IBM 1xR Printer User Manual


 
Default:
n=00
Purpose:
To enable half-character or full-character color printing, or to disable color
printing.
Remarks:
v You can enable and disable full-character color printing within a print
line. This enables you to print one word in a different color.
v This command can be used up to 8 times in a line when full-character
color printing is used.
v Half-character color printing is only supported at the beginning of a
print line.
v If both bit 1 and bit 0 of n are set (n=03), only half-character color
printing will be enabled.
v This command is only valid if the Enable Color Printing command is
sent first. When color paper is enabled, the printer is limited to printing
at 15 LPS when printing 8 LPI.
Limitations:
v This command is only valid if Color Printing is enabled (see “Select
thermal paper” on page 55).
v When color paper is enabled, depending on the paper, the printer might
be limited to printing at 15 lps when printing 8 lpi.
Set line spacing using minimum units
Syntax:
ESC 3 n or X'1B33;n'
Where:
n Specifies line-feed steps.
In the customer receipt station, 1 inch = 204 steps and 1 mm = 8
steps. Thermal must be an even number.
In the document portrait station, 1 inch = 51 steps and 1 mm = 2
steps.
In the document landscape station, 1 inch = 127 steps and 1 mm =
5 steps.
This command should be sent after “Set print station parameters”
on page 43.
Set sheet eject length
Syntax:
ESC C n or X'1B43;n'
Where:
n Specifies the number of line feed steps using minimum units
moved when a FF is sent in the receipt station.
In the document station, an eject will feed until the document has
exited the lower document sensors - this length is not used.
