If skip over perforation is set to YES on the menu, the printer will automatically skip
an inch from the bottom of one page to the top of the next form. Use the ESC N
command to change the number of lines skipped. The actual amount of space skipped
between pages varies with the current line spacing. After you have set the skip size,
it will not increase or decrease if you change line spacing. The ESC O command
cancels the perforation skip.
Note: The skip over perforation feature will interfere with page formatting
controlled by software packages such as word processors. If you are using
a package that controls page length directly, you should set the SKIP
OVER PERFORATION item in the menu to NO.

n1 and n2 are the number of bytes in the sequence. Normally this will be four so n1
= 4 and n2 = 0, or two n1 = 2 and n2 = 0.
m1 and m2 defines the top margin distance from the top of form to the top edge of the
first line. The unit is
