Purpose

Selects 17 characters per inch (cpi) condensed print format.

Comment

Condensed print can be selected using P-Series control code SFCC X or by

Serial Matrix control code ESC X. Refer to Print Mode/Pitch Selection on

page 6-58.

The Serial Matrix condensed print control code SI affects all subsequent

characters. After receiving code SI, all characters will be printed in condensed

print until reset by ESC M, ESC P, the condensed print reset control code

DC2, printer reset, or a new print mode control code. The Serial Matrix SI

code (hex 0F) is equivalent to the ESC SI code. If condensed print is not alĆ

lowed in the current print mode, the code is ignored.

Example

The following sample program illustrates condensed character printing and

reset.
