PMODE;n Format
n ranges from 0 to 6 to select the font and pitch combination. All
other values are invalid.
n = pitch code (cpi)
An asterisk (*) (hex 2A) may be substituted for m or n. Whenever the
asterisk replaces m or n, its current value does not change. Values
other than those shown in the table below are ignored.
PMODE switches to the Primary Character Set and selects font and
pitch according to the following table.
‘n’ Font and Pitch
0 Data Processing 10 CPI
1 Data Processing 12 CPI
2 Data Processing 15 CPI
3 NLQ 10 CPI
4 Data Processing 10 CPI
5 OCR-A 10 CPI
6 OCR-B 10 CPI
Notes
This command implementation is different than the target printer
due to limitations in Font character sets. Refer to the “Emulation
Differences” section of this chapter.
