Hexadecimal 1B 4C
Decimal 27 76
[Outline] This command switches from the standard mode to the page mode.
• The page mode deploys the received data over the specified print area and prints it in batch
with the FF command. Consequently, normal print commands such as LF only deploy the
data in the printer’s memory, but not actually print it.
• The printer returns to the standard mode after printing the data in the specified print area with
FF.
[Caution] • The command is valid only when it is input at the head of the line.
• In the page mode, half dots are not used, but only normal dots. Therefore, you should take
heed in setting in increments of half dot in the standard mode.
• Only the font consisting of normal dots is valid.
• The following commands have two kinds of set values for the standard mode and page
mode:
ESC SP Sets the right space size of the characters
ESC 2 Sets the 1/6-inch line feed amount
ESC 3 Sets the line feed amount
• The following commands are ignored in the page mode:
ESC K Print and reverse directional paper feed
ESC e Print and n-line reverse directional paper feed
ESC * Specifies the double density bit image
ESC q Release
• The following commands are valid only for their setting in the page mode:
ESC { Selects/deselects the inverted characters
ESC ! Selects/deselects the 7
×
7 font and underline
• The command is valid only in the standard mode.
• ESC @ returns you to the standard mode without printing.
