I have to assume you know the codes you need. To get them to the
printer, insert a {PRINT} field at the beginning of the document.

The help topic on that field is really sparse, but if memory serves,
there's a little trick to putting the ESC character (ASCII 27) in the
field. For example, if you need to send the ESC character followed by
the string &p20, you'd write it as

{ PRINT 27"&p20" }
