Epson LQ-1010 LPRINT CHR$(27);“p”;“1”, Using the Command Summary, LPRINT CHR$(27);"W";CHR$(l), LPRINT CHR$(27);“p”;CHR$(1), LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(87);CHR$(1)

Using the Command Summary

The simplest type of command consists of a single character to be sent to the printer. For instance, to print in condensed mode, the code format is:

A S C I I c o d e : S I

Decimal: 15

Hexadecimal: OF

This code can be sent from a program by sending the code 15 directly.

More complex commands consist of two or more character codes. For example, to print in double-wide mode, the code format is the following:

ASCII code:	ESC	W	n
Decimal:	27	87	n
Hexadecimal:	1B	57	n

In this case n can be either 1 (on) or 0 (off), to begin or end double-wide printing. You can use either of the following commands to turn on double-wide print from BASIC:

LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(87);CHR$(1)LPRINT CHR$(27);"W";CHR$(l)

For the following commands that use only 0 or 1 for the variable, either the decimal or hexadecimal values 1 and 0 or the ASCII characters 1 and 0 can be used:

ESC U, ESC x, ESC p, ESC W, ESC S, ESC-, and ESC %

For example, in BASIC you can turn on proportional spacing with either of these statements:

LPRINT CHR$(27);“p”;CHR$(1)LPRINT CHR$(27);“p”;“1”
