MTH

: The default printer language is called MTH. It is near ESC/P commands

essentially in text printing. In graphic, only one horizontal dot line is printed at 
once while ESC/P mode uses 8 or 24 vertical dot lines.

PCL:

 Last mode is PCL Raw. Only the graphic raw modes are interpreted 

with several compression types : No compression, Run Length, Tiff and Delta 
Row. A graphical scaling mode is implemented to fit large graphic printouts in 

the width of the printer.

EPS24 Lite: 

This mode is reserved to special applications.  

It is not a full Epson 24 needles compatibility.

Hexa:

 In this mode, the hexadecimal values of successive characters are 

printed in a first column and their ASCII shapes in a second column. Warning:
the control codes are not interpreted any more. This mode is used for 

connection debugging. Each line begins by a characters counter (also in 
hexadecimal). This mode can be temporary activated at the power-up (see 

chapter 3.5).
