Hexadecimal | 1D 81 m n |

Decimal | 29 129 m n |

Value of m: | 0 | = monochrome (black) paper | (Kanzaki P310) |
| 1 | = | (Kanzaki P310RB) |
| 4 | = | (Kanzaki P320BB) |
| 5 | = | (Kanzaki P320RB) |
Default: | 0 | (monochrome paper) |

This command will set the optimum parameter values in the thermal print engine control hardware for defined monochrome or

When issuing this command a value of n = OxFF can always be used; that is interpreted as requesting the setting of the highest version defined in the printer of that category. This is a safe way for an application to always select the latest of a manufacturer’s paper category, thus choosing “latest standard red/black”.

The following list clarifies how the A799 printer will behave in each emulation mode:
•If the paper type is changed using the 0x1D 0x81 command, the font and default lines per inch (LPI) will be setup as in the table below.
•If only the font is changed, the default LPI will automatically be changed as in the table below.
•If emulation is switched to LEGACY, A794 or A793 emulation(s), the paper type will automatically be changed to monochrome paper, and the font and LPI will be changed as in the table on next page.
•If emulation is switched from any emulation to A799 native, the font and LPI will remain unchanged because the A799 native mode supports all font and LPI options offered in the emulation modes.
•The “Set Default LPI” option in the configuration menu is not offered in LEGACY emulation mode. The LPI is set at 6.00.
