Chapter 2. ANSI Emulation GEK-00029B
60
OVERSIZE CHARACTER FONT
The oversize font is composed of special block-style characters that
can be expanded 156 times the size of standard fonts. This will
produce letters up to 15.25-inches (388mm) high by 13 inches
(330mm) wide. Oversize characters can be rotated 90, 180, or 270
degrees.
Do not confuse oversize characters with expanded characters. The
expanded character feature, (standard in your printer), expands all
existing fonts up to 8 times the normal size. These characters are not
rotatable.
The oversize character feature works with the ANSI protocol.
Entering and Exiting Oversize
The following sequences are used to enter, rotate, and exit oversize
printing:
ESC [ 0 | Exit oversize printing.
ESC [ 1 | Select oversize font with no rotation.
ESC [ 2 | Select oversize font with 90-degree rotation.
ESC [ 3 | Select oversize font with 180-degree rotation.
ESC [ 4 | Select oversize font with 270-degree rotation.
LPRINT CHR$(27);"[0|
";
or
LPRINT CHR$(27);"[0|";CHR$(124);
Once oversize has been turned on, it will remain on until an
ESC [ 0 | sequence is used to turned it off. It does not turn off due to
line terminators (CR and LF).
