Command

Description

Difference between previous product

 

 

 

and new product emulation mode.

 

 

 

1B 4A n

Print and feed paper

This command uses n in terms of n/360 inches. Since the

 

 

 

A793 had a fundamental step of 1/152 inch and the A799

 

 

 

has a fundamental step of 1/203 inch, the actual line

 

 

 

spacing will not exactly match the requested spacing.

1B 59 n1 n2 d1...dn

Select double-density graphics

In A793 emulation mode, the printer scales the graphics to

 

 

 

provide the best match.

1B 5C n1 n2

Set relative print position

The parameter to this command is in units of dots.

 

 

 

However, the command moves and aligns to character

 

 

 

positions. In A793 emulation mode, this command

 

 

 

calculates how many character positions to move based on

 

 

 

the A793 character width in dots (10) versus the A799 (13).

1B 61 n

Select justification

This command does true dot resolution alignment for

 

 

 

centering versus character-aligned centering.

1D 2A n1 n2 d1...dn]

Define downloaded bit image

In A793 emulation mode, this command scales the

 

 

 

incoming data to provide a best match to the size of

 

 

 

the image as it printed on A793.

1D 2F m

Print downloaded bit image

In A793 emulation mode, this command scales the

 

 

 

incoming data to provide a best match to the size of the

 

 

 

image as it printed on A793.
