MIXING PRINT MODES

We have learned how to use the various print modes in-

dividually and together. Now we’ll see how to combine them

more efficiently.

You have at your disposal a unique command that lets you

choose any valid combination of print modes and pitch. This is

the Master Print mode command. It looks like this:

(ESC) “!” n

Here, the value of n defines the print style to be selected. The

value of n can range from 0 to 255, which is the range of values

that can be stored in one eight-bit byte. If you look at each bit in

this byte, you’ll find that each one represents a printing style

variation. Adding the binary values of the selected bits gives the

value of n for a particular combination of print styles.

Table 3-10 shows the decimal values of the bits in the Master

Print byte. To calculate the value n for a particular combination

of printing styles, just add the decimal values of the features

that you want to combine.

Table 3-10

Values of mixing print styles for Master Print

For example, if you want to select elite expanded boldface

print, you would calculate the value of n like this:

Elite

Boldface

Expanded 32

1 2 ... 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 ... 99 100
