Unicode Encoding Control Commands

Function Initiate Unicode UTF-32BE Encoding
ASCII [ESC] + h
Hexadecimal 1BH 2BH 68H
Decimal <27> <43> <104>
Description The [ESC] + h command will put the printer into UTF-32BE character
encoding mode of operation. If you wish to access characters above 255, you must
select a Unicode encoding such as UTF-32BE.
UTF-16 is the most straightforward way to access characters above 255,
however UFT32 does not require Surrogates to address character values greater
than 65535.
UTF-32BE uses the big-endian method of sending the four bytes. This method
sends the high byte first and then the lower bytes.
Note: Once selected, all information sent to the printer must then use this
encoding, even for non-print commands
Function Initiate Unicode UTF-32LE Encoding
ASCII [ESC] + l
Hexadecimal 1BH 2BH 6CH
Decimal <27> <43> <108>
Description The [ESC] + l command will put the printer into UTF-32LE character
encoding mode of operation. If you wish to access characters above 255, You must
select a Unicode encoding such as UTF-16LE.
UTF-16 is the most straightforward way to access characters above 255,
however UFT32 does not require Surrogates to address character values greater
than 65535.
UTF-32LE uses the little-endian method of sending the four bytes. This method
sends the low byte first and then the higher bytes.
Note: Once selected, all information sent to the printer must then use this
encoding, even for non-print commands
Function Initiate Unicode UTF-16BE Encoding
ASCII [ESC] + H
Hexadecimal 1BH 2BH 48H
Decimal <27> <43> <72>
