EscBoxliy is the base NIB ESC family for common thermal printing, media setup, and device queries.

Boxliy Command list

The supported protocols, families, and parameter values depend on the target firmware. Ask engineering or support for the printer support list.

feed(lines) / lineRow(rows) Print and layout	1B 64 {lines}	lines: number of feed lines.	Feeds by line count.	Exposed by Java; TypeScript currently uses lineDot.
lineDot(dot) Print and layout	1B 4A {dot}	dot: feed distance in dots.	Feeds forward by dots.	-
backLineDot(dot) Print and layout	10 FF 81 {dot}	dot: reverse feed distance in dots.	Feeds backward by dots.	-
