ESC L switches from standard mode to page mode. This command is enabled only when processed
at the beginning of a line in standard mode; it has no effect in page mode. Standard mode is selected
as the default.
The following commands are not effective in page mode: ESC V, ESC a, ESC {, GS L, and GS W.
If these commands are processed in page mode, an internal flag is activated.
ESC S switches from page mode to standard mode. This command is effective only in page mode.
Data buffered in page mode is cleared. This command returns the values set by ESC W to the default
values. The value set by ESC T is maintained. The printer returns to standard mode with ESC S, FF,
and ESC @. When it returns to standard mode by ESC @, all settings are canceled. This command
sets the print position to the beginning of the line. The setting of ESC T and ESC W are not effective
in printing in standard mode but an internal flag is activated. In standard mode, FF, CAN, ESC FF,
ESC S, GS $ and GS / are ignored. Standard mode is selected as the default.
