Dec Code 27 120
n
Purpose This code selects a print quality.
where
n
= 0 or 48 (hex 00 or hex 30) selects DP print quality
n
= 1 or 49 (hex 01 or hex 31) selects NLQ print quality
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
Comment When you select NLQ, the font is serif. Print qualities selected
with this command override control panel selections. Selecting
an OCR print quality overrides any character attributes already
set, such as condensed, double-wide, etc. These attributes will
not return when another print quality is set. Character attributes
set when OCR is selected will be ignored.
