Condensed Print

Example The following example illustrates international character selection using the IBM PC character set.

Condensed Print

ASCII Code SI		ESC SI
Hex Code	0F	1B 0F
Dec Code	15	27 15
Purpose	Selects 17 characters per inch (cpi) condensed print format.
Comment	Condensed print can also be selected using control code ESC X.
	See “Print Mode/Pitch Selection” on page 104.
	The Serial Matrix condensed print control code SI affects all
	subsequent characters. After receiving code SI, all characters
	are printed in condensed print until reset by ESC M, ESC P, the
	condensed print reset control code DC2, printer reset, or a new
	print mode control code. The Serial Matrix SI code (hex 0F) is
	equivalent to the ESC SI code. If condensed print is not allowed
	in the current print mode, the code is ignored.
Example	The following sample illustrates condensed character printing
	and reset.

Condensed Print Reset

ASCII Code DC2

Hex Code 12

Dec Code 18

Purpose Resets condensed character printing to 10 cpi.

Comment The condensed print reset control code selects 10 cpi character pitch. Other print attributes are not affected.

Other control code sequences which cancel condensed print are ESC M, ESC P, ESC @, or a new print mode control code.
