Unlike the ESC % 5 n command, the ESC J n command is not accompanied by a carriage
return, and, in the IBM and Epson emulations, does not cancel one-line double width printing.
In the IBM and Epson emulations, the value of n can be any whole number from 0 to 255.
In the MICROLINE Standard emulation, the value of n can be any whole number from 0 to
127.
If you use n = 0, no line feed will be performed.
