Purpose Permits you to print hex codes 00-1F and 80-9F.
where
n = 1 allows hex codes 00-1F and 80-9F to be printable and to
be used for user-defined characters.
n = 0 returns hex 00-1F and 80-9F to control codes.
Discussion The printable characters that are included in hex codes 00
through 1F and 80 through 9F are usually not printable in the
default state on Epson printers. Sending ESC I 1 enables you to
print characters in this range. Sending ESC I 0 returns the codes
to non-printable status.
Figure 1 shows the types of characters and their addresses; it is
