Large character printing
Certain professional applications may require unusually large character sizes.
Therefore your printer has the possibility of scaling standard size characters up to
factor 99 by means of control sequences (LCP1).
The Header sequence defines the parameters (e.g. height) once.
This definition remains until the printer is switched off.
The printable LCP (Large Charager Printing) information is transmitted in an LCP
“bracket” (SI).
The following character sets (with national characters) are available:
ID 23 24 40 5B 5C 5D 5E 60 7B 7C 7D 7E
US ASCII 01 # $ @ [ \ ] ? ` { | } ¯
GERMAN 02 # $ § Ä Ö Ü ? ` ä ö ü ß
The character sets are selected via the following LCP sequence:
ESC ”P“ ”L“ ”S“ n ESC ”\“. The value of n may range between 01 and 02 (as
ASCII characters) – see ID column in the above table.
To select e.g. the german character set, you must use the following data set:
ASCII ESC P L S 0 1 ESC \
hex. 1B 50 4C 53 30 31 1B 5C
dec. 27 80 76 83 48 49 27 92
The printout of LCP characters can be selected in all of the emulations.
Prerequisite: Printer must be in Barcode mode.
Note that this printer supports some scalable fonts in the LQ-2170
emulation if a compatible driver is used.
