Examples

The simplest type of command consists of a single character to be
sent to the printer. For instance, to print in condensed mode, the
code format is:
ASCII code:
Decimal:
Hexadecimal: 0F
This code can be sent from a program by sending the code 15
directly.
More complex commands consist of two or more character codes.
For example, to print in double-wide mode, the code format is the
following:
ASCII code:
Decimal:
Hexadecimal:
In this case n can be either 1 (on) or 0 (off), to begin or end double-
wide printing. You can use either of the following commands to
turn on double-wide print from BASIC:
SI
15
ESC W
27 87
1B 57
