Table C-2. Master Select
For example, to print a title, you may want to use double-width 10
pitch characters and print them in double-strike mode. You would add
three numbers together to calculate the value of
n.
10 pitch
0
Double-strike 16
Double-width 32
-
n = 48
After calculating the value of
n,
you would use the Master Select
command to send the value to the printer.
ASCII:
ESC
decimal: 27
hexadecimal:
1B
3!3
408
21
30
The print quality and font must be set separately either using
SelecType or the ESC x and ESC k commands. There are two more
things to take into account when using the Master Select command:
1. Master Select cancels any of the listed features that you do not try to
set. For example, if you have already set a different character width,
and you try to use Master Select to set emphasized double-strike, the
character width is reset to 10 pitch.
2. Proportional overrides 10, 12, and 15 pitch.
