32 Line Matrix Printer Code V Programmer's Reference Manual

Character Type

Comments The @C command can be used any time the Code V is in the

Graphics Mode. Once a new character type is selected, all

standard Graphics Mode text lines are printed in the selected

type until another type is selected or the Code V returns to the

Normal Mode. If another type is selected, it must be introduced

on a separate line from the currently selected character type.

NOTE: Due to different printing technologies and dot sizes, some printers

may not be capable of printing small characters clearly.

Example The following example illustrates changing character type from

the standard characters to 17.65 cpi characters.

^PY^-

Standard Characters in the Graphics Mode

^F^-^@C17^*Compressed 17.65 cpi characters after the Character

Type command^*

^@C10^-

^0^-^PN^-

NOTE: The second character type is sent to return the Code V to standard 10

cpi print.
