Craden Peripherals DP8 Printer User Manual


 
Commands unique to I mode:
ESC 0 sets line spacing to 1/8 inch.
ESC 1 sets line spacing to 7/72 inch.
ESC 2 sets line spacing stored by a prior ESC A n.
ESC 3 n sets line spacing to n/216 inch where n is a single binary coded byte.
ESC 5 n sets auto LF if n=1 and resets it if n=0. A line feed is automatically performed when
a CR is received if auto LF is set.
ESC A n stores lines spacing of n/72 inch with n being a single binary coded byte but the
stored line spacing will not begin until it is set by an ESC 2.
VT moves to the next vertical tab stop or does a LF if no tabs are set.
ESC B nnnnn0 sets up to 64 vertical tabs at each line n with each n being a single binary
coded byte and terminating with a 0 byte. ESC B 0 clears all vertical tabs.
ESC R clears all vertical tabs and sets horizontal tabs to default values of column 9 and
every eighth column to the right.
If any document movement command (BS, LF, VT, FF, ESC n, ESC 4, ESC J n or ESC ]) has
been preceded by any printable ASCII characters, they will be printed before the movement
command is executed.
3.10.3 Print Commands
Commands common to both C and I modes:
CR prints all preceding printable ASCII characters. There is no document feed due to
the CR unless auto LF has been set by a ESC 5 01 command and then a LF will be
performed.
SO starts double width print. All characters received after an SO and before a SI, CR,
DC4, CAN, ESC W or feed command will be printed double width.
ESC STX Starts landscape (sideways) print for documents inserted rotated 90° clockwise.
Documents must be fed to the first printable column and 10 or 12 cpi selected
before ESC STX is issued. Following the STX is a single byte specifying the
document height in tenths of an inch. Printing will begin 0.25 inch below that
document height unless optional LF or ESC J feeds follow the document height
byte. Following the optional feeds are rows of printable characters each terminated
by a LF or ESC J. The last printable row must be terminated by an ETX (03 hex).
No commands other than LF or ESC J are allowed prior to the ETX. No more than
24 lines, each of no more than126 characters, may be printed.
ESC E starts bold, double strike print in 10 or 12 character/inch.
ESC F stops bold print.
ESC G starts correspondence quality print.
ESC H stops correspondence quality print.
ESC I n starts correspondence quality print if n=2, normal print if n=0 and draft if n=5. Draft
should not be used on passbooks. DP8 draft print quality may be degraded in the
rightmost column (column 56 @ 10 cpi or column 67 @ 12 cpi).
ESC S 1 starts half-high subscript print
ESC T stops subscript print
ESC W n starts double width print if n=1 and stops it if n=0.
