Backward printing These sequences control backward printing, wherein the
Start ...................................... ESC 6 1B 36 27 54 printer reverses the direction of normal spacing, back spacing,
End ....................................... ESC 5 1B 35 27 53 and character escapement. A space moves the current print
position one space to the left, a backspace moves the current print
position to the right, and character escapement is to the left.
Backward printing does not affect horizontal tabbing, absolute and
relative moves, carriage returns, and paper movement functions.
A carriage return or End Backward Printing sequence ends
backward printing.
Bold / shadow printing These sequences start and end bold or shadow printing at the
Start bold .............................. ESC O 1B 4F 27 79 current print position. For bold and shadow printing, the
Start shadow ......................... ESC W 1B 57 27 87 printer makes a second printing pass over the line. For
End bold / shadow ................ ESC & 1B 26 27 38 bold, the printer prints each character twice at the character's
normal print position. For shadow, the printer prints each
character twice––once at the character's normal print position,
and once 1/120-inch to the right of this position. The printer ends
bold or shadow printing when it receives a carriage return, End
Bold/Shadow Printing sequence, or End Word Processing Modes
sequence.
Auto underscoring These sequences start and end underscored printing at the
Start ...................................... ESC E 1B 45 27 69 current print position. During underscored printing, the
End ....................................... ESC R 1B 52 27 82 printer remembers the current print position as the start
location. When printing reaches the end location, the printer
underscores the area between the start location and the end
location. The end location is the print position when the printer
receives an End Auto Underscore or End Word Processing
Modes sequence, a carriage return, or any paper movement
code or sequence. If the end location is before the start location
on the line, no underscoring occurs.
End word processing ................ ESC X 1B 58 27 88 This sequence ends the program mode, bold printing,
modes shadow printing, and automatic underscoring. The sequence
also cancels the automatic center mode.
Slant printing (italics) ............... ESC @ S n 1B 40 53 n 27 64 83 n This sequence starts and ends slant printing, wherein char-
Start ...................................... ESC @ S 1 1B 40 53 31 27 64 83 49 acters slant forward to simulate italics.

End ....................................... ESC @ S 0 1B 40 53 30 27 64 83 48
Super / subscripting .................. ESC @ V n 1B 40 56 n 27 64 86 n This sequence starts and ends automatic superscripting and
Start subscripting .................. ESC @ V 1 1B 40 56 31 27 64 86 49 subscripting of characters. Both superscript and subscript
Start superscripting .............. ESC @ V 2 1B 40 56 32 27 64 86 50 characters are half the normal height. Superscript char-
End ....................................... ESC @ V 0 1B 40 56 30 27 64 86 48 acters print above the normal print line; subscript characters
print below the normal print line.
