LQ and FX Emulation Command Summary
This section lists the control codes and escape sequences supported
in the LQ and FX emulation modes. Some LQ and FX printer codes
are not available, either because the functions are not required
(such as draft printing) or are not possible because of the different
technologies used in these printers.
The following commands are either not available or are ignored in
LQ or FX emulation mode:
ESC <
Unidirectional mode (one line)
ESC 8
Disable paper end detector
ESC 9 Enable paper end detector
ESC U Select print direction
ESC s Set/cancel half-speed printing
ESC r Select color printing
ESC i
Incremental view
The following commands are available in FX mode but not in LQ
mode:
ESC 1
7/72-inch line feed
ESC *
Select 9-pin graphics mode
ESC I
Select character code table
The printer commands listed below function in a slightly different
way when used in LQ or FX emulation mode. Also, many of the
commands that control the print position use approximations
because of the difference in print density between the LQ and FX
printers.
ESC G / ESC E
These commands produce identical bolding effects on your printer.
On an actual LQ series printer, these two commands create slightly
different effects and can be combined to produce darker characters.
