– 13 – 5. CONTROL CODES CODE LF (0A) H FUNCTION Print and line feed instruction OUTLINE The LF code causes the data in the line buffer to be printed, followed by a single line feed. When the line buffer is empty, only the feed takes place. CODE CR (0D) H FUNCTION Print and line feed instruction OUTLINE Same function as of LF code.
– 14 – CODE SI (0F) H FUNCTION Inverted print instruction OUTLINE This function causes the printing to be inverted. This code must be received at the beginning of a line. If this code is received anywhere other than at the beginning of a line, it is disregarded.
– 15 – CODE ESC a n (1B) H (61) H n FUNCTION n-line feed OUTLINE After printing the data in the current line, n lines are fed by this code. The value of n ranges from 1 to 120. CODE ESC C n (1B) H (43) H n FUNCTION Sets page length in lines OUTLINE This code sets the length of a page to n lines.
– 16 – CODE ESC @ (1B) H (40) H FUNCTION Printer initialization OUTLINE All printing conditions except ESC BEL n 1 n 2 , the line buffer and data buffer are set to the power on default condition. CODE ESC BEL n 1 n 2 (1B) H (07) H n 1 n 2 FUNCTION Sets peripheral unit drive 1 pulse duration.
– 17 – CODE FS (1C) H FUNCTION Trigger peripheral unit drive 1 (immediate) OUTLINE Causes a peripheral drive 1 pulse to be generated immediately CODE SUB (1A) H FUNCTION Trigger peripheral unit drive 2 (immediate) OUTLINE This command causes a peripheral unit drive 2 pulse to be generated.
– 18 – CODE GS (1D) H FUNCTION Validation printing instruction OUTLINE This code causes the printer to perform validation printing of a maximum of 32 subsequent characters (at 15 CPI, from the thirteenth to the forty-forth column).
