Monochrome shade mode (ColorPOS®)

ASCII	GS 0x86 m
Hexadecimal	1D 86 m
Decimal	29 134 m

This applies a selected shade density to all monochrome objects such as text and monochrome logos. The parameter m specifies the shading effect and has an initial value of 0 which signifies no effect.

m specifies the percentage of shading, 0 <= m <= 100.

m = 0 is the initial value and turns this mode off.

Note: that only a few gradations will be perceptible, so large increments of m, such as 20, should be used. If a reverse print mode is on, the shade effect will be applied to the background only.

When the current color mode is set to black, increasing values of m relate to the relative amount of (white) paper that replaces black dots. Analogously, when the paper-color is the current color, m defines the relative amount of color dots being “erased” by white originals of the paper.

Both text and monochrome graphics are affected by this command.

Turning monochrome shade mode on, turns color shade mode off.

Color shade mode (ColorPOS®)

ASCII	GS 0x87 m
Hexadecimal	1D 87 m
Decimal	29 135 m

This applies a mixing of color into any monochrome objects such as text and monochrome logos. Rather than fading away, this mode transitions a character or logo from the current color in which it would normally be printed to the other color. The parameter m specifies the shading effect and has an initial value of 0 which signifies no effectm. specifies the percentage of shading, 0 <= m <= 100.

m specifies the percentage of shading, 0 <= m <= 100.

m = 0 is the initial value and turns this mode off.

Note: Only a few gradations will be perceptible, so large increments of m, such as 20, should be used. If a reverse print mode is on, the shade effect will be applied to the background only.

When the current color mode is set to black, increasing values of m relate to the relative amount of paper-color that replaces black dots. Analogously, when the paper-color is the current color, m defines the relative amount of black color dots replacing the paper-color ones.

Both text and monochrome graphics are affected by this command.

Turning color shade mode on, turns monochrome shade mode off.
