Function ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal Description
Start double-wide print- ... SO 0E or 8E 14 or 142 This code starts double-wide printing on the current line
ing for one line and doubles the character spacing to accommodate the
wider characters. A DC4 code or any control code or
escape sequence that causes paper movement ends
double-wide printing and resumes normal character
spacing. The Start/End Double-Wide Printing
sequence also ends double-wide printing.
Start condensed printing ... SI 0F or 8F 15 or 143 This code starts condensed printing, wherein character
spacing and character cell size are 17.1 characters per
inch. A DC2 code ends condensed printing.
Enable printing/X-ON ....... DC1 11 or 91 17 or 145 This code enables printing. If printing is already enabled,
the printer ignores this code. Also, when the X-ON/
X-OFF serial handshake is in use, the printer returns this
code during power-up, reset, and after returning a DC3
(X-OFF) code when it can receive more data.
End condensed printing .... DC2 12 or 92 18 or 146 This code ends condensed printing and sets character
spacing and character cell size to 10 characters per inch.
Disable printing/X-OFF .... DC3 13 or 93 19 or 147 This code disables printing until the printer receives a DC1
code or the operator presses the Ready button on the
control panel. While printing is disabled, the PAUSE
message appears on the control panel. Also, when the
X-ON/X-OFF serial handshake is in use, the printer
returns this code when it is unable to receive more data.
End double-wide print- ..... DC4 14 or 94 20 or 148 This code ends double-wide printing started with an SO
ing on current line code and resumes normal character spacing. This code
does not end double-wide printing started with escape
sequences.
Cancel ................................. CAN 18 or 98 24 or 152 This code cancels the printing of all text on the current
line, but does not affect the control codes.
Escape ................................ ESC 1B or 9B 27 or 155 This code begins an escape sequence.
Space .................................. SP 20 32 This code moves the current print position one character
space to the right.
Delete .................................. DEL 7F or FF 127 or 255 When this code follows a character code, the printer
ignores the character code; otherwise, the printer ignores
the delete code.
