Usage Guidelines
Use printer escape codes to control fonts, line spacing, and the size of the output page, enabling more than 80 characters to print on a line. For example, this hex string:
\x1b\x5b\x53\x0c\x00\x01\x20\x01\x20\x00\x00\x4b\x60\x38\x40\x4e\xc0translates to these values:
- 1b
- ESC
- 5b
- Left square bracket
- 53
- S
- 0c00
- Length of command
- 0120
- Top margin (0.2 inches)
- 0120
- Bottom margin (0.2 inches)
- 0000
- Left margin (0 inches)
- 4b60
- Right margin (13.4 inches)
- 3840
- Page length (10 inches)
- 4ec0
- Page width (14 inches)
The first four values (ESC, [, S, command length) are always the same in a string of escape codes specifying page dimensions. The values representing the margins and page length and width are hex values in 1440ths of an inch and can be changed to meet your specifications. All dimensions are measured as if the page were printed in portrait.
