DC2 |
|
|
10 cpi (Pica) |
| Hexadecimal code: 12 |
Cancels the print pitches set using SI and ESC :, restoring 10 cpi. It does not cancel Double width.
ESC :
12 cpi (Elite) | Hexadecimal code: 1B 3A |
Sets 12 characters per inch starting from the current position.
Cancelled by DC2, which restores 10 cpi (Pica).
ESC P n
Proportional Spacing | Hexadecimal code: 1B 50 n |
Selects printing with proportional spacing.
In this way, the print pitch changes from one character to another, according to their width. Proportional spacing is canceled by any command that changes the print pitch. Parameter n may be set to the following values:
n = 1 (1 or 49)D : sets proportional spacing
n= 0 (0 or 48)D : cancels proportional spacing
Note: Takes priority over a different setting made on the operator console.
