Chapter 4: Character Style Commands 35
Table 32: Epson ESC ! Command —
Print Features for n Values
Feature Value
Compressed printing 4
Double width printing 32
12 cpi (Elite) printing 1
Emphasized printing 8
Enhanced printing 16
Italics printing 64
Proportional printing 2
Underline printing 128
For example, to print underlined italics at 12 cpi, assign n the value of 193 (128 + 64 + 1).
Each time you send this command, it sets or cancels the values for all nine of the features it
controls (the eight features listed in the table, plus 10 cpi). This means that if you've requested
12 cpi underline italics, and then want to add emphasized printing to these features, you must
add 8 to 193 and resend the command as ESC ! 210. If you send the command ESC ! 8, it will
turn off all the other features as it turns on emphasized print.
To see the range of print styles you can produce with the ESC ! n command, run the following
BASIC program which prints a sample of each possible combination. Please note that since the
program prints all 256 combinations, it will take a few minutes and about 12 pages for the
entire sample to print.
