Hexadecimal Value 1B 2D

If the document is not inserted, the printer feeds it in, measures its length in
elementary steps and sends the value to the CU by means of the ESC S n command.
The elementary step value is expressed in n/240" or n/216", depending on the value
selected in setup.
When the command has been executed, the position of the document is unknown, so
its next position must be given by an absolute position setting.
The command is not accepted (command specification error) if:
• It is sent inside a printing field.
• A device other than the front paper stand is selected.
