Chapter 7 Print Control Codes

(53)Specifying/Clearing Black/White reverse printing (GS B n)

Code: [1D] h + [42] h + n

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

This command specifies or clears printing of black/white reversed characters.

In n, the least significant bit (n0) becomes enabled. The least significant bit (n0) is as follows.

n0 = 0: Clears printing of black/white reversed characters.

n0 = 1: Specifies printing of black/white reversed characters.

Internal characters and downloaded characters can be printed as black/white re- versed characters.

The space to the right of characters, set by ESC SP, is also the object of black/ white reversed printing.

Bit images, downloaded bit images, bar codes, HRI characters and portions skipped due to HT, ESC $, ESC ( are not influenced.

Spaces between lines are not influenced.

Specification of black/white reversed printing has priority over underline specifi- cations. Therefore, underlines are not added to black/white reversed characters, even when underline is specified. However, the underline setting state does not change.

The initial value is “n0 = 0”.
