ESC [0

ESC [p1

Description

SET CHARACTER SIZE

Sets the expansion of oversized characters in percentage points. Pv is the vertical expansion and Ph is the horizontal expansion. The parent font is a 10-point font. Dimensions established by this sequence are stored in nonvolatile RAM while power is off.

Caution: Any text between receipt of this command and a countermanding mode selection command, either ESC [(Ps) or ESC[(Ps)t, will be printed in expanded mode. If you do not want this to happen, then you must follow this command immediately with a mode selection command.

The range of valid parameters (in the sense that a valid parameter does not abort the escape sequence) is 0 <= Pn < 32767. The printer rounds off dimension parameters as follows:

If Pn < 100, then Pn = 100

If 100 < Pn < 18700, then Pn is rounded down to the nearest 100. If Pn >= 18700, then Pn = 18700
