H Uni-directional printing

Uni-directional printing means printing in one direction only. Your printer normally prints when the printhead is moving in both directions. But once in a while you may have an application such as making tables where you are more concerned with how the vertical lines align than with how fast it prints. The printer lets you make this choice. The table below

shows the commands for controlling how the printer prints.

-

			Table 6-2
			Printing direction	commands
			Function		Control code
Print	in	one	direction	<ESC>	“U”	1
Print	in	both	directions	< ESC >	“U”	0
One	time	print in one direction		<ESC>	“<”

Try this program to see the difference that printing in one

direction makes.
