    4.3 Limitations of Command Settings • “Exit Packet Mode”, in many circumstances, command MUST be called before any communication or printing can occur on any I/F. This command is described in the “Individual Command Specifications”. • The “Set absolute vertical print position ESC (V” and “Set relative vertical print position ESC (v” commands will set the starting print position of the subsequent data to be printed, including whatever white space may exist within that data.

    6.1 Remote Mode Language Description In addition to EPSON’s ESC/P and its extension ESC/P2 serial printer languages, most EPSON printers also implement another EPSON serial printer language that is bi-directional. That language is called Remote Mode. It is entered from ESC/P or ESC/P2 mode.
