Input Data Format

(24)Specifying/Clearing double strike characters (ESC G n)

Code: [1B] h + [47] h + n

* (0 n FF) Data are expressed in Hex code.

This command specifies and clears double strike characters.

The least significant bit (n0) in n is valid.

Control by the least significant bit (n0) is as follows.

n0 = 0: Clears double strike characters.

n0 = 1: Specifies double strike characters.

In this printer, the effects of double strike printing are the same as those of bold printing.

(25)Printing and paper feeding (ESC J n)

Code: [1B] h + [4A] h + n

* (0 n FF) Data are expressed in Hex code.

This command prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper [n x basic calcu- lation pitch] inches.

After execution, the top of the line becomes the next print position.

This has no influence on the line feed amount set by ESC 2 or ESC 3.

The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.

If there is a fraction as a result of calculations, interpolation is carried out at the mechanism's minimum pitch. Remainders are cut off.

In the Standard mode, the basic calculation pitch (y) for the vertical direction is used.

If used in the Page mode, movement from the starting point is as follows.

(1)If the starting point is specified as “top left” or “bottom right” by ESC T, the printing position is moved in the paper feed direction (the vertical direction of the characters). At this time, the vertical basic calculation pitch (y) is used.

(2)If the starting point is specified as “top right” or “bottom left” by ESC T, the printing position is moved in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction (the vertical direction of the characters). At this time, the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x) is used.

If [n x basic calculation pitch] exceeds 40 inches, the 40 inch portion of the paper feed is executed.
