Syntax {I,C,contrast,print_adj,margin_adjust,
speed_adj,ph_width,bat_voltage
p }
C1. C Print Control Packet
C2. contrast -390 to 156. 0 is the default.
C3. print_adj -99 to 99 in 1/192 inch. 0 is the default. Adjusts where
data prints vertically on the supply. Adjust the print if it is
too close to the top or bottom of the supply, or overtypes
a pre-printed area. Increase the print position to move
print up, decrease to move print down.
C4. margin_adj -99 to 99 in 1/192 inch. 0 is the default. Adjusts where
data prints horizontally on the supply. Adjust the print if it
is too close to the left or right side of the supply. Increase
the margin position to move print to the right, decrease to
move print to the left. Margin and print position are
format adjustments, they do not affect the supply position.
