Description ➊This code sequence switches the printer to superscript or subscript mode.
The printer is switched to superscript mode when 0 (hex.00 or hex.30) is set for n, and
to subscript mode when 1 (hex.01 or hex.31) is set. The subsequent characters are
printed with about 2⁄3 of their normal height, either in the upper or lower half of the cor-
responding character location.
If superscript or subscript characters are underlined, the underline character is printed
at its normal position.
The characters hex.B0 to hex.DF (dec. 176...dec.223) and hex.F0 to hex.FE
(dec.240...dec.254) of the extended EPSON graphics character set cannot be set to
superscript or subscript mode.
➋This code sequence resets the superscript or subscript mode to normal mode.
