ASCII Code ESC X mn		ESC [ n q
Hex Code	1B 58 mn	1B 5B n 71
Dec Code	27 88 mn	27 91 n 113
Purpose	Selects the print mode (Letter Gothic, Courier, or OCR) and
	character pitch in characters per inch (cpi).
where:	In ESC X mn
	m = Print Mode code
	n = Pitch (cpi)
	An asterisk (*) (hex 2A) may be substituted for m or n. Whenever
	the asterisk replaces m or n, then its current value does not
	change. Values other than those shown in Table 23 and Table
	24 are ignored.
where:	In ESC[ n q
	n = Print Mode/Pitch code (values other than those shown in
	Table 22 are ignored.)
	q = Command sequence terminator

NOTE: The print mode must be changed before the first printable symbol of a print line or the command sequence is deferred until the next line.

Comment Print mode and pitch can also be selected from the control panel. The print mode/pitch select control code from the host computer overrides the control panel print mode setting and the print mode and pitch selection are reflected on the message display.

A complete set of tables identifying pitch and dot densities for all print modes follows.
