ESC ( R is an ESC/P2 command to enter the EPSON REMOTE Mode. While in this mode, no ESC/P or ESP/P 2 commands will be recognized by the printer until the ESC 00H command is invoked to exit Remote Mode. See the Remote mode section for more information. ESC (/, ESC($ (Set horizontal position command) is recommended to shift to left margin. (To standardize specification: Command to shift left margin has no CR command.) Cautions to set command - The blank of vertical direction should be shifted by Set vertical position command. (Avoid filling blank with NULL image.) Use printer micro weaving Number of vertical direction dots of data is 1 when data is transmitted with Select raster data command ESC i.

Paper Size Specification The region on the paper is separated for 2 regions, the printable region and the nonprintable region. These regions are defined as following; The printable region is the region that can be set for the printing position, and the region surrounded by the left margin position setting, the right margin position setting, the top margin position setting, and the bottom margin position setting. The non-printable region is the region that cannot be set for the printing position except for the right margin position, and the region out of the printable region on the paper. Each margins for the printable region is defined as following; The left margin is the non-printable region width added on the left side of the printable region. The left margin position indicating the border of the margin is set on the X- axis. The left margin position is included in the printable region. The right margin is the non-printable region width added on the right side of the printable region. The right margin position indicating the border of the margin is set on the X-axis. The right margin position is included in the non-printable region. However, the printing position on the right margin position can be set. The top margin is the non-printable region height added on the top of the printable region. The top margin position indicating the border of the margin is set on the Y-axis. The top margin position is included in the printable region. The bottom margin is the non- printable region height added under the bottom of the printable region. The bottom margin position indicating the border of the margin is set on the Y-axis. The bottom margin position is included in the non-printable region. The page management coordinate system is the standard to set each margin positions is same as the position management coordinate system except definition of the origin. The coordinate system to manage printable region set in the page management coordinate system is the position management coordinate system. The page management coordinate system is set per page. The origin of the page management coordinate system is defined as following; The origin on the X-axis is set on the smallest printing position. The smallest printing position is the printing position at the left end that can be set on the paper physically. The smallest printing position depends on the horizontal position of paper at the time of input.

The origin of the Y-axis is the top end of the paper for the page 1 just after feeding paper. The origin of the Y-axis after the page two is the position added page length to the origin of the page management coordinate system in the last page. In the case of cutting sheet, the top of the paper is the origin all the time, because only 1 page can be set. The page and the page length are defined as following; The page is the Y direction unit region including one printable region in it. If its the cutting sheet, only one page can be set on the paper. If its the roll paper, plural pages can be set on the paper. The page length is the Y direction length on the page. If its the cutting sheet, the page length is the Y direction printing region length from the top margin position almost to the bottom margin position. If its the roll paper, the page length is the length from the top margin position on the current page to the top margin position on the next page. The printing region of cutting sheet

CHAPTER 7: SUPPLEMENT
7.1 Set Panel and Remote Command This printer has a display operation panel, and each setting can be set by the panel or by the remote commands. The following are the setting by the panel and by the remote commands: - The setting by the panel is saved as the default value of the printer. - The setting value of remote commands is used for items to set by the driver with remote commands. - The default value of the printer is used for items not to set by the driver. - The default value of the printer is loaded by LD commands (remote commands), and the setting by remote commands is cleared. - The driver sets the LD command and returns to the default value of the printer after finishing job to clear the setting by the remote mode. 7.2 Select Paper Thickness The driver sets the paper thickness to the printer by the paper thickness setting command. The printer enhances the print quality using this thickness as data to calculate the gap of the head - paper surface with each mode. See Chapter 2 7.3 Auto cut ON/OFF This function automatically cuts the roll paper with a cutter after the new page. - If the sheet is selected, the selection of the auto cut is invalid. - The printer operation by the setting of the auto cut depends on the combination of the print page line function. - The default setting of the auto cut is ON.

The function to print page line of paper size position on the right side and at the bottom of the paper. - If the sheet is selected, the selection of the print page line is invalid. - The operation depends on the combination of auto cut On/Off. (See last paragraph) - The default setting of the print page line is Off. - The function is available only for printer MicroWeave Mode. 7.5 Paper Saving Function When paper saving function is selected, the printer follows auto cut setting command (cuts automatically, prints horizontal lines, and waits) after feeding paper for the bottom margin at the position received FF (new page) command. As a result, it can save paper if the image data has space at the end. When paper saving function is not selected and the printer receives FF command, it follows auto cut setting command after feeding paper to the position defined with paper size setting command. Refer to AC command.
