(1) The following commands are effective both in the TEXT mode and in the GRAPH
mode.
ESC+ “?"” +"a"” to "“o” (character scale setting)
ESC + 0" to ‘3" (color setting)
ESC + “a” (TEXT mode)
ESC + "“b” (GRAPH mode)
When the command ESC + ““a’’ is performed, the value of the Q equation in the Q
Instruction is set at 0. This sets the pen at the left margin which then becomes the
home, or origin. position. The L Instruction remains effective.

(5) The values that can be specified in M, D, R or J Instructions are between —999 and
+999. But if you input more than one R or J Instruction, values between —2048 and
+2047 can be specified.
If
values
outside
of
these
ranges
are
input,
the

returns
to
its
initial
state
just
as
it
does when the reset button is pressed.
