Printronix MVP Series - Manual (Page 148)

Programming 7–24
Control Code Sequence
The printer will not return to the previous mode when a line with a mode
change is printed. The printer will always remain in the new mode until
another mode is specified. Cycling the printer power will restore the default
mode (Configuration Option 30); however, this mode may not be the same
mode prior to power cycling.
When you include the mode change control code sequence after the number
of characters (see Table 7–8), the automatic line feed is used from the
original mode (or the last mode specified within that number of characters),
and the new mode change affects only the characters after the line feed. The
effected characters are automatically wrapped around (start a new line) and
are printed in the new mode.
Table 7–8. Characters Per Line/Mode/Configuration Option
Characters Per Line/Configuration Option
Mode 22.0 22.1 22.2 22.3 22.4
1 132 132 104 80 80
2 132 132 104 80 80
3 165 165 132 100 80
4 159 132 132 132 80
5 176 132 132 132 80
NOTE: When using Configuration Option 22.0, an automatic line feed is
not inserted. The numbers given are the maximum number of
characters that can fit in a line in that mode. Additional characters
above the listed numbers overprint the beginning of the line;
however, there is one special case. A line feed will be inserted after
176 characters in Mode 5 because that is the limit of the printer
input buffer.
