The commands in this section control how the printer uses black-mark
supplies.

Be aware of the features of your supplies (distance between black marks,
existence of any preprinted text, etc.) as you code these commands. For
example, you may have to code the black mark search command multiple
times if the marks are farther apart than the maximum search allows.

To use these commands:

1 . Set the sensitivity of the search mechanism in finding the black mark

(ESC-QQ command)

2 . Move the supplies forward (ESC-QF command) or backward (ESC-QB or

ESC-QJ commands) to find the black mark.

3 . Wait for a response from the printer (found or not found).

4 . Send a data stream with printing commands.
