ESC X m n1 n2 (Select Pitch and Point Size)

C X m n1 a is the command for selecting pitch and point size where m, nl and n2 are variables. The vadable W is used to select the pitch, which is the character spa&g. The variable W” selects the point size and the variable “n2”, at this time, will always be 0 (zero). The variables In” and 91’ ate explained below.

To determine the character pit& for all other values of %I”, divide 360 by “m”. For example, if rn=W then 360 divided by 60 equals 6 and the character pitch is 6 characters per inch. If m=30, the character pitch is 12 characters per inch.

Line 20 - computes the value for “nl” in the ESC X command.

tine 21 - check to ensure that a valid point size was input tf the point size is valid, the program jumps to line 30. tf the point size is not valid, the program prints a message on the screen and starts over again.

Line 30 - computes the value for “nl ” for advancing paper using the ESC ( v command.

Line 40 - sends the “Set Pitch and Point Size” command to the printer. (Note: The pitch is set for proportional spacing for ail point sizes to ensure proper character spacing regardless of the point size.)

Line 50 - sends the “Set Relative Vertical Position” command to the printer. This command advances the paper in preparation for printing the next line.

Line60causes the program to start again at the beginning.

NOTE: To hatt the program, hold down the “CM key and press the “c” key.

ESC ( C m1 m2 n1 n2 (Set Page Length in Defined Units

II

ESC ( C ml m2 nl n2 is the command for setting the page length in units where ml, m2, nl and n2 are variables. The “uniV’ is usually l/380 of an inch unless defined othenwise by the “ESC ( l.Y command. Currently, the values for ml and m2 MUST be ml =2 and m2=0.

To determine the values for n1 and n2 perform the following steps.

1.

Determine the desired page length in inches.

2 Multiply the page length by 380.

3.

Divide the result by 256 using long division.

4.

The remainder in the quotient from step 3 is the value for n1.

5.

The whole number in the quotient from step 3 is the value for n2.

EXAMPLE

1.

The page length is 8.5 inches.

2 8.5 x 380 = 3060

3.

3080 divided by 258 = 11 with a remainder of 244.

4.

nl=244

5.

n2=11

In the Basic programming language, the command would look like this.

This command, as listed in the line above, will set the page length to 8.5 inches.

NOTE: The current line becomes the top of form. This command cancels any previously set top and bottom margin settings. If you wish to set the top and bottom margins via software command, the commands must be issued AFTER the “Set Page

Length in Defined Units” command. The proper page length setting can be confirmed by issuing a “Form Feed” command, chr$(l2), or by pressing the “FF button on the control panel while the printer is “Cff Line”.

After using the ESC ( t command, the ESC t n command MUST be sent to select the table before printing from the new table. For example, the command ESC ( t 3 0 1 3

0 is sent (assign Registered Table 3 (PC950) to Selectable Table 1 (PC437). In order to print the Q character (ASCII 245), the command ESC t 1 must be sent. In the Basic programming language, the sequence would be as follows: t.PRtNT CHR$(27);“CT);CHR$(3);CHR$(O);CHR$(l);CHR$(3);CHR$(O);

LPRINT CHR$(27);7’;CHR$(l);

LPRINT CHR$(245)

Some ESC/P2 documentation may illustrate as many as 22 different Registered

Tables. The Registered Tables are a part of the character set, therefore, they are contained in the Character Generator ROM. The CG ROM differs based upon the destination country. For thii reason, only the above Registered Tables are available on LQ-570, LQ-1070, LQ-870 and LQ-1170 printers sold for the U.S. market. Foreign

Character Generator ROMs ARE NOT available in the United States. The following

U.S. In order to print the first 31 characters in Tables 1 through 9, the ESC ( h command must be sent.

Send the Assign Character Table command to the printer assigning the

Send the Select Character Table command to the printer selecting Selectable

Table number 0 as the current Character Table for printing.

If the Registered Character Table number is 0, do not execute commands in lines

70 through 90. This is because the Italic Character Table duplicates control codes and non-displayable characters in ASCII values 127 through 160. Program lines 100 and 110 prevent the attempted printing of this range of ASCII values.

Note: tines 70 through 90 will execute ONLY if the Registered Character Table to be printed is NOT table number 0. Refer to the conditional command in line 60.

70 tf the Registered Character Table number is not 0, send the Print Data as

Characters command to the printer. Speckally, this command, as listed, tells the printer to print the next 31 bytes as data, not control codes.

C l h n1 n2 d, . . . dk is the command for printing control codes as data where nl and n2 are variables and d, . ..d,representthedat&atistobeprintedas characbrs. The variables nl and n2 tell the printer Yhe next xx ASCII codes are to be interpreted as characters instead of control codes”. Thii command is used primarily to print displayable characters such as ASCII values 0 through 31 in Registered Tables

1 through 9 which are normally used as control codes (LF, FF, ESC, etc.)

T O determine the values for nl and n2 perform the following steps.

1. Determine how many ASCII codes will be sent sequentially immediately following nl and n2

2 Using long division, divide the quantity of ASCII codes that will be sent sequentially immediately following nl and n2 by 255.

3. The remainder in the quotient is the value for n1.

4. The whoie number in the quotient is the value for n2

EXAMPLE

1. The symbols for the different suits of a card deck (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades - V’, +, 4, and 4) are to be printed. These are each separate

ASCII codes (ASCII codes 2 3.4, and 5 when using the PC437 Character table).

2 4dividedby255= 0 with a remainder of 4.

3. nl =4

4.n2=0

In the Basic programming language, the command would look like this.

Thii command, as listed in the line above, will cause the printer to print the symbols for the different suits of a card deck (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades V’, +, 4, and 4). Another example of using the ESC ( * command is illustrated in the explanation of the ESC ( t (Assign Character Table) command.
