ESC P

Selects 10.5 point, 10 cpi. (EPSON)

ASCII Code

ESC P n

Hexadecimal Value

X'1B' X'50' n

Decimal Value

27 80 n

This command selects 10.5 point, 10 cpi character printing. If you change the pitch during proportional
mode (selected with the ESC p command) the change takes effect when the printer exits proportional
mode.

ESC P

Sets or cancels proportional printing. (IBM)

ASCII Code

ESC P n

Hexadecimal Value

X'1B' X'50' n

Decimal Value

27 80 n

Range

1 ≤ n ≤ 255

This code is a terminator code. It causes all data in the print buffer to be printed. Then if the n parameter
is equal to 1, the subsequent data is printed in proportional mode. If the n parameter is equal to 0,
proportional mode is reset. If the any horizontal spacing command is sent to the printer when the
proportional printing is set, the command is stored and activated as soon as the proportional printing is
reset.

ESC p

Sets or cancels proportional printing. (EPSON)

ASCII Code

ESC p n

Hexadecimal Value

X'1B' X'70' n

Decimal Value

27 112 n

Range

1 ≤ n ≤ 255

This command selects the proportional or fixed spacing according to the following values:

n

Proportional Printing

0

Returns to current fixed character pitch

1

Selects proportional character spacing

The changes made to the fixed-pitch setting with ESC P, ESC M, or ESC g commands during proportional
mode take effect when the printer exits proportional mode. The printer automatically switches to LQ mode
when the printer exits proportional mode.
