Automatic line feed

Esc5n (27)(53)n <1Bh><35h>n

EscQ22	(27)(81)(50)(50)	<1Bh><51h><32h><32h>
or
EscQ3	(27)(81)(51)	<1Bh><51h><32h>

•These two commands stop the printer from accepting any data for printing or any control codes until it has received a DC1 code (enable printer).

•The DC3 code (ASCII 19) is not recognised by the printer.

LPRINT CHR$(27); CHR$(81); CHR$(22); 'Disable printer

Change emulation mode

EscCR<mode> (27)(13)mode <1Bh><0Dh>mode

•This command changes the printer emulation mode or performs a reset.

•mode can be ‘E’ (Epson), ‘H’ (LaserJet), ‘I’ (IBM Proprinter XL), 'AB' (BR-Script Batch), 'AI' (BR- Script Interactive), 'GL' (HP-GL) or ‘FD’ (factory default).

•On receiving this command the printer prints any remaining data and performs a page eject (unless the current page is blank). The new emulation mode default settings come into effect, except when the mode is set to ‘FD’.

•If you set the mode to ‘FD’ to reset the printer to its factory default settings, LaserJet mode (the factory default emulation mode) is selected and the LaserJet factory default environment is restored. For a list of the factory default settings see the sub-section “Factory default environment” in Chapter 2 "PCL" of this manual.

•Selecting IBM Proprinter XL emulation with mode = ‘I’ causes the printer to be reset.

LPRINT CHR$(27); CHR$(13); CHR$(69); 'Change to Epson emulation

EscCR!#R (27)(13)(33)#(82) <1Bh><0Dh><21h>#<52h>

•# = 0, restores to the current user setting.

•# = 1, restores to User settings 1.
