Appendix C IBM ProPrinter X24 and IBM ProPrinter II Commands
B.2.7.2 Alternate Graphic Mode (AGM) | (ProPrinter X24) |
As well as the graphic modes described in the previous section, the printer can also print Epson
When the Alternate Graphics Mode feature is selected during the SETUP (AGM : YES), the values of command codes ESC 3, ESC J, and ESC A are altered with respect to their standard functions, and the command code ESC * is activated.
•ESC 3 n : Line feed = n/180"
• ESC A n : | Line feed = n/60" |
•ESC J n : One line feed of n/180" (for graphics)
•ESC * m ... : AGM graphics mode
ESC 3 | n | (IBM ProPrinter X24) |
Line Feed - n/180 | Hexadecimal code: 1B 33 n | |
n = 1 - 255 |

If the parameter AGM : NO has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the n/216"
(0,1176 x n mm) line feed;
If the parameter AGM : YES has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the n/180"
(0,141 x n mm) line feed.
This is the line feed recommended for graphic printing (BIM). If programmed to 24/216", it ensures that the various lines in
It remains valid until a new line feed command is received.
To obtain precise line feeds, always use multiples of 3 for parameter n.
ESC A | n | (IBM ProPrinter X24) |
Line Feed - n/60" | Hexadecimal code: 1B 41 n | |
n = 1 - 85 |

If the parameter AGM : NO has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the n/72" (0,3528 x n
mm)line feed; If the parameter AGM : YES has been selected in the SETUP ,it sets the n/60" (0,432 x n mm) line feed.
It will only be executed when the command ESC 2 is received. Until then the current line feed remains valid.
Note: n = 0 does not change the current line feed.
