Paper roll Character commands GS ! Ver. 10.0 1 p. 151
[Notes] The character size set by this command is effective for alphanumeric, Kana, multilingual, and user-defined
characters.
When the characters are enlarged with different heights on one line, all the characters on the line are
aligned at the baseline.
When the characters are enlarged widthwise, the characters are enlarged to the right, based on the left
side of the character.
ESC ! can also turn double-width and double-height modes on or off.
In standard mode, the character is enlarged in the paper feed direction when double-height mode is
selected, and it is enlarged perpendicular to the paper feed direction when double-width mode is selected.
However, when character orientation changes in 90° clockwise rotation mode, the relationship between
double-height and double-width is reversed.
In page mode, double-height and double-width are on the character orientation.
The setting of the character size of alphanumeric, Katakana, and Thai characters is effective until ESC ! is
executed, ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
The setting of the character size of Kanji and multilingual characters (except for Thai) is effective until FS !
is executed, FS W is executed, ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
[Model-dependent variations] None
