8–27IBM Proprinter Emulation
Emphasized Print (Select)
ASCII Code ESC E
Hex Code 1B 45
Dec Code 27 69
Purpose Selects emphasized character print format.
Discussion When the emphasized print command is received, all characters will be
printed in emphasized print until reset by the Emphasized Print Reset
command or printer reset. The emphasized print attribute can be used in
either NLQ or Draft mode.
An ESC E code can occur at any place in the datastream and is acted upon
immediately. Emphasized print reduces the current print speed. Use caution
when combining this command with other print attributes: arbitrary
combinations might yield unexpected results.
Example The following sample program illustrates emphasized character printing.
