Individual graphics options commands
As previously mentioned, the LQ-2500 responds to commands that
are also used by Epson FX and RX series printers. There are four
individual graphics options commands that are very similar to the
ESCape “*” command, but each one works for only one graphics
option. All these commands are for eight-pin graphics. Note that these
commands contain one less variable than the ESCape “*” command
because they don’t need to select a graphics option. They are shown in
Table 6-2.
Table 62. individual graphics options commands
Reassigning command
The LQ has a command that allows you to change the graphics
option assigned to any of the four individual graphics options
commands. The command is:
ESCape “?. s m
The letter s represents the command that you wish to change the
assignment for (K, L, Y, or Z) and
m
is the number of the graphics
option (from Table 6-1) that you want to assign to it. For example, to
change the E5Cape ‘K” command to use the CRT I screen graphics
option, the command in BASIC is:
LPRINT CHR$(27)"?";"i("CHR$(I*)
