n g-pin graphics emulation
mode
As you had learned in Chapter 2, this printer has a unique 9-
pin graphics emulation mode.
You can select this mode with a control code - (ESC)"g".
After you've entered into the g-pin graphics emulation mode,
following commands work in the same manner for the g-pin
printers, as shown below:
(ESC)"A"
n
- Sets or defines line spacing to n/72 inch.
(ESC)"3"
n
- Sets line spacing to n/216 inch.
(ESC>"J" n
- Sends a one-time paper feed of n/216 inch.
(ESC)"j" n
- Sends a one-time reverse feed of n/216 inch.
In addition, the relationship between the dot graphics data
and the pins in the print head will be changed to suit for g-pin
printers.
Note:
You must turn off the power switch to cancel this mode.
n The optional sheet feeder
The automatic sheet feeder is a handy option that feeds single
cut sheets automatically. Work done on cut sheets looks better
that done on computer paper, and you don't have to tear the
"ears" off each sheet as you must with fan-fold paper.
The automatic sheet feeder feeds a new sheet automatically
every time the printer receives or generates a form feed. Any
time you wish, you can turn the auto-feed unit on and off by
using control codes.
