   I also read more in the Programming Guide and found on page 24
   a description of the command transfer sequences that should be
   used when "talking" to a 740 or 900. This also refers to the
   "secret" ESC (R command. The manual just says that these commands=20
   are "... not inclued in the ESC/P Reference manual."

Yeah, I think that that's some of the NDA stuff.

   They are using these commands to set up the print job and to=20
   terminate the job:

   1.1 Enter Remote Mode		ESC ( R
   1.2 Set Paper Feed Sequence	SN
   1.3 Exit Remote Mode		ESC NUL
   1.4 Initialization		ESC @
   1.5 Set graphics Mode		ESC ( G
   1.6 Set Unit			ESC ( U
   =2E..
   print job
   =2E..
   7.1 Initialize Printer		ESC @
   7.2 Select Paper Feed Sequence	ESC ( R
				   LD
				   ESC NUL

   So the "remote mode" is entered using ESC ( R, and it is left again
   with ESC NUL. Does somebody know what SN and LD stands for?

Nope.  However, it doesn't sound like paper feeding is your problem --
the paper feeds OK, and responds to the vertical feed commands, but it
doesn't actually *do* anything.
