FUNCTION
[41]
ESC ? n m
[1B,3F,n,m] H
Re-assign graphic type for ESC K, ESC L,
[27,63,n,m] D
ESC Y, and ESC Z commands.
n: specifies the former graphic type assigned
by "K", "L", "Y", or "Z"
m: specifies the new graphic type in table below
Note (
*)
: Horizontal adjacent dots can not be printed.
[42]
ESC @
[1B,40] H [27,64] D
Initializes printer.
[43]
ESC A n
[1B,41,n] H [27,65,n] D
Sets line spacing to n/60" (0
≤
n
≤
127).
[44]
ESC B n1 n2...
[1B,42,n1,n2,...n16,00] H
Sets vertical tab positions beginning from n1 and end
n16 NUL
[27,66,n1,n2,...n16,0] D
with NUL [00]H. n1=1 is at the second line from TOF.
Downloaded data and communication buffer are not
cleared. The current print line becomes the top of the
form.
[45]
ESC C n
[1B,43,n] H [27,67,n] D
Sets page length in line unit (1
≤
n
≤
127).
The current print line becomes TOF (top of form).
[46]
ESC C NUL n
[1B,43,00,n] H [27,67,0,n] D
Sets page length in inch unit (1
≤
n
≤
22).
The current print line becomes TOF (top of form).
[47]
ESC D n1
[1B,44,n1,n2,...n32,00] H
Sets horizontal tab position (1
≤
n
≤
255).
n2...n32 NUL
[27,68,n1,n2,...n32,0] D
n indicates the number of spaces from the left margin
with the character width at the command execution.
n1=1 is at the second column from the left margin.
[48]
ESC E
[1B,45] H [27,69] D
Sets emphasized character mode.
[49]
ESC F
[1B,46] H [27,70] D
Cancels emphasized character mode.
[50]
ESC G
[1B,47] H [27,71] D
Sets double strike character mode.
[51]
ESC H
[1B,48]H [27,72] D
Cancels double strike character mode.
[52]
ESC J n
[1B,4A,n] H [27,74,n] D
n/180" linefeeds after printing (0
≤
n
≤
255).
[53]
ESC K n1 n2
[1B,4B,n1,n2,data] H
Prints the 8-pin Standard-density graphic mode.
data
[27,75,n1,n2,data] D
The total number of dots in the data is set by
n1+n2
x
256.
[54]
ESC L n1 n2
[1B,4C,n1,n2,data] H
Prints the 8-pin Double-density graphic mode.
data
[27,76,n1,n2,data] D
The total number of dots in the data is set by
n1+n2
x
256.
[55]
ESC M
[1B,4D] H [27,77] D
Selects elite (12cpi) mode.
The condensed pica character (17.1 cpi) also becomes
the condensed elite character (20 cpi).
[56]
ESC N n
[1B,4E,n] H [27,78,n] D
Sets skip over perforation (1
≤
n
≤
127).
n specifies the number of lines to be skipped at the
end of a page.
For example: If the line spacing is 1/6 inch and the page length is 66 lines,
an ESC N 6 command causes the printer to print 60 lines, then skip 6 lines.
The space to be skipped is 1 inch (1/6 inch
x
6).
