Enable Printing Of Control Codes
ASCII Code ESC I
n
Hex Code 1B 49 n
Dec Code 27 73 n
Purpose Tells the printer to treat codes 0x00 through 0x1F and 0x80
through 0x9F as either printable characters or control codes.
Where:
n
= 1, codes 0x00 through 0x1F and 0x80 through 0x9F are
treated as printable characters
n
= 0, codes 0x00 through 0x1F and 0x80 through 0x9F are
treated as control codes
Comment This command has no effect when the italic character table is
selected; no characters are defined for these codes in the italic
character table.
Font Expansion
ASCII Code ASSC 0 e n1 n2
Hex Code ASSC 30 65 n1 n2
Dec Code ASSC 48 101 n1 n2
Purpose Expand the DBCS characters up to the size of 72.
For this command to work, n1 must be the same value as n2
(i.e. n1=n2). When n1 and n2 = 25 to 72, this set font expansion
mode is ON. The value of n1 and n2 determines the bitmap
size. For example, if the size of n1 is 50, then the size of the
bitmap will be set to 50x50. For n1 and n2 = 24, the font
expansion mode resets to OFF and the bitmap size reverts to
the default, 24x24.
Inter-line spacing and inter-character spacing calculations are
based on standard setting as if the bitmap is 24x24. This
command only increases the size of the bitmap and does not
affect the inter-character spacing or inter-line spacing. For
example, if inter-line spacing is 6 dot rows, when the bitmap is
expanded from 24x24 to 72x72, the inter-line spacing still
remains as 6 dot rows. The same is true for inter-character
spacing.
Other commands, such as double height, double width, 2x2
times, left/right margin etc., will not function when the font
expansion mode is set on. For different typefaces, the
characters will expand based on the appropriate typeface
resolution. All commands affecting LPI and CPI still takes effect
and is set as if the bitmap is 24x24 as mentioned above.
Where
n1 = 24 - 71
n2 = 24 - 72
Comment This control code does not function while in non-DBCS mode.
