Selects red/black substitute function
Selects characters targeted for adornment with m = 1 (ANK) or m = 2 (Japanese characters), and
selects the ESC 4/ESC 5 command functions with n.
Sets the handling of adornment to space characters (ASCII 20Hex) with m = 83.
This command is enabled only when in a state where adornment is cancelled by ESC 4 (when ESC
5 was specified).
• When m = 1, 48 Targeted characters = ANK
m n ESC 4/ESC 5 command functions (ANK)
1, 49 0 White/black inverted printing (1 Pass)
1, 49 1 White/black inversion (5 x 9 font print) + enhancing (2 passes)
1, 49 2 Upper line + Underline + enhancing (2 passes)
1, 49 3 Upper line + Underline + double tall expanded + enhancing (4 passes)
1, 49 255 No adornment
• When m = 2, 50 Targeted characters = Japanese Characters
m n ESC 4/ESC 5 command functions (Japanese characters)
2, 50 0 No adornment
2, 50 2 Upper line + Underline + enhancing (4 passes)
2, 50 3 Upper line + Underline + double tall expanded + enhancing (4 passes)
2, 50 4 White/Black Inverted + Double-Tall (2 passes)
2, 50 5 White/Black Inverted + 4 X Expanded (2 passes)
When using ESC 5 to cancel adornments, it returns to the previously set adornments. (Adornments
such as underline, upper line, double-tall expanded and enhancing are cancelled if there is no com-
mand to set them (for example the ESC - -1 specification for underlines).
