Programming 6–28
Condensed Print
ASCII Hex Decimal
P–Series See Comment.
Serial SI 0F 15
ESC SI 1B 0F 27 15
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 6–57.
If 17 cpi is not supported by the currently selected print mode, the SI code is ignored.
The Serial Matrix condensed print control code SI affects all subsequent characters.
After receiving code SI, all characters are 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 allowed in the current print mode, the code is ig-
nored.
Example The following sample program illustrates condensed character printing and reset.
