(6) In standard mode, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
(7) In page mode, the operations given below are executed based on the starting
point:
a. The print position is moved in the paper feed direction if the starting point
has been specified as upper left or lower right using the Select print
direction in page mode command (ESC T).
At this time, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
b. If the starting point has been specified as upper right or lower left using
the Select print direction in page mode command (ESC T), the print
position is moved in a direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction.
At this time, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
(8) If [n × (basic calculated pitch)] exceeds about 900 mm (35.4 inches), the paper
is advanced about 900 mm (35.4 inches).
(9) When the initial value of line feed increments is smaller than the height of
printed data:
a. Line feed operation is performed according to line feed increments if no
data is printed.
b. A line feed operation is performed according to the height of print data
(including underlined data) if print data is included.
