Select Or Cancel White/Black Reverse Print Mode

Turns on White/Black reverse printing mode. In White/Black reverse printing mode, print dots and non-print dots are reversed, which means that white characters are printed on a black background. When the White/Black reverse printing mode is selected it is also applied to character spacing which is set by Right-Side Character Spacing (ESC SP).

This command can be used with built-in characters and user-defined characters, but does not affect the space between lines.

White/Black Reverse Print Mode does not affect bit image, downloaded bit image, bar code, HRI characters, and spacing skipped by Horizontal Tab (HT), Set Absolute Starting Position (ESC $), and Set Relative Print Position (ESC \).
