Sending raw PCL5 codes to the printer

I have a report that has to be dropped on a preprinted form, so I have to be able to move the report on the paper. PCL5 allows for this easily, but CR doesn't seem to want to send a chr(27) to the printer. (I have a formula field set to pick up the offsets from the table and send the offset command to the printer by being in the header.) Anyone know of any work-around? Or some place in CR to send raw printer codes?

(No, the codes can't be set in the app - we're only writing the reports.)
 
Another thought:

Is it possible to change the page margins dynamically (based on 2 numbers in a table) Before Print somehow? That would accomplish the same thing even batter.
