4.2. SELECT LINE ALIGNMENT:
[Command] : $1B61mn
[Range] : m=30 for Left alignment
m=31 for Center alignment
m=32 for Right alignment
[Range] : n < Characters per line. (Range between from 0 to Characters per line)
[Description] : Selects the type of alignment using m.
Characters to align = n. n should be less than characters per line.
$1B6130n - Left alignment
$1B6131n - Center alignment
$1B6132n - Right alignment
[Notes] : In alignment, if you want to change font, you can send font command followed
by alignment command.
Sample Text
$1B613012<Space>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Here m = 30 and n = 12
Sample Text
$1B613108<Space>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Here m = 31 and n = 08
Sample Text
$1B613205<Space>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Here m = 32 and n = 05

4.7. PRINT FEED N LINES:
[Command] : $14$0$n
[Range] : 00 ≤ n ≤ 99 (n in millimeter)
[Description] : Prints data and feed “n” millimeter line spacing.
[Notes] : This command is used to feed a specific line without changing the line spacing
set by other commands.
4.8. PRINT REVERSE FEED N LINES:
[Command] : $14$1$n
[Range] : 00 ≤ n ≤ 99 (n in millimeter)
[Description] : Prints data and feed “n” millimeter line spacing in reverse direction.
[Notes] : This command is used to feed a specific line without changing the line spacing
