Description
Hi everyone!
I have this problem only on bematech mp100s th. When I send the print, some lines show a "5" char on begining. Another issue is that the number of columns is define with 42 chars and I need 48 chars.

In contat with bematech support, they tell me that the "5" char it's a problem with buffer cleaning, and the number of columns can be set with ESC/POS commands as well. The problem is: As we don't use the default bematech commands the support cannot help us.
So in that case: Can I send the cleaning buffer command with this library, or set a number of columns?
If that is not possible, is a way to, using this library's commands, send the ESC/POS commands present on the linked manual?

Research direction
No source file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating the library's ESC/POS command and column-width support, then compare it with the Bematech MP 100S TH manual. Done means confirming whether buffer clearing and 48-column configuration are supported, and adding or documenting the needed command path if the project accepts the change.
