ESC P
Sets or cancels proportional printing. (IBM)
ASCII Code ESC P n
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'50' n
Decimal Value 27 80 n
Range 1 = n = 255
This code is a terminator code. It causes all data in the print buffer to be printed. Then if the n parameter
is equal to 1, the subsequent data is printed in proportional mode. If the n parameter is equal to 0,
proportional mode is reset. If the any horizontal spacing command is sent to the printer when the
proportional printing is set, the command is stored and activated as soon as the proportional printing is
reset.
ESC p
Sets or cancels proportional printing. (EPSON)
ASCII Code ESC p n
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'70' n
Decimal Value 27 112 n
Range 1 = n = 255
This command selects the proportional or fixed spacing according to the following values:
n Proportional Printing
0 Returns to current fixed character pitch
1 Selects proportional character spacing
ESC S
Sets subscript or superscript printing (IBM/EPSON).
ASCII Code ESC S n
Hexadecimal Value X'1B' X'53' n
Decimal Value 27 83 n
Selects subscript or superscript printing. See the following table:
n Selection
0 Subscript Print enabled
1 Superscript Print enabled
Proportional printing of subscript or superscript characters is performed at 2/3 of the proportional character
width. Use the ESC T command to cancel subscript or superscript printing.
ESC SI
Sets 17/20 cpi (IBM).
ASCII Code SI or ESC SI
Hexadecimal Value X'0F' or X'1B' X'0F'
Decimal Value 15 or 27 15
