Purpose Selects the print mode and character pitch in characters per inch
(cpi).
where In SFCC PMODE;
n
n
= 0 through 11 to select the print mode/pitch combinations
available from Table 10. All other values will result in an error
message.
where In SFCC [

n = Print Mode/Pitch code (values other than those shown in
Table 11 are ignored.)
q = Command sequence terminator
where In SFCC X

m
= Print Mode code
n = Pitch (cpi)
An asterisk (*) (hex 2A) may be substituted for
m or n. Whenever
the asterisk replaces
m or n , its current value will not change.
Values other than those shown in Table 12 and Table 13 are
ignored.
NOTE: The print mode must be changed before the first printable symbol or
space of a print line or the command sequence is deferred until the
next line.
Discussion P-Series PMODE switches to the Primary Character Set and
selects print mode and pitch.
Print mode and pitch can also be selected from the control
panel. The print mode/pitch select control code from the host
computer will override the control panel print mode setting and
the print mode and pitch selection will be reflected on the
message display.
If PMODE 7 through 11 are selected to enable upside down
characters, the printing is still left to right. Even though
characters are upside down, you must reverse the order to read
left to right.
A complete set of tables identifying print mode, pitch, and dot
densities for all print modes follows.
