Set sheet eject length

Set horizontal tab positions

In the customer receipt station, 1 inch = 204 steps and 1mm = 8
steps. Thermal must be an even number.
In the document portrait station, 1 inch = 51 steps and 1 mm = 2
steps.
In the document landscape station, 1 inch = 127 steps and 1 mm =
5 steps.
This command should be sent after "Set print station parameters"
on page 133.
RS-232 Syntax:
ESC C n or X'1B43;n'
where:
n Specifies the number of line feed steps using minimum units moved
when a FF is sent in the receipt station.
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.
RS-232 Syntax:
ESC D [n1 n2] NUL NUL or X'1B44[n1n2]0000'
where:
n1 The high-order-byte dot offset for the horizontal tab.
n2 The low-order-byte dot offset for the horizontal tab.
Default:
There is a tab every 100 dots.
Remarks:
This command should be sent after "Set print station parameters" on page
133.
Up to 5 tab positions can be stored. All 5 n1 n2 value pairs can be included
in one command. Values must be entered in hex.
A tab is calculated from the left margin position.
Tab values must be in ascending order.
Example: To set 3 tab positions - at the 100, 150 and 300 dot positions:
v X'1B4400640096012C0000'
See "Tab to next tab stop" on page 155.
