ing position will shift to the right and a line of printable characters reduced.
4. Download registered characters defined with 5 x 9 fonts are printed regardless of the current font setting (7 x 9/5

This parameter specifies whether to adorn red/black for ANK space characters in red printing mode (black/white in-
verted).
The ANK space characters are limited to ASCII code 20H in this setting.
In the character code table, if 7FHex is a space character, 7FHex is a target for this setting.
The following is an example of each setting.
It is possible to avoid unnecessary adornment in printing patterns that provide spacing of printing positions with ANK
space characters (20H) when red is specified.
(Print Example)
Print Data: “4” “TOTAL” 20H 20H 20H 20H 20H 20H 20H 20H 20H “$1234”
ANK adornment = “black/white inverted printing,” ANK space characters = “red/black adornment”

ANK adornment = “black/white inverted printing,” ANK space characters = “no red/black adornment”
