A799-PG00001D

Command

Description

Difference between previous product

and new product emulation mode.

1B 4A n

Print and feed paper

This command uses n in terms of n/360 inches. Since the

A793 had a fundamental step of 1/152 inch and the A799

has a fundamental step of 1/203 inch, the actual line

spacing will not exactly match the requested spacing.

1B 59 n1 n2 d1...dn

Select double-density graphics

In A793 emulation mode, the printer scales the graphics to

provide the best match.

1B 5C n1 n2

Set relative print position

The parameter to this command is in units of dots.

However, the command moves and aligns to character

positions. In A793 emulation mode, this command

calculates how many character positions to move based on

the A793 character width in dots (10) versus the A799 (13).

1B 61 n

Select justification

This command does true dot resolution alignment for

centering versus character-aligned centering.

1D 2A n1 n2 d1...dn]

Define downloaded bit image

In A793 emulation mode, this command scales the

incoming data to provide a best match to the size of

the image as it printed on A793.

1D 2F m

Print downloaded bit image

In A793 emulation mode, this command scales the

incoming data to provide a best match to the size of the

image as it printed on A793.
