Description

STOP

➊By means of this MTPL-sequence the eighth data bit is set to “1”.

This results in accordance with the selected character set characters from the national character set or italic characters to be printed.

➋By means of this MTPL-sequence the eighth data bit is set to “0”.

This means that wrong character printing caused by the eighth data bit set high by the system can be avoided.

CSI 9 z is ignored

–if Extended Character Set is selected,

–if Graphic Mode is selected

Note that following the sequence CSI 8 z all subsequent control sequences must begin with an “ESC [ ”, because CSI (9B) cannot be represented by a 7 bit code.This remains in effect until the printer receives either the sequence ESC [ 9 z or ESC [ 7 z .
