Cancel user-defined character
ASCII ESC ? n
Hexadecimal 1B 3F n
Decimal
27 63 n
Value of n: Specified character code.
Range of n: 32–255
Cancels the pattern defined for the character code specified
by n. After the user-defined character is canceled, the
corresponding pattern from code page 437
is printed.
Exceptions
This command is ignored if n is out of range or if the user-
defined character is not defined.
Select or cancel emphasized mode
ASCII ESC E n
Hexadecimal 1B 45 n
Decimal
27 69 n
Value of n: 0 (bit 0) not selected
1 (bit 0) selected
(When 0 and 1 are the least
significant bit, LSB)
Range of n: 0–255
Default: 0 (bit 0)
Starts or stops emphasized printing on slip and receipt.
In emphasized mode on the slip, each line is printed twice
to improve penetration of multipart forms and increase
print contrast. The second pass is printed the same
direction as the first to ensure accuracy of the overprint.
Printing speed decreases due to the second printing pass.
Exceptions
Only the lowest bit of n is effective.
Emphasized printing cannot be used with bit-images or
downloaded bit-images.

Turns double-strike mode on for the slip station.
Overprints a second pass of the print line on the slip
station to improve penetration of multipart forms and
increase print contract. The second pass is printed the same
direction as the first to ensure accuracy of the overprint.
The printer is reset to the standard print mode after a clear
printer (0×10) command is received.
Exceptions
The settings do not apply in page mode, However they can
be set or cleared in page mode.
Double-strike printing cannot be used with bit-images or
downloaded bit-images.
This command functions the same as A756 when the
printer is in A756 emulation mode. In A760 native mode,
the command takes a parameter to enable and disable it.
Related information
Printer output is the same as in emphasized mode.
