TM-T88/T88P (TM-T85/T85P) Information Manual
ESC G n
[Name] Turn double-strike mode on/off
[Format] ASCII ESC G n
Hex 1B 47 n
Decimal 27 71 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
ESC G n turns double-strike mode on or off. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1, double-
strike mode is turned on; when it is 0, double-strike mode is turned off. The default setting is n=0.
Double-strike and emphasized printing appear the same. This command is effective for all characters
(except for HRI characters).
ESC { n
[Name] Turn upside-down printing mode on/off
[Format] ASCII ESC { n
Hex 1B 7B n
Decimal 27 123 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
ESC { n turns upside-down printing mode on or off. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1,
upside-down printing mode is turned on; when it is 0, upside-down printing mode is turned off. The
default setting is n=0. When upside-down mode is turned on, the printer prints 180°-rotated
characters from right to left. The line printing order is not reversed; therefore, be careful of the order
of the data transmitted. In standard mode, this command is enabled only when processed at the
beginning of a line. In page mode, an internal flag is activated and this command is enabled when the
printer returns to standard mode.
