ASCII Code ESC S n

Hex Code

1B 53 n

Dec Code

27 83 n

Purpose

Selects superscript or subscript printing.

where:

n = NUL (hex 00) or 0 (hex 30) to enable superscript printing

 

n = SOH (hex 01) or 1 (hex 31) to enable subscript printing

Comment Superscript/Subscript font prints at one-half the normal vertical character height and at twice the normal vertical density. When the superscript/ subscript control code is received, all characters are superscript or subscript until reset by the superscript/ subscript reset control code or printer reset. Emphasized print is ignored in the superscript/subscript print mode.

You can print both superscript and subscript characters in the same character column by using the Backspace (BS) control code, but these characters do not print when double high printing is in effect.

If Superscript/Subscript is combined with Double High (ESC w) printing, only Double High printing occurs.
