ESC X n
Select maximum printing speed
[Code]
[1Bh] + [58h] + n
[Range]
{0 <= n <= 3}
{‘0’ <= n <= ‘3’}
[Outline]
Selects the maximum printing speed according to the value of ‘n’:
0 or ‘0’ about 50 mm/s
1 or ‘1’ about 42 mm/s
2 or ‘2’ about 33 mm/s
3 or ‘3’ about 25 mm/s
These values are approximate. The real maximum speed depends
on the print intensity and the printing head’s temperature.
[Default]
The default value is 0 – maximal printing speed.
ESC Z
Transmits identification string.
[Code]
[1Bh] + [5Ah]
