Printronix P3000 Series manual Condensed Print, Serial

Condensed Print

	ASCII	Hex	Decimal
P–Series	See Comment.
Serial	SI	0F	15
	ESC SI	1B 0F	27 15
Purpose	Selects 17 characters per inch (cpi) condensed print format.
Comment	Condensed print can be selected using P–Series control code SFCC X or by Serial
	Matrix control code ESC X. Refer to Print Mode/Pitch Selection on page 6–57.
	If 17 cpi is not supported by the currently selected print mode, the SI code is ignored.
	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 ig-
	nored.
Example	The following sample program illustrates condensed character printing and reset.
