The manual had these control strings:

Code: [Select]

Form Length (ASCII)
n Inches (n = 1 to 22)    ESC C NUL n        
n Lines (n = 1 to 255)    ESC C  n              

Form Length(Decimal)
n Inches (n = 1 to 22)        27 67 0 n
n Lines (n = 1 to 255)        27 67 n


You have to setup the string and pass it along to the printer. Possibly a write string.

Hope this helps. 8)
