Half Speed Printing
The half speed command can be used to set the printer to half the normal
speed when printing in the Utility mode. This has no effect on the graphics
and only reduces the printer noise.
Note:
Half speed printing is not available in HSD or NLQ
modes.
FORMATTING FEATURES
Variable Line Feed
The reverse line feed command enables setting of a fine reverse LF of n/
216 inches. This command is carried out only once. So if it is necessary to
skip back a few times, this command will have to be sent once for each
back-skip required.
It is not possible to reverse back over the Top Of Form.
Absolute & Relative Dot Positioning
The absolute dot position code sets the next printing position by counting
in 1/60 inch dot units from the left margin.
n1 is decimal number between 0 and 255; n2 is a decimal number between
0 and 3.
Using these two variables, the specific dot position can be specified where
printing should start. Variables can be calculated with this formula:
n2 = Int. (dot position/256) n1 = Dot pos. - (n2 x 256)
