Comments:

The following values can be used for n: 4: Mode is turned ON.2:Loads sheet from bin 2.1:Loads sheet from bin 1.R:Ejects a sheet. (No paper is loaded from selected bin.)

0:Mode is turned OFF

The command should not be used unless the automatic sheet feeder is installed. It is ignored if any value other than 0, 1, 2, R, or 4 is used for n. The command can be used to override the SelecType setting.

Sheets are loaded (or changed) by a form feed (FE) command, or by line feeds past the end of the sheet. A normal 1 1-inch page holds 60 lines, the 61st line causes a new sheet to be loaded. Line feeds between the bottom of one page and the top of the next are ignored.

MSB control

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

Esc = (equal)

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 will always be printed. ESC = can overcome this problem.
