The [ESC] [EM] P <n> command adjusts the position of the first line of print in
slip mode.
Where <n> is the offset from the top of the form in 1/72 inch, n may be from 0
or 0/72 to 15 or 15/72 inch. The slip position command allows fine adjustment
of the top of inserted forms. The default is configurable.
1.
This command must be issued before the station select command. It is only
active for front form validation operations. Once issued, the value will be
used until the printer is power cycled or the command is reissued.
2.
In normal mode, printing begins 15/72 inch from the top edge of the form.
In EPOS mode, printing begins 1/5 inch from the top edge of the form.

If the left and right margins are set to the right of the current horizontal position,
the new left and right margins become valid in the same line.
If the left margin is set to the left of the current horizontal position and the right
margin to the right of the current horizontal position, the right margin becomes
valid in the same line, but the left margin setting becomes valid in the next line.
When the left and right margins are set to the left of the current horizontal
position, both left and right margin settings appear to become valid in the next
line. This is because an auto-CR is performed by the following data.
