0 ≤ n ≤ 255
Default: None
Description: Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper n × (vertical or
horizontal motion unit).
Notes:
• The maximum paper feed amount is 1016 mm (40 inches). If the
specified amount exceeds 1016 mm (40 inches), the paper feed amount
is automatically set to 1016 mm (40 inches).
• When standard mode is selected, the vertical motion unit is used.
• When page mode is selected, the vertical or horizontal motion unit is
used for the print direction set by ESC T.
• When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printing area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit is used.
• When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printing area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit is used.
• After printing, the printing position moves to the beginning of the line.
When a left margin is set in standard mode, the position of the left
margin is the beginning of the line.
• When this command is processed in page mode, only the printing
position moves, and the printer does not perform actual printing.
• This command is used to temporarily feed a specific length without
changing the line spacing set by other commands.
