ASCII Code ESC x n
Hex Code 1B 78 n
Dec Code 27 120 n
Purpose Selects print quality.
where
n may be in the range from 0 through 4. Values in the range
5-255 are invalid.
n = 0 or 48 (hex 00 or hex 30) selects DP print quality
n = 1 or 49 (hex 01 or hex 31) selects Near Letter Quality (NLQ)
n = 2 or 50 (hex 02 or hex 32) selects HS print quality
n = 3 or 51 (hex 03 or hex 33) selects OCR A print quality
n = 4 or 52 (hex 04 or hex 34) selects OCR B print quality
Discussion This command overrides control panel print quality selections.
NOTE: Some print attributes (such as condensed, double-wide, etc.) may not
return to their previous setting when changing from OCR-A or OCR-B
back to another Print Quality. For guaranteed results, all print
attributes should be set after the Print Quality is selected.
Selecting an OCR print quality overrides any character attributes
set, such as condensed, double-wide, etc. Setting character
attributes when OCR is set may cause unexpected results.
†
Draft, OCR A, and OCR B print qualities (
n = 2, 3, or 4) are not
defined in Epson-FX printers.
