Commands Description
ESC
[Pv;Ph<sp>B
SET CHARACTER SIZE
Sets the expansion of oversized characters in percentage points. Pv is the vertical
expansion and Ph is the horizontal expansion. The parent font is a 10-point font.
Dimensions established by this sequence are stored in nonvolatile RAM while power is
off.
Caution: Any text between receipt of this command and a countermanding mode
selection command, either ESC [(Ps)| or ESC[(Ps)t, will be printed in expanded mode.
If you do not want this to happen, then you must follow this command immediately with
a mode selection command.
The range of valid parameters (in the sense that a valid parameter does not abort the
escape sequence) is 0 <= Pn < 32767. The printer rounds off dimension parameters
as follows:
If Pn < 100, then Pn = 100
If 100 < Pn < 18700, then Pn is rounded down to the nearest 100.
If Pn >= 18700, then Pn = 18700
