I need to understand all the PCL5 commands that would cause a printer to start on the next piece of paper (eject the current page). Obviously an x0C and the Esc&a#G would do this (this is for duplex printing), but what are the other codes??
 
Esc E (reset)

Chr$(12) (FormFeed) - you already mentioned that though &H0C

printing past the printable area (maximum "lines")

 
There are a few...

<esc>&l##A Paper size where ## varies depending on the size

<esc>E Reset, but only if there is printable data

<esc>&1#H Input tray, only if there is printable data

<esc>&l#O Orientation, if there is printable data

And certainly a LF or half LF that puts the cursor past the bottom margin. Output tray may do it as well but I am not sure. There may be a couple of others
