Code Sets D-17
Table D-3. AMT Datasouth and Diablo 630 Escape Sequences––continued
Function ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal Description
Text Functions––continued
Start program mode ................. ESC SO M 1B 0E 4D 27 14 77 This sequence starts the Diablo daisywheel program mode. In
this mode, a character follows each printable character code to
define hammer intensity and ribbon feed. If the proportional
mode is on, the second character defines hammer intensity and
PS units.
With the program mode on and the proportional-spacing mode
off, the printer accepts the additional character; however, since
both hammer intensity and ribbon feed are not applicable, the
printer ignores this character.
With both the program and proportional-spacing modes on, the
printer interprets the second character as follows:
Ignores bits 4, 5, and 6 (these define hammer intensity for
daisywheel printers).
Reads the least significant four bits as a binary number to
determine the PS unit value.
For further information on proportional-spacing and PS unit
values, refer to the Proportional Mode sequence.
Wide text printing .................... ESC @ t n 1B 40 74 n 27 64 116 n This sequence enables and disables wide text printing.
Enable .................................. ESC @ t 1 1B 40 74 31 27 64 116 49 With wide text printing on, a wide-carriage printer can print
Disable ................................. ESC @ t 0 1B 40 74 30 27 64 116 48 a 16-inch line and a narrow-carriage printer can print an 11-inch
line. When you disable wide text printing, the leftmost and
rightmost print positions, margins and horizontal tabs return to
their original locations.
With wide text printing enabled, text prints unidirectionally; that
is, text printing occurs only while the carriage moves from left-
to-right across the platen. Also, print speeds are slower than
normal.
This sequence does not affect graphics printing. If you want to
print wide graphics, you must use the Wide Graphics sequence.
)Note: With wide text printing enabled, be sure to load paper in
the printer so that it aligns with the blue line on the paper scale.
This ensures that printing does not run off the left side of the
page.
