Characters Commands
ESC SP n : Set right side character spacing
ASCII: ESC SP n
Hexadecimal: 1B 20 n
Decimal: 27 32 n
ESC SP n sets the right side character spacing to n x motion defined in
GSP.
ESC % n : Select / cancel user - defined character set
ASCII: ESC % n
Hexadecimal: 1B 25 n
Decimal: 27 37 n

255. When the LSB of n = 0 the internal character set is selected.
When the LSB of n = 1 the user defined character set is selected. n = 0 is
the default setting.-
ESC & y c1 c2 [ x1 d1 ... d(y * x1)]...[xk d1 ... d(y*xk)] : Define user-
defined characters.
ASCII: ESC & y c1 c2 [ x1 d1 ... d(y * x1)]...[xk d1 ... d(y*xk)]
Hexadecimal: 1B 26 n y c1 c2 [ x1 d1 ... d(y * x1)]...[xk d1 ... d(y*xk)]

ESC & y c1 c2 [ x1 d1 ... d(y * x1)]...[xk d1 ... d(y*xk)]
defines user-defined characters from character code c1 to c2. Y and x are
the configuration of a user-defined character.
y defines the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
x defines the number of bytes in the horizontal direction
Character codes from the alphanumeric characters can be defined by c1
and c2. Data (d) specifies a bit printed to 1 and not printed to 0. Once the
user-defined characters have been defined, they are available until:
„
ESC ?, ESC @, or GS * is executed
„
the user-defined characters are redefined
„
the power is turned off
„
the printer is reset
ESC ? n : Cancel user-defined characters
ASCII: ESC ? n

This command cancels the user-defined characters defined for the
character code n. After the user defined characters are cancelled, the
internal character set is printed.
ESC R n : Select an international character set
ASCII: ESC R n
Hexadecimal: 1B 52 n
Decimal: 27 82 n
Selects an international character set n as follows :
0 USA 4 Denmark 1 8 Japan
1 France 5 Sweden 9 Norway
2 Germany 6 Italy 10 Denmark II
3 England 7 Spain 1 11 Spain II
12 Latin America
ESC t n : Select character code table
ASCII: ESC t n
Hexadecimal: 1B 74 n
Decimal: 27 116 n
Selects a page n from the character code table as follows
0 437 4 860
1 850 5 861
2 852 6 863
3 857 7 858

ESC ! n : Select print mode
ASCII: ESC ! n

The default setting is n=0. This command is effective for all characters.
When underline mode is turned on, 90° clockwise rotated characters and white/black
reverse characters cannot be underlined.
