Printronix MVP Series Control Code Sequence, Characters Per Line/Mode/Configuration Option, 22.0

Control Code Sequence

The printer will not return to the previous mode when a line with a mode change is printed. The printer will always remain in the new mode until another mode is specified. Cycling the printer power will restore the default mode (Configuration Option 30); however, this mode may not be the same mode prior to power cycling.

When you include the mode change control code sequence after the number of characters (see Table 7–8), the automatic line feed is used from the original mode (or the last mode specified within that number of characters), and the new mode change affects only the characters after the line feed. The effected characters are automatically wrapped around (start a new line) and are printed in the new mode.

Table 7–8. Characters Per Line/Mode/Configuration Option

		Characters Per Line/Configuration Option
Mode		22.1		22.2	22.3	22.4
	22.0
1	132		132	104	80	80
2	132		132	104	80	80
3	165		165	132	100	80
4	159		132	132	132	80
5	176		132	132	132	80

NOTE: When using Configuration Option 22.0, an automatic line feed is not inserted. The numbers given are the maximum number of characters that can fit in a line in that mode. Additional characters above the listed numbers overprint the beginning of the line; however, there is one special case. A line feed will be inserted after 176 characters in Mode 5 because that is the limit of the printer input buffer.
