(STANDARD)
ESC G n
[Name] Turn on/off double-strike mode
[Format] ASCII ESC G n
Hex 1B 47 n
Decimal 27 71 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
[Description] Turns double-strike mode on or off.
• When the LSB of n is 0, double-strike mode is turned off.
• When the LSB of n is 1, double-strike mode is turned on.
[Notes] • Only the lowest bit of n is enabled.
• Printer output is the same in double-strike mode and in emphasized mode.
• Two-pass printing is executed; therefore, printing speed goes slow.
[Default] n = 0
[Reference] ESC E
ESC J n
[Name] Print and feed paper
[Format] ASCII ESC J n
Hex 1B 4A n
Decimal 27 74 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
[Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper [n × vertical or horizontal
motion unit] inches.
[Notes] • After printing is completed, this command sets the print starting position to the
beginning of the line.
• The paper feed amount set by this command does not affect the values set by
ESC 2 or ESC 3.
• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P.
• The GS P command can change the vertical (and horizontal) motion unit.
However, the value cannot be less than the minimum vertical movement
amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum vertical movement amount.
• The maximum paper feed amount is 1016 mm {40"}. Even if a paper feed
amount of more than 1016 mm {40"} is set, the printer feeds the paper only 1016
mm {40"}.
• In standard mode, the printer uses the vertical motion unit (y).
• In page mode, this command functions as follows, depending on the starting
position of the printable area:
① When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable
area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
② When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the print able
area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
