Color shade mode (ColorPOS ® )
ASCII GS 0x87 m
Hexadecimal 1D 87 m
Decimal
29 135 m
This applies a mixing of color into any monochrome
objects such as text and monochrome logos. Rather than
fading away, this mode transitions a character or logo from
the current color in which it would normally be printed
to the other color. The parameter m specifies the shading
effect and has an initial value of 0 which signifies no
effect. m specifies the percentage of shading, 0 <= m <=
100.
m specifies the percentage of shading, 0 <= m <= 100.
m = 0 is the initial value and turns this mode off. Note: Only a few gradations will be perceptible, so large
increments of m, such as 20, should be used. If a reverse
print mode is on, the shade effect will be applied to the
background only.
When the current color mode is set to black, increasing
values of m relate to the relative amount of paper-color
that replaces black dots. Analogously, when the paper-
color is the current color, m defines the relative amount
of black color dots replacing the paper-color ones.
Both text and monochrome graphics are affected by this
command.
Turning color shade mode on, turns monochrome shade
mode off.
Logo print with color plane swap (ColorPOS ® )
ASCII GS 0x89 n m
Hexadecimal 1D 89 n m
Decimal
29 137 n m
This command will print logo n. The command is ignored
if a logo with index n has not been defined. If m = 0 the
color(s) as defined in the logo are used; if m = 1 and if the logo is a color one, then the two color planes (black and
paper-color) in the logo are swapped.
