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.

Hexadecimal 1B 45 n
Decimal 27 69 n
Value of n: 0 (bit 0) not selected

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 multi-part 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 multi-part 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.
