Chapter 3 ANSI Emulation Commands 85 260071 ‐ 001A
ESC [ p1; p2 SP~
Selects emulation (EMU).
ASCII Code
ESC [ p1; p2 SP~
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'5B' p1 X'3B' p2 X'20' X'7E'
Decimal Value 27 91 p1 59 p2 32 126
This sequence selects the emulation according to p values. The p1 parameter is an emulation identifier
value while p2 is a reset control value.
The proprietary defined parameter values are:
p1 p2 FUNCTION
0 ANSI
1 -20 Reserved
21 IBM Proprinter XL 24/24E
22 EPSON LQ 1050
0 Hold values (default). The current settings remain valid after changing the printer
emulation.
1 Full reset. The status of such parameters reverts to defaults dependent on the
selected emulation.
To select ANSI mode from the Proprinter XL 24 mode and maintain the parameters, the sequence would
be: <ESC>[0; 0<SP>~ Leading zeros and defaulting parameters are not guaranteed to be parsed and
therefore should not be used by the application. Parameter p1 & p2 will be expressed as ASCII, not binary,
values. In the example above, “0” is “30H”, not “00H”.
Paper Path Selection
