Chapter 3 Configuring The KSSM Emulation With Control Codes

Set Relative Horizontal Print Position

ASCII Code

ESC \ n1 n2

Hex Code

1B 5C n1 n2

Dec Code

27 92 n1 n2

Purpose

Moves the horizontal print position left or right from the current

 

position.

 

For right movement: horizontal position = n2 * 256 + n1.

 

For left movement: horizontal position = 65536 - (n2*256 + n1).

 

Where:

 

0 <= n1 <= 127

 

0 <= n2 <= 255

Comment

The printer ignores this command if the command would move

 

the print position outside the printing area.

 

The default defined unit for this command is according to the

 

current density: 1/120 inch for Near LQ and 1/180 inch for LQ,

 

Normal, Hi-Speed, Super Hi-Speed, and Ultra Hi-Speed.

Set Right Margin

ASCII Code

ESC Q n

Hex Code

1B 51 n

Dec Code

27 81 n

Purpose

Sets the right margin to n columns in the current character

 

pitch, as measured from the left-most printable column.

 

Where:

 

1 <= n <= 255

 

left margin < (current pitch) * n < printable area width

Comment

In DBCS mode, the right margin will be set according to the

 

width of the DBCS character.

 

This command affects the front panel setting of “Right Margin.”

 

The default depends on the power-up configuration.
