Command Summary for LQ/FX Emulation

ESC w

This command produces double-height characters, but differs operationally in the following ways:

LQ mode-If you send the ESC w command when the print position is set at the first line of the logical page, LQ series printers will only print the bottom half of each character. The EPI-4000 prints the entire character when you are printing on single sheets. If you are printing on continuous paper, the EPI-4000 does not print.

FX mode-When you combine this command with ESC W to produce double-width, double-height characters, FX series printers do not increase the stroke weight for vertical lines. In FX emulation mode, the EPI-4000 does increase the vertical line weight.

ESC S0, ESC Sl, ESC w, ESC -

When you print on continuous paper, the characters described below cannot be printed:

•Superscript characters and double-height characters on the first line of the logical page

•Subscript characters and underlined characters on the last line of the logical page.

ESC C, ESC C0

When you send the ESC C or ESC C 0 command to change the page length on LQ or FX printers, you can print more than one page on the same sheet of continuous paper. Because the EPI-4000 processes data page-by-page, each page must be printed on a separate sheet of paper, so exact LQ or FX emulation cannot be provided. Problems will occur when the page length set with the ESC C or ESC C0 command differs from the actual page length.
