Print Speed

This command is not supported and is ignored if received.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII
1B 53	27 83	ESC S

Buffered Validate

Opens the platen to allow a form to be inserted. Any data that is received after this command will not be printed until the form is detected. This command enables the Slip/Validation paper feed and disables the Receipt/Journal paper feed.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII
1B 57	27 87	ESC W

Buffer Clear

Clears all print characters and control codes from the buffer. All current settings are maintained. This command does not return the printer to its default condition. The command is processed immediately.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII
1B 60	27 96	ESC ‘

Repeat Character

Repeats any printable characters or control codes up to 255 times. This command is best used to send several Line Feed commands (0A), or to print a single character a certain number of times.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII	Value of c	Value of n
1F c n n n 1F	31 c n n n 31	US c n n n US	Control Code	30-39 Hexadecimal
			or Character	48-57 Decimal
				0-9 (ASCII)

To send 101 Line Feed commands, send the following string:

1F 0A 31 30 31 1F

where 1F starts the command, 0A indicates the Line Feed command, 31 (Hex) equals ASCII 1, 30 (Hex) equals ASCII 0, 31 (Hex) equals ASCII 1 (thus 101 indicates the number of times to repeat the Line Feed command), 1F stops the command.

Print Characteristics Commands

These commands affect the appearance of printed information. They control the following:

·Character set selection

·Character formatting

·Print orientation

The commands are listed numerically by hexadecimal code.

Double-Wide Font

Starts double-wide printing. The pitch of the double-wide font is half of the currently selected font. If the currently selected font is 40 characters per line (13.9 pitch), the double-wide characters will print at 20 characters per line (6.9) lines per inch.

This command may be used with the Double-High command 1B 48.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII
0E	14	SO

Double-Wide Off

Turns off double-wide printing.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII
0F	15	SI
