Appendix B IBM ProPrinter X24 and IBM ProPrinter II Commands
ESC J | n | (IBM ProPrinter X24) |
One line feed of n/180" (for graphics) | Hexadecimal code: 1B 4A n | |
n = 1 - 255 |
| |
Prints the buffer and feeds the paper line feed.If the parameter AGM : NO has been
selected in the SETUP , the paper line feeds by n/216"; If the parameter AGM : YES has been selected in the SETUP , the paper line feeds by n/180".
It also executes a carriage return, if the parameter LF + CR : YES has been selected in the SETUP.
The value of n must be a multiple of 3 (minimum line feed). In
ESC * m n1 n2 AGM | (IBM ProPrinter X24) |
Select Alternate Graphics Mode (AGM) | Hexadecimal code: 1B 2A m n1 n2 ... |
Allows the selection of 8 or
Parameter m defines the type of graphic printing resolution according to the following table:
m | Horizontal Resolution | Needles used | Notes |
0 | 60 | 8 | same as ESC K |
1 | 120 | 8 | same as ESC L |
2 | 120 | 8 | same as ESC Y |
3 | 240 | 8 | same as ESC Z |
4 | 80 | 8 | CRT I |
6 | 90 | 8 | CRT II |
32 | 60 | 24 | ESC K, high resolution |
33 | 120 | 24 | ESC L, high resolution |
38 | 90 | 24 | CRT III |
39 | 180 | 24 | Triple density high resolution |
40 | 360 | 24 | Sextuple density high resolution |
Parameters n1 and n2 give the amount of graphic data plus 1 (calculations as for other BIM commands).
Normal and high resolution graphics modes (8 and 24 needles respectively) have the same corresponding bit/needle relationships as those described for the standard graphics mode (see previous section).
The vertical dot density is 1/180 in.
Example: box 8x8 dots with center point 2x2 dots, standard density, 8 dots / column hex: 1B 2A 00 08 00 FF 81 81 99 99 81 81 FF
