CHAPTER 6. EPSON FX286-E EMULATION

INTRODUCTION

The FX288-e emulation causes the 5000 printers to emulate a 9-wire dot matrix printer.

Conventions Used in this Chapter

In contrast to ANSI, where an argument is expressed as an ASCII decimal integer, Escape control sequences take binary arguments. For example, the control sequence to set form length in lines is:

ESC C n

The sequence to set a 66-line form, expressed in BASIC, would be: LPRINT CHR$(27);"C";CHR$(66);

which could alternately be expressed as: LPRINT CHR$(27);"CB";

In contrast, when arguments 1 and 0 are used to turn something on and off, you can send the argument in either binary or ASCII. For example, you can turn underline on by sending:

CHR$(27);CHR$(45);CHR$(1); or you can send

CHR$(27);CHR$(45);"1";

The physical spaces in the escape sequences shown in this publication are only for clarification purposes and are not used in the actual string.

If a space is actually needed in the sequence, it will be shown as SP.
