To send 101 Line Feed commands, send the following string:

1F 0A 31 30 31 1F

where 1F starts the command, 0A indicates the Line Feed command, 31 (Hex)
equals ASCII 1, 30 (Hex) equals ASCII 0, 31 (Hex) equals ASCII 1 (thus 101
indicates the number of times to repeat the Line Feed command), 1F stops the
command.

Wait for Slip

Puts the printer into slip waiting mode. The Slip In LED blinks until a slip is
inserted or the waiting is cancelled. When a slip is detected by both sensors, the
printer delays for a few seconds, and then closes the forms assembly. The delay
is determined by the Clamp Delay (1B 4C) command. Printing begins 0.18
inches from the top of the form. If concurrent feed is selected, both the cut
sheet and the paper roll feed.
