8–49IBM Proprinter Emulation
Superscript/Subscript Printing
ASCII Code ESC S n
Hex Code 1B 53 n
Dec Code 27 83 n
Purpose Selects superscript or subscript printing.
Discussion An ESC S code can be set for superscript or subscript printing, as
follows:
If n = odd, the subscript attribute is selected.
If n = even, the superscript attribute is selected.
When the super/subscript command is received, all characters will be
superscript or subscript until reset by the super/subscript reset command or
printer reset. Super/Subscript Print modes are not available for the double
high attribute. An ESC S code can occur at any place in the datastream and is
acted upon immediately, though super/subscript 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 superscript/subscript printing.
