Custom Commands for Eltron Devices

If the Family selected is Eltron or Family Driver, and the Model selected is EPL2 Eltron Printer Language, a printer language from Eltron then the Custom Commandstab displays the following options. Some options may not be relevant to some device models.

Custom commands are sent even if Send Options is cleared in the Advancedtab.

Note: You can enter lower ASCII control codes by using mnemonic text representation. The mnemonic text must be upper case. For example, you can use <ESC> for an escape character or <HT> for a tab character. To enter upper case text that includes < or > but should not be converted to a control code, enclose the text with << and >>. For example, <<US>> is converted to <US>. Lower case or mixed case text enclosed in < and > will remain as is and will not be converted into a control code. For a list of common control codes, see Lower ASCII Control Codes.
