Esc 'J' N Print And Feed Forward; Esc 'J' N Print And Feed Backward - Seiko RP-F10 Series Technical Reference

ESC 'J' n
Code 1BH 4AH n
Definition Range
Function [In standard mode]
Feeds the paper by predefined distance.
When there is data in the line buffer, the printer prints 1 line and then feeds the paper.
The paper feed length is [n × basic calculation pitch] inches.
The vertical basic calculation pitch (y) is used.
[In page mode]
Moves the mapping start position by predefined distance.
The moving distance is [n × basic calculation pitch] inches.
The basic calculation pitch used differs depending on the starting point.
When the starting point is specified as "upper left" or "lower right" by the "Select Print
Direction in Page Mode" command (ESC 'T'), the basic calculation pitch (y) of the paper feed
direction (characters' vertical direction) is used.
When the starting point is specified as "upper right" or "lower left" by the "Select Print
Direction in Page Mode" command (ESC 'T'), the basic calculation pitch (x) of the direction
perpendicular to paper feed (characters' vertical direction) is used.
Notes Following the command execution, the beginning of the line is the next print position.
This command does not affect the line spacing that has been set by the "Set 1/6 Inch Line
Spacing" command (ESC '2') or "Set Line Spacing" command (ESC '3').
The basic calculation pitch is set by the "Set Basic Calculation Pitch" command (GS 'P').
When the calculation result is a fractional figure, it is corrected using the minimum pitch of the
printer, and the remainder is discarded.

ESC 'j' n
Code 1BH 6AH n
Definition Range
Function Feeds the paper backward by predefined distance.
When there is data in the line buffer, the printer prints 1 line and then feeds the paper
backward.
The paper feed length is [n × basic calculation pitch] inches.
The vertical basic calculation pitch (y) is used.
Notes This command is valid only when standard mode is selected. Ignored when page mode is
selected.
Following the command execution, the beginning of the line is the next print position.
This command does not affect the line spacing that has been set by the "Set 1/6 Inch Line
Spacing" command (ESC '2') or "Set Line Spacing" command (ESC '3').
The basic calculation pitch is set by the "Set Basic Calculation Pitch" command (GS 'P').
When the calculation result is a fractional figure, it is corrected using the minimum pitch of the
printer, and the remainder is discarded.
When the paper feed length exceeds 60 dot-lines by the correction calculation with the basic
calculation pitch, this command is ignored.
