The following printer commands are supported b y this printer according to the IBM Proprinter XL24-XL24 AGM, IBM 2391+ and EPSON LQ Series.
PPrriinntt aanndd LLiinnee FFeeeedd EExxeeccuuttiioonn
CR
Prints all received data and the column counter is set to the left margin.
ASCII Code CR Hexadecimal Value 0D Decimal Value 13
This code is a terminator code; when receiv ed, it causes any data i n the buffer to be printed out. The print head then moves logically to the left margin position. The column counter is set to the left margin value and a line feed is inserted automatically after the carriage return (see the automatic carriage return function in the printer setup). The code resets the double width printing set by SO code.
ESC ]
Sets a reverse line feed. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC ] Hexadecimal Value 1B 5D Decimal Value 27 93
This code is a terminator code; when receiv ed, it causes the current contents of the print buffer to be printed out, before reversing the paper by one line at the current vertical spacing. If no data precedes this command or if the preceding data consists of spaces, the code causes only a reverse line feed to be performed. When the line counter is equal to or less than the top of the form value, the ESC ] is ignored.
8
ESC 5
Sets an automatic line feed after a carriage return. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC 5 n Hexadecimal Value 1B 35 Decimal Value 27 53
n
n
If n is equal to 1, this command sets an automatic line feed on receiving of a CR code. If n is equal to 0, this command cancels the automatic line feed.
n Automatic line feed 0 Disabled 1 Enabled
ESC J
Advances paper n/180 inch. (EPSON and IBMXL24AGM) Advances paper n/216 inch. (IBMXL24 and 2391)
ASCII Code ESC J n Hexadecimal Value 1B 4A Decimal Value 27 74 Range 1 <
This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to be printed out before performing a single line feed of n/180 or n/216 inch. This command is cancelled after the line feed has been performed. The printing will restart after a line feed from the column at which the command was sent.
n
n
n < 255
9
LF
Line Feed.
ASCII Code LF Hexadecimal Value 0A Decimal Value 10
This is a terminator code; it therefore causes the current contents of the print buffer to be printed out before advancing the paper by one line at the current vertical spacing. If no data precedes the LF code, or if the preceding data consists of spaces, the code causes only a line feed.
When the line counter reaches the last line of the form (defined by software or function menu), the LF code causes a skip to the first line of the next form. This code cancels the double width printing set by the SO code. In IBM mode, the column counter is set to the first column if the automatic carriage return is selected. In EPSON mode, the column is always set to the first column.

ASCII Code ESC \ Hexadecimal Value 1B 5C Decimal Value 27 92 Range 0 <
This command specifies the distance between the current print head position and the position where you want to print subsequent characters (relative position). The distance is in number of dots and must be calculated using the following formula:
Current position distance = n where n2 is the integer result of the number of dots divided by 256 and the n1 is the remainder.
The unit of the dots is 1/120 inch for Draft printing or 1/180 inch for Letter Quality. If the distance is negative (Most Significant Bit of m2 equal to 1), the print head will be moved to the left of the current position by a number of dots equal to the complement on two of n
12
ESC 0
Sets vertical spacing to 1/8 inch.
ASCII Code ESC 0 Hexadecimal Value 1B 30 Decimal Value 27 48
This code causes vertical spacing to be set to 1/8 inch.
ESC 1
Sets vertical spacing to 7/72 inch. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC 1 Hexadecimal Value 1B 31 Decimal Value 27 49
This command causes vertical spacing to be set to 7/72 inch.

This sequence sets vertical tabulations in the VFU channel specified by the parameter m. The VFU channel can be imagined as a blank page where you can set up to 16 vertical
tabulations in order to format your page as you like. 8 channels are available and in each of them you can create a sample page tha t you can recall later. n1 to n16 specify the lines at which vertical tabulations must be set.
The values of n must be in ascending order. If you change the vertical spacing, the vertical tabulations set are not cancelled and they maintain their physical position on the page.
The vertical tabulations set in the channel specified by the m parameter are executed by the VT code when the specific channel is selected by the ESC / command, this code is executed as a line feed.

n1 n2 … nx 0
n1 n2… nx 00
n1 n2… nx 0
n < 255
This sequence sets up to 28 (IBM mode) or 32 (EPSON mode) horizontal tab stops after canceling the current setting. The n1 to nx parameters specify the number of columns at which horizontal tab stops are required and must be entered in the sequence in ascending numerical order. Any value outside this range will be ignored. In IBM mode, the tab stop position is memorized as logical position i n the pag e so that i t i s affected by chang ing the horizonta l spa cing. The col umns are numbered 1 through 136. In EPSON mode , th e tab st op pos ition s et b y ES C D is memoriz ed a s physical position in the page and therefore it is not affected by changing the horizontal spacing. The physical position of the tab stop depends on the horizontal spacing in operation when ESC D is used. The ESC D 0 cancels all active tab stops.

This code sets the left margin at the current horizontal spacing. It must be sent at the beginni ng of the line. The n parameter specifies the number of columns. For each type of horizontal spaci ng there is a different range of possible values, as shown in the following table:
20
Character Width Horizontal Spacing Range of columns Double Width
5 0 < n < 67
6 cpi 0 < n < 80
7.5 cpi 0 < n < 100
8.5 cpi 0 < n < 114 10 cpi 0 < n < 134
Normal
10 cpi 0 < n < 134 12 cpi 0 < n < 160 15 cpi 0 < n < 201 17 cpi 0 < n < 229 20 cpi 0 < n < 255 24 cpi 0 < n < 255
Any value outside the accepted range is i gnored and the previous setting remains in effect. The left margin must be smaller than the right margin. The physical position set for the left margin does not change if the horizontal spacing is modified. This command overrides the menu setting.
ESC N
Sets the skipover perforation to n lines.
ASCII Code ESC N n Hexadecimal Value 1B 4E Decimal Value 27 78 Range 1 <

The skipover perforation is the sum of top and bottom margins values at the selected vertical spacing. The n parameter must be less than the current form length. The skipover i s memorized as physical position on the page. It is cancelled by ESC O or changing the form length.
The skipover value, when accepted, will set the top and bottom margins according to the operator panel setting (see User Manual in this CD-ROM):
If the top margin set via operator panel is greater than the skipover value, then the following value of the margins will be set:
Top margin = skipover value Bottom margin = 0 If the top margin set via operator panel is less or equal to the skipover value, then the following
value of the margins will be set: Top margin = operator panel value Bottom margin = the difference between skipover value and top margin value If the sum of the top and bottom margins values set via operator panel is less than the skipover
value, the following values for the margins will be set: Top margin = operator panel value Bottom margin = the difference between skipover value and top margin value
Changing the vertical spacing does not affect the skipover distance. This can be changed by a further ESC N command or can be reset by the ESC O command, which resets the skipover value to 0. The skipover perforation will be executed when the end of the page is reached with a LF, VT or FF code and not with the ESC J or ESC C command, the skipover perforation is cancelled and must therefore be set again.
22
ESC O
Disables the skipover perforation.
ASCII Code ESC 0 Hexadecimal Value 1B 4F Decimal Value 27 79
This sequence sets the number of lines of the skipover perforation to the value 0 a nd so any ski p perforation set by ESC N is cancelled.
ESC Q
Sets the right margin. (EPSON)
ASCII Code ESC Q n Hexadecimal Value 1B 51 Decimal Value 27 81 Range 1 <
n
n
n < 225
This code sets the line length at the current horizontal spaci ng. It must be sent at the beginning of the line.
The n parameter specifies the number of columns a nd for each type of horizontal spacing there is a range of values, as shown in the following table:
23
Character Width Horizontal Spacing Range of columns Double Width
5 cpi 1 < n < 67 6 cpi 1 < n < 81
7.5 cpi 1 < n < 101
8.5 cpi 1 < n < 116 10 cpi 1 < n < 135
Normal
10 cpi 1 < n < 135 12 cpi 1 < n < 162 15 cpi 1 < n < 203 17 cpi 1 < n < 232 20 cpi 1 < n < 255 24 cpi 1 < n < 255
Any value outside the accepted range is i gnored and the previous setting remains in effect. The right margin must be greater than the left margin. The physical position set for the right margin does not change if the horizontal spacing is modified.
ESC R
Sets horizontal and vertical tab stops to default values. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC R Hexadecimal Value 1B 52 Decimal Value 27 82
This command sets horizontal tab stops every eight columns starting from column 9 and cancels all vertical tab stops.
24
ESC SP
Sets intercharacter space. (EPSON)
ASCII Code ESC SP n Hexadecimal Value 1B 20 Decimal Value 27 32 Range 0 <

n < 255
This command sets the intercharacter space to n/120 inch in Draft printing and n/180 inch in Quality printing.
ESC X
Sets left and right margins. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC X Hexadecimal Value 1B 58 Decimal Value 27 88 Range 0 <
2 <
This command sets the left and right margins simultaneously. The n respectively the number of columns for the left and right margi ns at the current spacing. These margins are memorized in terms of absolute displacement from the physical left edge of the page. Use a CR immediately after ESC X n to establish the print head position relative to the new margin setting.

25
FF
Advances paper to the top of the next page.
ASCII Code FF Hexadecimal Value 0C Decimal Value 12
This code is a terminator code, when received, ca uses all data in the print buffer to be printed out. Then it advances the paper to the first printable line of the next form. The line counter is set to the first line value and the column counter is set to the left margin value. This code cancels the double width printing set by SO code.
HT
Moves logically the print carriage to the next horizontal tab stop.
ASCII Code HT Hexadecimal Value 09 Decimal Value 9
This code moves logically the print carriag e to the next horizontal tab stop as defined by ESC D. Up to 28 (IBM mode) or 32 (EPSON mode) horizontal tab stops can be set. The HT code is ignored if no tab stop has been set or if the current print carri age position has moved past the last tab position or if the tab stop is on or beyond the right margin. At power on, the tab stops are set every eight columns (default).
In EPSON mode, the default tab stops are memorized as logical position in the page, so that are affected by changing the horizontal spacing. The tab stop positions set by ESC D are memorized as physical position in the page and therefore they are not affected by changing the horizontal spacing. When the double width printing is selected, the tab stop setting must take account that each character occupies two columns. In IBM mode, the tab stops, both, default and set by ESC, are memorized as logical position in the page, so that are affected by changing the horizontal spacing. The horizontal tab stops can be changed by the ESC D command.
