Commands unique to I mode:

ESC 0

sets line spacing to 1/8 inch.

ESC 1

sets line spacing to 7/72 inch.

ESC 2

sets line spacing stored by a prior ESC A n.

ESC 3 n

sets line spacing to n/216 inch where n is a single binary coded byte.

ESC 5 n

sets auto LF if n=1 and resets it if n=0. A line feed is automatically performed when

 

a CR is received if auto LF is set.

ESC A n

stores lines spacing of n/72 inch with n being a single binary coded byte but the

 

stored line spacing will not begin until it is set by an ESC 2.

VT

moves to the next vertical tab stop or does a LF if no tabs are set.

ESC B

nnnnn0 sets up to 64 vertical tabs at each line n with each n being a single binary

 

coded byte and terminating with a 0 byte. ESC B 0 clears all vertical tabs.

ESC R

clears all vertical tabs and sets horizontal tabs to default values of column 9 and

 

every eighth column to the right.

If any document movement command (BS, LF, VT, FF, ESC n, ESC 4, ESC J n or ESC ]) has been preceded by any printable ASCII characters, they will be printed before the movement command is executed.

3.10.3 Print Commands

Commands common to both C and I modes:

CR

prints all preceding printable ASCII characters. There is no document feed due to

 

the CR unless auto LF has been set by a ESC 5 01 command and then a LF will be

 

performed.

SO

starts double width print. All characters received after an SO and before a SI, CR,

 

DC4, CAN, ESC W or feed command will be printed double width.

ESC STX Starts landscape (sideways) print for documents inserted rotated 90° clockwise. Documents must be fed to the first printable column and 10 or 12 cpi selected before ESC STX is issued. Following the STX is a single byte specifying the document height in tenths of an inch. Printing will begin 0.25 inch below that document height unless optional LF or ESC J feeds follow the document height byte. Following the optional feeds are rows of printable characters each terminated by a LF or ESC J. The last printable row must be terminated by an ETX (03 hex). No commands other than LF or ESC J are allowed prior to the ETX. No more than 24 lines, each of no more than126 characters, may be printed.

ESC E starts bold, double strike print in 10 or 12 character/inch. ESC F stops bold print.

ESC G starts correspondence quality print. ESC H stops correspondence quality print.

ESC I n starts correspondence quality print if n=2, normal print if n=0 and draft if n=5. Draft should not be used on passbooks. DP8 draft print quality may be degraded in the rightmost column (column 56 @ 10 cpi or column 67 @ 12 cpi).

ESC S 1 starts half-high subscript print ESC T stops subscript print

ESC W n starts double width print if n=1 and stops it if n=0.
