[14] ESC EM n [1B,19,n] H [27,25,n] D Control cut sheet feeder.
n=1: selects bin 1
n=2: selects bin 2
n=R: ejects single sheet paper loaded in the priner
This command is effective at the following conditions.
The paper select lever is set to the single sheet setting.
#49 CSF OPTION is set to SINGLE or DOUBLE.
[15] ESC *m n1 n2 [1B,2A,m,n1,n2] H Sets various graphic modes.
[27,42,m,n1,n2] D This command is effective only when AGM mode is
set to ON in the extended setup options.
Note (
*): Horizontal adjacent dots can not be printed.
The total column number is calculated by n1+n2 × 256 for 8-pin graphics and
(n1+n2×256) x 3 for 24-pin graphics.
Each bit data in the 8-pin graphics corresponds to 2 print pins of the print head.
The following figure shows one column of data and its corresponding print position.
[16] ESC – n [1B,2D,n] H [27,45,n] D Sets or cancels underline mode.
n=0: underline is cancelled.
n=1: underline is set.
[17] ESC 0 [1B,30] H [27,48] D Sets line spacing to 1/8".
[18] ESC 1 [1B,31] H [27,49] D Sets line spacing to 7/72".
[19] ESC 2 [1B,32] H [27,50] D Linefeeds with the line spacing set by ESC A.
[20] ESC 3 n [1B,33,n] H [27,51,n] D Sets line spacing in the basic spacing set by ESC [ \.
The default is n/216" (1n255) in standard mode
or n/180" (0n255) in AGM mode.
