Selecting impact force
Data Structure ASCII ESC [ <n> , t
hex. 1B 5B <n> 2C 74
dec. 27 91 <n> 44 116
Function This command selects the impact force of the print head. If the printout of copies is too
weak, the impact force can be increased.
Normally this function should be switched off, as the noise level and the print head
attrition will increase.
<n> = 0: Single (for single ply paper)
<n> = 1: Copy (for 2–3 ply paper)
<n> = 2: Copy Plus (for 4–6 ply paper)

This response in the coding CSI <n> ! z is produced spontaneously after initializing the
printer and after each status change (ONLINE, STOP, ERROR).
