Epson 8900 Series manual Color Printing, Print Oversize Character

Print Oversize Character

Escape sequence:	ESC	DLE	C	C	text	ETX
Hexadecimal:	1B	10	43	43	text	03

This command prints the text contained within the command using the horizontal and vertical scale factors selected by the Set Oversize Characters command. The text variable is the character string to be printed in oversize characters.

You can use a maximum of 200 characters in a text string; excess characters are treated as normal characters, and the command is limited to printing from the logical start position to the logical end position of a single line of text. Text extending beyond the end of the line is truncated at the logical end position.

Because the ETX control character is used as the command sequence delimiter, if your text string requires an ETX character you must use two consecutive ETX characters within the text string to be recognized.

The printer uses the bit patterns dictated by the print quality selected; draft quality bit patterns in draft mode, text quality bit patterns in text and quality modes.
