Table D-6. Epson and IBM Escape Sequences––continued
Function ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal Description
Graphic Functions––continued
Wide graphics ........................... These sequences enable and disable wide graphics, wherein
Enable .................................. ESC ESC w 1B 1B 77 27 27 119 graphics print up to 16 inches across on wide-carriage
Disable ................................. ESC ESC s 1B 1B 73 27 27 115 printers and up to 11 inches across on narrow-carriage printers.
To print full wide graphics, make sure the current horizontal print
position is 0 before sending the graphics escape sequence.
)Note: Text printing is unaffected by these sequences. To
print wide text, you must use the Wide Text Printing escape
sequence.
Miscellaneous Functions
Set print gap .............................. ESC ESC g 1B 1B 67 27 27 103 This sequence causes the printer to detect the forms thick-ness at
the current print position and to reset the print gap for optimal
print quality. Although the printer sets the print gap
automatically each time a new form is loaded, you can use this
sequence to reset the print gap at any location on the form. This
is useful when printing on multi-thickness forms, such as forms
with peel-off cards or labels.
Park paper................................. ESC ESC p 1B 1B 70 27 27 112 This sequence causes the printer to finish printing the cur-rent
line and then reverse-feed the paper to the parked position. If
pin-feed paper is not loaded when the printer receives this
sequence, the printer ignores the sequence.
Select paper path ...................... ESC ESC l n 1B 1B 6C n 27 27 108 n This sequence selects a paper path for subsequent paper
Top ....................................... ESC ESC l NUL 1B 1B 6C 00 27 27 108 0 feeding. If pin-feed paper is loaded when the printer receives
Rear...................................... ESC ESC l SOH 1B 1B 6C 01 27 27 108 1 this sequence, the printer finishes printing the current line,
Bottom.................................. ESC ESC l STX 1B 1B 6C 02 27 27 108 2 parks the paper, and then switches to the specified paper
Top-mounted tractor ........... ESC ESC l ETX 1B 1B 6C 03 27 27 108 3 path. If a cut sheet is loaded when the printer receives this
sequence, the printer finishes printing the current line, ejects the
cut sheet, and then switches to the specified paper path. If the
sequence specifies the active paper path, the printer ignores the
sequence.
