G ESC & k # G Line Termination Instructs the printer how to handle various standard printer control codes such as carriage return (CR), line feed (LF), and form feed (FF). # has four possible values, as shown: # = CR = LF = FF = ------ -------------- -------------- -------------- 0 CR LF FF 1 CR + LF LF FF 2 CR CR + LF CR + FF 3 CR + LF CR + LF CR + FF > ESC & k ... H ESC & k # H Cursor Positioning, Horizontal Motion Index Sets the column width in 1/120ths of an inch. # = number of 1/120 of an Inch > ESC & l ... C ESC & l # C Cursor Positioning/Vertical Motion Index Sets the line width in 1/48ths of an inch. # = number of 1/48 of an Inch > ESC & l ... T ESC & l # T Paper Control, Job Offset (LaserJet Model 500).
