Set sheet eject length

EIA-232 Syntax:

ESC C n or X'1B43;n'

where:

n

Specifies the number of line feed steps using minimum units moved

In the document station, an eject will feed until the document has
exited the lower document sensors - this length is not used.

Default:

n = A0 (160 decimal)

Maximum:

255 steps (FF hex)

This value is stored in the EEPROM in the printer so that it is not lost when the
printer is reset.
