Epson LQ-800 Printer User Manual


 
Notice that you must use a lowercase p, not a capital P, for this
mode. The next section describes Master Select, which includes
another method for turning proportional on and off.
Master Select
The LQ has a special: ESCape code called Master Select that allows
you to choose many possible combinations of nine different modes:
pica, elite, proportional, condensed, emphasized, double-strike, dou-
ble-width, italic, and underline. The format of the Master Select code
is ESCape ‘!” followed by a number that is calculated by adding
together the values of the modes listed below:
underline
italic
double-width
double-strike
emphasized
condensed
proportional

For many combinations, just add up the values of each of the modes
you want and use the total as the number after ESCape “!“. For exam-
ple, to calculate the code for expanded underlined pica, add the fol-
lowing numbers together:
