Revision D 12/09Chapter 4: Programming Commands 39
Set current color
ASCII | ESC r m |
Hexadecimal | 1B 72 m |
Decimal | 27 114 m |
Default of m: | 0 (monochrome) |
This command will set the current color to the color m for all character data that may follow this command and all graphic objects (bit images) that have not been explicitly loaded as
m = 0 (monochrome) is the initial value
m = 1
The m values 0 and 1 will not have a distinguishable effect; 0 is the initial value and provides parameter value consistency with other commands.
Description
When the monochrome paper type command (0 0) is set, this command is recognized and retained, but has no effect. The monochrome paper selection (usually black) controls the output.
When
Exceptions
After a power loss or reset the default value m = 0 is reset.
Select cut mode and cut paper
ASCII | GS V m | GS V m n |
Hexadecimal | 1D 56 m | 1D 56 m n |
Decimal | 29 86 m | 29 86 m n |
Value of m: | Selects the mode as shown in the table. | |
Value of n: | Determines cutting position only if m is 65 or 66. | |
mFeed and cut mode 0, 48 Full cut (no extra feed)
1, 49 Partial cut (no extra feed)
65 Feeds paper to cutting position + (n times vertical motion unit), and cuts the paper completely
66 Feeds paper to cutting position + (n times vertical motion unit), and performs a partial cut
Range of m: | 0, 48; 1, 49 |
| 65, 66 (when used with n) |
Range of n: | 0 – 255 |
Default of m, n: 0
Selects a mode for cutting paper and cuts the paper. There are two formats for this command, one requiring one parameter m, the other requiring two parameters m and n. The format is indicated by the parameter m.
Formulas
n times the vertical motion unit is used to determine the cutting position to which the paper is fed.
