Description ➊ When the printer receives this code, the data will be printed approx. 40% smaller than in normal mode. Condensed print mode can be used in all print qualities. It can be used during printing in the double strike or bold modes. Once set, this code remains ef- fective until it is reset by code DC2.
➋When the printer receives this code, the condensed print mode is reset.
This code is ignored except when the printer has been set to condensed mode by SI or ESC SI.
Proportionally spaced characters cannot be condensed.
