CHAPTER 2 PCL - 13
3.2.2. End-of-line wrap
If the printer tries to print a line of text that is longer than the width of the text area, the end of the line will
normally be lost. However, you can set the printer to flow text onto the next line so that text is not lost.
You can turn on the automatic text wrap feature either from the printer's control panel (see the User Guide) or
by sending the printer the following escape sequence:
Esc&s0C (27)(38)(115)(48)(67) <1Bh><26h><73h><30h><43h>
To turn off the facility send:
Esc&s1C (27)(38)(115)(49)(67) <1Bh><26h><73h><31h><43h>
3.2.3. Display functions mode
You can choose to make the printer print escape sequences instead of executing them. Send the printer the
following sequence:
EscY (27)(89) <1B><59>
Now the printer prints out escape sequences and prints the characters of the control codes. It does not execute
them. The only exceptions to this are CR, the carriage return code, which causes a carriage return and line feed
to be performed, and the EscZ escape sequence which turns the mode off.
To turn the display functions mode off and enable escape sequences to be executed again send:
EscZ (27)(90) <1B><5A>
The printer exits the display function mode after printing a character of code 1B Hex and the letter "Z". All
subsequent escape sequences and control codes are executed normally and not printed literally.
