D-34 Code Sets

Table D-6. Epson and IBM Escape Sequences––continued

Function

ASCII

Hexadecimal

Decimal

Description

Absolute and Relative Moving––continued

Relative move down or up

To reverse feed the paper, subtract the number of incre-

(continued)

ments to move from 65,536 and then supply the correct n1 and
n2 values. For example, to reverse feed the paper two inches
(480 x 1/240"), first subtract 480 from 65,536 to get 65,056.
Then, use the equation to determine the correct n1 and n2 values.
In this example, the correct n2 value is 254 and the correct n1
value is 32 (65,056 = (254 x 256) + 32).

Boundaries, Tabs and Page Formatting

Set top-of-form (TOF) .............

ESC 4

1B 34

27 52

This sequence sets the top-of-form at the current line position.
The printer regards the current print line as the first line on the
page (line 0) and starts counting lines from that point.

)Note: Most AMT ACCEL-6300 series printers do not
support this printer command.

Set left print boundary .............

ESC l n

1B 6C n

27 108 n

This sequence cancels printing of the current line, resets the
default tabs, and sets the left print boundary anywhere on the
line. All subsequent horizontal move commands, such as
carriage returns and tabs, are relative to the new boundary. The
value of variable n defines where to set the left print boundary
relative to the true leftmost print position and with respect to the
current character spacing. For example, to set the left print
boundary one inch to the right of the true leftmost print position
with character spacing at 10 cpi, the correct sequence is ESC l
LF. If the sequence specifies a boundary that is at or to the right
of the right print boundary, the printer ignores this sequence. If
you set a left print boundary with proportional-spacing selected,
the printer uses 12 cpi to interpret the n variable.
