[Outline]
Selects the maximum printing speed according to the value of ‘
n
’:
0 or ‘0’ about 100 mm/s
1 or ‘1’ about 90 mm/s
2 or ‘2’ about 85 mm/s
3 or ‘3’ about 75 mm/s
4 or ‘4’ about 70 mm/s
5 or ‘5’ about 65 mm/s
6 or ‘6’ about 60 mm/s
7 or ‘7’ about 55 mm/s
8 or ‘8’ about 50 mm/s
9 or ‘9’ about 45 mm/s
These values are approximate. The real maximum speed depends
on the print intensity and the printing head’s temperature.
[Default]
The default value is 0 – maximum printing speed.
25. ESC Y n
Select the intensity level
[Code]
[1Bh] + [59h] + n
[Range]
{0 <=
n
<= 2}
[Outline]
Set the intensity level.
0 or ‘0’
Set low intensity;
1 or ‘1’
Set middle intensity;
2
or ‘
2
’ Set high intensity.
[Caution]
Higher intensities lead to lower speed. There is another variant of
this command (see GS commands).
[Default]
The initial value of n is 1.

The printer transmits 32 bytes of information with the following
structure:
1 – 22: Printer name complemented(padded) with ‘space’ up to 22
symbols.
23 – 25: Firmware version – 3 digits (in ASCII format).
26 – 27: Language version – 2 letters.
28 – 32: 5 bytes flags. Each bit describes a printer feature, as ‘1’
means that the feature is present, while ‘0’ means its absence. Bits
are described as follows:
Bits Meaning:
28.0 Supports IrDA mode
28.1 Supports magnetic stripe card reader
28.2 Supports simultaneous reading of three tracks from a
magnetic stripe card
28.3 ASCII codes above 127 contain Katakana symbols
28.4 Supports JIS and Shift-JIS symbols
28.5 Printer supports ESC . and ESC T commands
28.6 Not Used
28.7 Reserved – always 1
29.0 Supports downloadable fonts and firmware
