Most printer commands consist of the escape code followed by one or more letters or numbers. Some examples are:

<ESC>Wl Double-width characters

<ESC>WO Normal width

<ESC>4 Italic

<ESC>5 Upright

Two lines with these commands embedded are shown below, together with the printed result.

Printout:

PRINTERCOMMANDS

can help you to use italic print.

You will probably not see the symbol < ESC > on the screen, but a different symbol such as * E or, A[ or perhaps no symbol at all. This depends on your software.

After printing the first page of a long job, you may want to pause to check that the printing is correctly formatted. Press the On Line switch, setting the printer off-line. Printing will stop immediately. To resume printing, press the On Line switch again.

If you need to abandon a printing job before it is finished, your software should provide a command for this purpose. Another simple expedient is to switch the printer’s power off.
