Epson SQ-2000, Operating Manual

Page: 44 / 181

This command would select italic proportional print. In
BASIC, the same command would look like this:
LPRINT CHR$(27) “!” CHR$(66);
You can make up your own combinations quite easily. This is
possible because each print style has its own value you can use
with the Master Select command. To create a “custom” Master
Select Code, add the values of the print styles you wish to com-
bine. The values of the print styles are as follows:
Elite
1
Proportional 2
Compressed 4
Emphasized 8
Expanded 32
Italic 64
Underlined
128
For example, if you want to find the code for elite emphasized
italic print you would add these values:
Elite 1
Emphasized 8
64
73
Italic
The Master Select Command you would use would look like
this:
<ESC> “!” 73 (in BASIC: CHR$(27) “!” CHR$(73);)
Note:
Proportional overrides pica/elite. Compressed works only in
draft print.
Some of the more popular styles the SQ-2000 can produce are
shown on the next four pages. The number following each exam-
ple is the ASCII code (decimal) which will select that particular
print style.
Proportional print styles are shown first. These styles are avail-
able in both the letter quality and draft sets. The next page shows
the printing styles that are available in the letter quality set. The
final two pages show the printing styles that are available in the
draft set.
