0:Mode is turned OFF.

The variables are the characters “0” (48 decimal) and “4” (52 decimal).

The command should not be used unless the cut sheet feeder is installed. It is ignored if any value other than “0” or “4” is used for n. The mode can also be turned on or off with DIP switch 2-2.

MSB control

Note: MSB is the Most Significant Bit. MSB control (ESC =, ESC >, and ESC #) is not valid for graphics or user-defined characters.

ESC = (equal)

Decimal: 27 61

Comments:

Sets the MSB of all incoming data to 0. Some computers always send data with the MSB set to 1, which means that italics or character graphics are always printed. ESC = can overcome this problem.
