• ANK character font size specification

This command sets the ANK characters to two-byte or single-byte fonts. Settings using the

ESC sequence (ESC, J/j) in the print text data string are enabled only in the command, but

settings using this command function as default settings.

STX, 91h, ‘J’/‘j’, ANK font settings, ETX, BCC

ANK font setting parameter

‘0’:

Prints ANK characters as two-byte fonts.

‘1’:

Prints ANK characters as single-byte fonts.

ANK fonts when the device is sent from the factory are set to be single-byte fonts.
