Description
Using escpos v3.0.0-alpha.3 and escpos-usb v3.0.0-alpha.2 I am able to print from Debian linux. However each content type is prefixed by a letter. All text is prefixed by an 'M' and the first line of images is prefixed by an 'a', shifting the first row over by one character width.
Is this a known issue, is there a fix?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the prefixed output with escpos v3.0.0-alpha.3 and escpos-usb v3.0.0-alpha.2 on Debian Linux, then trace the text and image output path. Done means printed text has no leading “M” and images no longer have the leading “a” shifting the first row.
