Selecting IBM Proprinter Emulation via DECIPEM
Digital emulation is the default when printer power is turned on, but you can
select Proprinter emulation with one control sequence, the enter IBM
Proprinter emulation sequence, DECIPEM:
ASCII: CSI ? 5 8 h
Hex: 9BH 3FH 35H 38H 68H
This sequence performs the same function as the Select Other Coding
System (SOCS) sequence. DECIPEM resets IBM emulation mode to its
initial conditions, which include:
• Downloaded buffer
• Character and line pitch
• Character attributes
• Print density
• Form length
• Tabs
• Active Character Set
Once the printer is in IBM emulation mode the only valid Digital–compatible
commands are RIS and DECSTR.
