Paper roll Character commands GS !
Ver. 10.01 p. 151
[Notes]
■ The character size set by this command is effective for alphanumeric, Kana, multilingual, and user-defined
characters.
■ When the characters are enlarged with different heights on one line, all the characters on the line are
aligned at the baseline.
■ When the characters are enlarged widthwise, the characters are enlarged to the right, based on the left
side of the character.
■ ESC ! can also turn double-width and double-height modes on or off.
■ In standard mode, the character is enlarged in the paper feed direction when double-height mode is
selected, and it is enlarged perpendicular to the paper feed direction when double-width mode is selected.
However, when character orientation changes in 90° clockwise rotation mode, the relationship between
double-height and double-width is reversed.
■ In page mode, double-height and double-width are on the character orientation.
■ The setting of the character size of alphanumeric, Katakana, and Thai characters is effective until ESC ! is
executed, ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
■ The setting of the character size of Kanji and multilingual characters (except for Thai) is effective until FS !
is executed, FS W is executed, ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
