7.2.8 LC printing
Certain professional applications may require unusually Large character sizes. Therefore your
printer has the possibility of scaling standard size characters up to factor 99 by means of
control sequences (LCP*).
The Header sequence defines the parameters (e.g. height) once. This definition remains
until the printer is switched off. The printable LCP* information is transmitted in an LCP
“bracket” (SI).
The following character sets (with national characters) are available.

The character sets are selected via the following LCP sequence ESC ”P“ ”L“ ”S“ n ESC ”\“. The
value of n may range between 01 and 02 (as ASCII characters) – see ID column in the above
table.
To select e.g. the German character set, you must use the following data set:

The printout of LCP characters can be selected in all of the emulations.
Prerequisite: Printer must be in Barcode mode.
Note that this printer supports some scalable fonts in the LQ-2170 emulation if a
compatible driver is used.
