ESC i n1

Italics

1B 69 n1

Hex

27 105 n1

decimal

 

The Italics command works best with normal character width and height. At other values, the output can become pixelated. The Italics command can be applied to single characters, words, or text lines.

Italics remains in effect until deactivated or until the printer is reset.

ESC T n1

 

Reverse Text and Background

1B 54 n1

Hex

 

27 84 n1

decimal

 

 

Selects normal black text on a white background or reversed white text on a black background.

This command remains in effect until deactivated or until the printer is reset. Single characters, words, or complete text can be reversed.

n1 = 0 Gives normal print, black on white

n1 = 1 Gives reversed print, white on black

Note • Reverse text and underline invert the print data. This means that the order in which the commands are issued affect the printout if the text overlaps, such as in the case of italics.

1B 75 n1

ESC h n1

Text Height

1B 68 n1

hex

27 104 n1

decimal

 

This command scales the height of the text printed by a factor of up to 16x. The valid range of values is 0 to 15.

n1 = 0 Resets the character height to the base character height

n1 = 1...15 Increases the character height to 2...16 times the base character height.

In combination with variable character width (<ESC>w<n1>), give highly legible characters depending on the font to which the command has been applied.

Different heights can be mixed on the same print line.
