[Function] Selects Page Mode

[Code] ASCII ESC L

Hexadecimal 1B 4C

Decimal 27 76

[Outline] This command switches from the standard mode to the page mode.

• The page mode deploys the received data over the speciﬁed print area and prints it in batch

with the FF command. Consequently, normal print commands such as LF only deploy the

data in the printer’s memory, but not actually print it.

• The printer returns to the standard mode after printing the data in the speciﬁed print area with

FF.

[Caution] • The command is valid only when it is input at the head of the line.

• In the page mode, half dots are not used, but only normal dots. Therefore, you should take

heed in setting in increments of half dot in the standard mode.

• Only the font consisting of normal dots is valid.

• The following commands have two kinds of set values for the standard mode and page

mode:

ESC SP Sets the right space size of the characters

ESC 2 Sets the 1/6-inch line feed amount

ESC 3 Sets the line feed amount

• The following commands are ignored in the page mode:

ESC K Print and reverse directional paper feed

ESC e Print and n-line reverse directional paper feed

ESC * Speciﬁes the double density bit image

ESC q Release

• The following commands are valid only for their setting in the page mode:

ESC { Selects/deselects the inverted characters

ESC ! Selects/deselects the 7

7 font and underline

• The command is valid only in the standard mode.

• ESC @ returns you to the standard mode without printing.

[Default] The standard mode has been selected.
