Selecting justification

ESC a n

Left:

n=0 or 48

Center:

n=1 or 49

Right:

n=2 or 50

This command will justify the orientation of the printing. Accessing the command is the same as initializing the printer

command. Ctrl+P to enter the control key command, follow by ESC key.

This will give you the ESC character I n this command we will set the justification to center. For center justification we

use 1 or 49, in this program we will be using 1. Therefore n=1, insert this into the command by Ctrl+P and Ctrl A. The

character that should appear is

←a n

i.e.

←a ( Ctrl P+Ctrl A)

←a-

Up to this point we should have a program without any carriage returns as follows.

←@↔! ←a-

The command is turned off by inserting a Nul value into the command. This will justify the printer to left.

Please note that if we were to press RETURN (ENTER) after this command, the printer will

feed one line and then start printing. As the program is now it will start printing without

feeding one line. When pressing ENTER in a program the printer will see it as a CR

(carriage return) and a LF (Line Feed). This tip will apply to the next few lines of commands.

Inserting Text into the program

Following the previous command insert the Text we would like to print. At this point we use the RETURN (ENTER) key

to insert carriage returns into our program. This Text will all be printed center justified.
