P2: Carriage return This controls the way the printer interprets the carriage return (CR) control code. P2 value 0 1 2 Description Ignore 0x0d Carriage return Carriage return plus line feed P3: Line feed This controls the way the printer interprets the line feed (LF) control code. P3 value 0 1 2 Description Ignore 0x0d Line feed Line feed plus carriage return R3: Use FRPO edge limits and margins By default, FRPO edge limit settings (L5-L8) and FRPO margin settings (A1-A8) are ignored when the base emulation is PCL. To activate these FRPO settings for PCL, the R3 parameter must be set to 1. Note that the R3 parameter applies only to PCL emulation. FRPO edge limit and margin limit settings are always acknowledged when the base emulation is Proprinter or Line Printer. U0-U1: Line spacing This sets the number of lines printed per inch. U0 and U1 represent the integer part and the fraction part of the line spacing value, respectively. If U0 is set to 5 and U1 is set to 63, then line spacing is 5.63 lines per inch. U6: Country code U6 is used to set the default symbol set. The factory default value for U6 in the PRESCRIBE emulation is set to 255. This forces the U6 parameter to be ignored and the symbol set to be initialized according to the printer control panel setting for symbol set. If a specific symbol set other than the default is required, then U6 should be set accordingly. PRESCRIBE commands 15

R3: Use FRPO edge limits and margins
By default, FRPO edge limit settings (L5–L8) and FRPO margin settings (A1–A8) are ignored when the base emulation
is PCL. To activate these FRPO settings for PCL, the R3 parameter must be set to 1. Note that the R3 parameter applies
only to PCL emulation. FRPO edge limit and margin limit settings are always acknowledged when the base emulation
is Proprinter or Line Printer.
U0–U1: Line spacing
This sets the number of lines printed per inch. U0 and U1 represent the integer part and the fraction part of the line
spacing value, respectively. If U0 is set to 5 and U1 is set to 63, then line spacing is 5.63 lines per inch.
U6: Country code
U6 is used to set the default symbol set. The factory default value for U6 in the PRESCRIBE emulation is set to 255. This
forces the U6 parameter to be ignored and the symbol set to be initialized according to the printer control panel setting
for symbol set. If a specific symbol set other than the default is required, then U6 should be set accordingly.
