ITEM SYMBOL Hexadecimal Decimal FUNCTION
[38] ESC K n1 n2 [1B,4B,n1,n2,data] H Prints the 8-pin Standard-density graphic mode(60dpi)
data [27,75,n1,n2,data] D The total number of dots in the data is set by
n1+n2
×
256.
[39] ESC L n1 n2 [1B,4C,n1,n2,data] H Prints the 8-pin Double-density graphic mode(120dpi)
data [27,76,n1,n2,data] D The total number of dots in the data is set by
n1+n2
×
256.
[40] ESC N n [1B,4E,n] H [27,78,n] D Sets bottom margin (1≤n≤255).
n specifies the number of lines not to be printed at the
end of a page.
For example: If the line spacing is 1/6 inch and the page length is 66 lines,
an ESC N 6 command causes the printer to print 60 lines, then skip 6 lines.
The space to be skipped is 1 inch (1/6 inch
x
6).
[41] ESC O [1B,4F] H [27,79] D Cancels the bottom margin set by ESC N.
[42] ESC P n [1B,50] H [27,80] D Sets/cancels proportional mode.
n=0: the proportional mode is cancelled
n=1: the proportional mode is selected
[43] ESC Q n [1B,51,23] H [27,81,35] D Deselects the printer. DC1 selects the printer.
n=23h: the printer is deselected
n
≠
23h: this command is ignored
[44] ESC R [1B,52] H [27,82] D Initializes horizontal tabs to every 8th column
starting from 9th column and clears vertical tabs.
[45] ESC S n [1B,53,n] H [27,83,n] D Sets superscript or subscript character mode.
n=0: the superscript character mode is set
n=1: the subscript character mode is set
[46] ESC T [1B,54] H [27,84] D Cancels super/subscript character mode.
[47] ESC U n [1B,55,n] H [27,85,n] D Sets or cancels unidirectional printing.
n=0: the unidirectional printing is cancelled and the
bidirectional or predirectional is set according
to the setup options
n=1: unidirectional printing is set
[48] ESC W n [1B,57,n] H [27,87,n] D Sets or cancels double width character mode.
n=0: the double width character mode is cancelled
n=1: the double width character mode is set
[49] ESC X n m [1B,5C,n,m] H Sets left and right margins (0≤n<m≤255)
[27,92,n,m] D n: left margin, m: right margin
The print area is between the nth and mth column.
[50] ESC Y n1 n2 [1B,59,n1,n2,data] H Prints 8-pin double-speed double-density graphic
data [27,89,n1,n2,data] D mode (120dpi). The total number of dots in the data is
set by n1+n2
×
256.
[51] ESC Z n1 n2 [1B,5A,n1,n2,data] H Prints 8-pin quadruple-density graphic mode (240dpi).
data [27,90,n1,n2,data] D The total number of dots in the data is set by
n1 + n2
x
256.
[52] ESC [ - n1 n2 [1B,5B,2D,n1,n2,m1,m2] H Sets various line modes.
m1 m2 [27,91,45,n1,n2,m1,m2] D n1=2 and n2=0
m1=01h: Underline is set
m1=02h: Strike-through is set
m1=03h: Overscore is set
m2=00h: line mode at m1 is cancelled
m2=01h: Single line is set
m2=02h: Double line is set
m2=FFh: all line modes are cancelled
