To send Escape Sequences to the printer
If you have revision B.xx.xx software, you may use the test set to send escape
sequences to control printer options such as pitch, margins, paper size, and so
forth. The software comes with some pre-defined escape sequences compatible
with HP printers, listed below, or you have the option to enter others which are
compatible with your printer (use your printer’s user’s manual for the available
print features and corresponding escape sequences). This function is not available
with revision A.xx.xx software.
