27 14 77 This sequence starts the Diablo daisywheel program mode.
In this mode, a character follows each printable character
code to define hammer intensity and ribbon feed. If the
proportional mode is on, the second character defines
hammer intensity and PS units.
With the program mode on and the proportional-spacing
mode off, the printer accepts the additional character;
however, since both hammer intensity and ribbon feed are
not applicable, the printer ignores this character.
With both the program and proportional-spacing modes on,
the printer interprets the second character as follows:
Ignores bits 4, 5, and 6 (these define hammer intensity
for daisywheel printers).
Reads the least significant four bits as a binary number
to determine the PS unit value.
For further information on proportional-spacing and PS unit
values, refer to the Proportional Mode sequence.
27 64 116 n This sequence enables and disables 16-inch wide text print-
27 64 116 49 ing. When you enable 16-inch wide text printing, the left-
27 64 116 48 most print position, left margin and horizontal tabs move
1.2 inches to the left; the rightmost print position and right
margin move 1.2 inches to the right. The result is a 16-inch
wide print line. When you disable 16-inch wide text print-
ing, the leftmost and rightmost print positions, margins and
horizontal tabs return to their original locations.
With 16-inch wide text printing enabled, text prints uni-
directionally; that is, text printing occurs only while the
carriage moves from left to right across the platen. Also,
draft-quality text printing is disabled. If you select draft-
quality, the printer substitutes memo-quality. Also, the
letter- and memo-quality print speeds are slower than
normal.
This sequence does not affect graphics printing. If you
want to print 16-inch wide graphics, you must use the
16-Inch Wide Graphics sequence.
Note: With 16-inch wide text printing enabled, be sure to
load paper in the printer so that it aligns with the blue line
on the paper scale. This ensures that printing does not run
off the left side of the page.
