Condensed Print
P-SERIES SERIAL MATRIX
ASCII Code : See Comment SI
Hex Code : 0F
Purpose : Selects 17 characters per inch (cpi) condensed print format.
Expression : N/A CHR$(15);
Comment : P-Series control code SOH X can be used to select condensed print.
The Serial Matrix condensed print control code (SI) affects all subsequent
characters. After receiving code SI, all characters will be printed in condensed
print until reset by the condensed print reset control code, printer reset, or a
new print mode control code. The Serial Matrix SI code (hex 0F) is equivalent
to the ESC SI code. If condensed print is not allowed in the current print
mode, the code is ignored. Also, Serial Matrix control code ESC X can be
used to select condensed print.
Example : The following sample program illustrates condensed character printing set
and reset.
