Function Turn ON/OFF Double-Strike Mode
ASCII [ESC] G <n>
Hexadecimal 1BH 47H <n>
Decimal <27> <71> <n>
Range 0 n 255
Description The [ESC] G <n> command turns on or off double-strike mode. When the least
significant bit (LSB) of <n> = 1, double-strike mode is turned on; when it is 0,
double-strike mode is turned off. The default setting is <n> = 0. Double-strike
and emphasized printing appear the same.

Hexadecimal 1BH 7BH <n>
Decimal <27> <123> <n>
Range 0 n 255
Description The [ESC] { <n> turns on or off upside-down printing mode. When the least
significant bit of <n> = 1, upside-down printing mode is turned on; when it is 0,
upside-down printing mode is turned off. The default setting is <n> = 0. When
upside-down mode is turned on, the printer prints 180 rotated characters from
right to left. The line printing order is not reversed, so the order of the data
transmitted is important. The command is enabled only when input at the
beginning of a line.

command is only enabled in standard mode. In page mode, an internal flag is
activated, and the command is enabled when the printer returns to standard
mode.
