Print Mode/Pitch Selection

ASCII Code SFCC X mn		SFCC [ n q	SFCC PMODE;n
Hex Code	SFCC 58 mn	SFCC 5B n 71
Dec Code	SFCC 88 mn	SFCC 91 n 113
Purpose	Selects the print mode (Letter Gothic, Courier, or OCR) and
	character pitch in characters per inch (cpi).
where:	In SFCC PMODE;n
	n ranges from 0 through 6 to select the print mode/pitch
	combinations available from Table 8. All other values result in an
	error message. (Command Line Error Messages are listed in
	Table 2 on page 27.)
where:	In SFCC 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, its current value does not change.
	Values other than those shown in Table 10 and Table 11 are
	ignored.
where:	In SFCC[ n q
	n = Print Mode/Pitch code (values other than those shown in
	Table 9 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 P-Series PMODE switches to the Primary Character Set and selects print mode and pitch.

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.
