Sets the wait time between paper insertion (TOF/BOF sensor senses
the paper) and automatic clamp activation by n

The default value of n is 7 (wait time is 0.7 sec.)
The value of m is fixed to 0.
Page Mode
<ESC> “n”
1B 6E
Selects page mode
Switches from line mode (default) to page mode.
This code is only valid when it is entered at the beginning of the line.
The page mode is suitable even though data is printed in the
rotational direction specified by <ESC> “T” n and in the page
coordinate range specified by <ESC> “*” •••, and though paper with
a horizontal length of a check, etc. is rotated 90 or 270 and printing
is carried out in all modes.
In page mode, since OR is applied to the data in the print area,
characters and bit images can be printed overlapping each other and
each character can be rotated and oriented independently.
In page mode, if printing data and a command such as <CR> or
<LF> are sent in the same way as in line mode, there is an automatic
rotation to the printer side.
All printing of data in the print area is performed according to <LF>.
After printing according to <FF>, the printer returns to line mode. In
addition, if <ESC> “!”, <ESC> “@” or <CAN> are specified,
printing is not performed and the printer leaves page mode and
returns to line mode.
While returning to line mode, the data in the printer buffer, the area
coordinates and the rotation directions are all cleared.
The following restrictions exist in page mode.
1) In page mode, half-dot characters cannot be printed since
printing is carried out in normal dot units.
When entering page mode, the ANK font is automatically set to
a 5
×
9 (2 pulses = 1 dot) font.
Since the 7
×
9 font and 5
×
9 (3 pulses = 1 dot) font commands
cannot be executed in page mode, they are executed after the
printer returns to line mode.
When the spacing between characters is an odd value, one half-
dot is truncated.
