ESC X m n1 n2

C X m n1
a
is
the
command for selecting pitch and point size
where
m,
nl
and
n2
are variables. The
vadable
W
is used
to
select
the pitch, which is the character
spa&g.
The
variable

selects the point size and the variable
“n2”,
at this time,
will always be 0 (zero). The variables

the character pitch will be proportional spacing. To determine the
character

for
all
other values of

divide 360 by
“m”.
For example, if
rn=W
then 360
divided
by 60 equals 6 and the character pitch is 6 characters per inch. If
m=30,
the character pitch is 12 characters per inch.

command to the printer. (Note: The
pitch is set for proportional spacing for
ail
point sizes to ensure proper
character spacing regardless of the point size.)
Line

-
sends the “Set Relative Vertical Position” command to the printer. This
command advances the paper in preparation for printing the next line.

ESC

nl n2 is the command for setting the page length in units where ml,
m2,
nl and
n2
are variables. The
“uniV’
is usually
l/380
of an inch unless defined
othenwise
by the “ESC (
l.Y
command. Currently, the values for ml and
m2
MUST be
ml
=2
and
m2=0.
To determine the values for n1 and n2 perform the following steps.
1.
Determine the desired page length in inches.
2
Multiply the page length by 380.
3.
Divide the result by 256 using long division.
4.
The remainder in the quotient from step 3 is the value for n1.
5.
The whole number in the quotient from step 3 is the value for n2.
EXAMPLE
1.
The page length is 8.5
inches.
2
8.5 x 380 = 3060
3.
3080
divided
by 258
=
11 with
a
remainder of 244.
4.
nl=244
5.
n2=11
In the Basic programming language, the command would look like this.
This command, as listed in the line above, will set the page length to 8.5 inches.
NOTE: The current line becomes the top of form. This command cancels any
previously set top and bottom margin settings.
If
you wish to set the top and bottom
margins via software command, the commands must be issued
AFTER
the
“Set
Page
Length in Defined Units” command. The proper page length setting can be confirmed
by issuing a “Form Feed” command,
chr$(l2),
or by pressing the “FF button on the
control panel while the printer is
“Cff
Line”.

After using the ESC ( t command, the ESC t n command MUST be sent to select the
table before printing from the new table.
For example, the command ESC ( t 3 0 1 3

(PC950)
to Selectable Table 1
(PC437).
In order
to print the
Q
character (ASCII
245),
the command ESC t 1 must be sent. In the Basic
programming language, the sequence would be as follows:
t.PRtNT
CHR$(27);“CT);CHR$(3);CHR$(O);CHR$(l);CHR$(3);CHR$(O);
LPRINT

Some ESC/P2 documentation may illustrate as many as 22 different Registered
Tables. The Registered Tables are a part of the character set, therefore, they are
contained in the Character Generator ROM. The CG ROM differs based upon the
destination country. For
thii
reason, only the above Registered Tables are available
on
LQ-570,
LQ-1070,
LQ-870
and
LQ-1170
printers sold for the U.S. market. Foreign
Character Generator ROMs ARE NOT available in the United States. The following
