Chapter 2 Configuring the P-Series Emulation with Control Codes

Elongated (Double High) Print, Set/Reset

ASCII Code SFCC w

Hex Code SFCC 77

Dec Code SFCC 119

Purpose Turns double-high character printing on and off. Double-high

characters are standard width but twice as high.

where

= 1 or 49 (hex 01 or hex 31) turns double high printing on

= 0 or 48 (hex 00 or hex 30) turns double high printing off

Discussion The OCR A and OCR B fonts cannot be printed in double high.

NOTE: It is recommended to use double Line Feeds and Carriage Returns

when double-high character printing is on (after an SFCC w control

code has been sent), or else the printer will overstrike text that has

already printed.

If Superscript/Subscript (SFCC S) is combined with Double High

printing,

only

Double High printing will occur.

Example The following illustrates double-high character printing.

Emphasized Print

ASCII Code SFCC E

Hex Code SFCC 45

Dec Code SFCC 69

Purpose Selects emphasized character print format.

Discussion When the emphasized print control code is received, all

characters will be printed in emphasized print until reset by the

emphasized print reset control code or printer reset. The

emphasized print attribute is implemented by horizontal

“shadow” printing.

Emphasized print is ignored during superscript or subscript

printing, and when 15-20 cpi characters have been selected.

Example The following sample illustrates emphasized character printing.
