CHAPTER 6 EPSON - 6
3. EMULATION
DETAILS
The following points should be borne in mind when using the printer in Epson FX-850 mode.
3.1. Ignored
Commands
The following commands are ignored: the
BEL
control code (ASCII code 7) which is normally used to
sound a printer’s bell, the
DC1
(ASCII 17) and
DC3
(ASCII 19) control codes, used to enable and
disable a printer, the
Esc 9
and
Esc 8
commands, which normally enable and disable the out-of-paper
sensor, the
Esc <
and
Esc U
commands for enabling unidirectional printing and the
Esc x
control code
for choosing between near letter quality and draft printing.
In addition, commands that try to change the printer’s printing speed cannot do so, since the HL-Series
printers always print as fast as they can. Hence, the
Esc s
command, to select or cancel half-speed
printing mode, is also ignored, and the
Esc Y
escape sequence (Print Double-Speed, Double-Density
Image), performs the same function as the
Esc L
(Print Double-Density Image) command.
3.2. Resolution
The resolution of our recent printers is 600 dots per inch. (HL-2060/1650/1670N/
2460/7050/1850/1870N/5050/5070N/5150D/5170DN/6050/6050D/6050DN/8050N/2070N/5240/5250D
N/5270DN/5280DW/5340D/5350DN/5370DW/5380DN supports 1200dpi.) Some instructions use
fractions of an inch by which 600 is not exactly divisible, for example
Esc J
performs a line feed using a
line spacing of n/216". Similarly, there are graphics commands which specify resolutions of 72, 120 and
240 dots per inch. When a line spacing or graphic cannot be implemented exactly at 600 dots per inch
the printer approximates as closely as possible using 600 dots per inch.
