[Description]
ESC J
n Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper [n x
(vertical or horizontal motion unit) inches.
This command is used to temporarily feed a specific length without
changing the line spacing set by other commands.
[Notes]
After printing is completed, this command sets the print starting position
to the beginning of the line.
The paper feed amount set by this command does not affect the values
set by
“
ESC 2
”
or
“
ESC 3
”
.
The horizontal and vertical motion unit is specified by
“
GS P
”
.
The
“
GS P
”
command can change the vertical (and horizontal) motion
unit.
However, the value cannot be less than the minimum vertical movement,
and it must be in even units of the minimum vertical movement amount.
In standard mode, the printer uses the vertical motion unit.
When this command is used in page mode, the command functions as
follows, depending on the starting position of the printable area.
When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printable area using
“
ESC T
”
, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printable area using
“
ESC T
”
, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
The maximum paper feed amount is 40 inches. Even if a paper feed
amount of more than 40 inches is set, the printer feeds the paper only 40
inches.
When label mode is selected and a paper feed amount that exceeds the
length of one label is set, the printer feeds the label paper to the next print
starting position.
