ESC J

Advances paper n/216 or n/v inch. (IBM 4722, 9068)

ASCII Code

ESC J n

Hexadecimal Value

1B 4A n

Decimal Value

27 74 n

Range 0

< n < 255

This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to
be printed out before performing a single line LF of n/216 inch or to n/v inch, when the
vertical base unit has been changed to v using ESC [ \.

LF

Line Feed.
(IBM Proprinter XL24/XL24E, 2391+, 4722, 9068 and EPSON ESC/P2)

ASCII Code

LF

Hexadecimal Value

0A

Decimal Value

10

This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to
be printed out before advancing the paper by one line at the current vertical spacing.
If no data precedes the LF code, or if the preceding data consists of spaces, the code
causes only a line feed.

When the line counter reaches the last line of the form (defined by software or function
menu), the LF code causes a skip to the first line of the next form or ejects a cut sheet,
if loaded. This code cancels the double width printing set by the SO code. In IBM
mode, the column counter is set to the first column if the automatic carriage return is
selected. In EPSON mode, the column is always set to the first column.
