NOTE:
When the printer switches off from the standby mode, the print head positioning
procedure is performed and a shift of a few tenths of a millimetre on both the
vertical and horizontal print head positions might occur.
It is possible to exit from standby mode at any time by sending the ESC # s 0
command or by pressing the “ON LINE” push button.
Vertical and horizontal position encoders are switched off in standby mode, therefore
if the position of the print head and/or paper is modied, the printer will not be able to
recover to the original position when it resumes printing.
ESC # P n Select number of copies
Format:
ASCII: ESC # P n
decimal: 27 35 80 n
hexadecimal: 1B 23 50 n
Comment:
Selects the number of copies, represented by n, where “n” ranges from 1 to 4. The
lower is the “n” value, the lowest is consumption, as the command acts on the needle
ring time.
Default value is 4.
4.3 CHARACTER SET
The standard character set (enclosures A) is IBM full ASCII 256 in all formats. The rst
32 characters of the set are not printable, but are partly used as control characters.
It is also possible to set a specic national character set (see table 9) with SW1-4/5/6
or by sending the relevant control character.
4.3.1 Control characters printing (German characters)
ESC 6 Enable control character printing
Format:
ASCII: ESC 6
decimal: 27 54
hexadecimal: 1B 36
Comment:
This command allows for printing characters from 128 to 159 that are normally used
as control characters and therefore are not suitable to be printed. This command is
used to enlarge the range of printable characters, or, when debugging of the interface
between host and printer is needed. Normally the control character printing is enabled
(default setting).
