Turns on White/Black reverse printing mode. This command is only available in 7194
Native Mode and 7197 Native Mode. In White/Black reverse printing mode, print dots
and non-print dots are reversed, which means that white characters are formed by
printing a black background. When the White/Black reverse printing mode is selected it is
also applied to character spacing which is set by Right-Side Character Spacing (1B 20).
This command can be used with built-in characters and user-defined characters, but does
not affect the space between lines.
White/Black Reverse Print Mode does not affect bit image, downloaded bit image, bar
code, HRI characters, and spacing skipped by Horizontal Tab (09), Set Absolute Starting
Position (1B 24…), and Set Relative Print Position (1B 5C).
White/Black reverse mode has a higher priority than Underline Mode. When Underline
Mode is on and White/Black Reverse Print Mode is selected, Underline Mode is disabled,
but not canceled.
Example:
• MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1D) & Chr$(&H42) & Chr$(n)
