64.(1B, 55, n)H (27, 85, n)D, (9B, D5, n)H (155, 213, n)D

This code selects unidirectional printing from the left to the right. Graphic mode is also printed unidirectionally.

n = (01)H or (31)H Selects unidirectional printingn = (00)H or (30)H Selects bidirectional logic seeking printing

When power is turned on, or when the RESET switch is pressed, the bidirectional printing is selected. This function can also be selected by operating switches. If the

FFswitch is pressed in the ON-LINE state, the unidirectional printing is selected after buzzing for 0.1 second. If the LF switch is pressed in the ON-LINE state, the bidirec- tional printing is selected after 0.1 second of sounding the buzzer.

Paper-Out Sensor On/Off Commands

65. (1B, 38)H (27, 56)D

This code turns the paper-out sensor off and allows you to print to the bottom of single sheets of paper.

66. (1B, 39)H (17, 57)D

This code turns the paper-out sensor on so that it will report when the printer runs out of paper. This is the default condition.
