Re: [ql-users] printer codes

[Arnold Clarke]

Hi. guys,  I thank you for your replies.   To give  fuller picture I can tell you  I have had an Epson LQ-100 ESC/P2 for a few years and I have the Handbook. It appears from your remarks the codes will apply to my newly aquired printer. I have tested this out and it is so.   Because I have a selector button on the LQ-100 for condensed print I have never had to bother with the codes.   In the handbook it does give CHR$15 as condensed but under the ASC11 column it is SI, not ESC - it just prints normal text   I have discoverd ESCg which gives 15cpi and it would almost do for condensed   The main one seems to be the Master Select.  ESC! n; It says to find the value of n,add together the numbers of the fonts attributes and enhancements you want to combine from the list below:    n = 0: 10 cpi                 4: Condensed           32: Double Width       1: 12 cpi                 8: Bold                     64: Italic       2: Proportional       16. Double Strike      128: Underline The first five numbers do nothing , the last  four do deliver,as expected, and in combinations : 4+64 = 68 does give condensed italics 4 will work with 128, and give condensed underline. but 4 will not work 8 to give condensed bold.   I am nealy there thanks,   Arnold
