Star Micronics XB24-10 Miscellaneous codes, Set 24-dot hex-density, Both, Redefine bit-image mode

Set 24-dot hex-density						Both
<FS>	Z	cnib	cd>		. . .	40
1 1Ch	5Ah	cno>	orl>	<dQ,	. . .	cdn> 1
28	90	cno>	cd>	<do>	. . .	<do

The command above selects 24-dot hex-density bit-image printing, where cno> and cd> are binary values (low byte first) representing the number of data bytes following the command. The data bytes are represented by <do> . . . <dn>. This command has the same affect as cESQ * 40.

1 Redefine bit-image mode		Both	1
1 cESC>	?	ad>	I
1Bh	3Fh	Cd>
27	63	cd>

The command above redefines a bit-image mode to another mode, where one> is the mode to be redefined. This may take the ASCII values “K”, “‘L”,“Y” or ‘Z”. cd> is a binary value representing the mode to which cmo> is redefined, being a value used after the cESC> * command (0 through 7,32,33 or 38 through 40). If any of the modes represented by one> are subsequently selected, bit-image printing will now take place in the mode as defined by cd >.

Miscellaneous codes

The following commands do not relate specifically to graphics, but have more general applications:

Set MSB to 1 Both

cESC>>

1Bh3Eh

2762

The command above sets the MSB to 1. There are no parameters. On receipt of this command, the most significant bit (MSB) of subsequent data will always be set to 1.
