Definitions
The printer powers up in the column mode last
selected by configuration. You can change the
column width by sending the appropriate control
code from the list below:
Control code 29 - 24 columns
Control code 30 - 32 columns
Control code 31 - 40 columns
You can send the control code at any point on a
line before the buffer becomes filled. You cannot
change column widths on the same line.
The RS-232 serial version can produce all ASCII
characters from hex 20 through hex 7D (decimal
32 through 125). Here’s what they look like:
Note the last two codes of the usual ASCII charac-
ter set are not supported. Instead, if CHR$(126),
which corresponds to hexadecimal 7E, is received
by the printer, it will print the character defined in its
RAM (Random Access Memory). The section on
USER Programmable Character describes how
this RAM can be loaded with any 6 x 8 pattern.
