Download font coding ........ ESC @ D 1B 40 44 27 64 68 This sequence downloads a font to the printer. Variable a1
a1 a2 n1 n2 a1 a2 n1 n2 a1 a2 n1 n2 is the number assigned to the font. The Set Font escape
coding coding coding sequence uses this number to identify and select the font.
Normally, the first font downloaded is assigned 255 (FF
hex), the second font downloaded is assigned 254 (FE hex),
and so on. Variable a2 must always be 00 hex. Variable
n2 and n1 are a 16-bit number that specifies the number of
bytes in the font coding. Variable n2 is the high-order byte;
n1 is the low-order byte. The font coding must conform to
a prescribed binary coding format.
Note: For more detailed information on this escape se-
quence, refer to AMT Technical Notes––Downloading
Fonts, available separately from AMT.
Print character assigned ... ESC Y 1B 59 27 89 This sequence prints the character assigned to code 20 hex,
to code 20 hex which the printer normally interprets as a space.
Print character assigned ... ESC Z 1B 5A 27 90 This sequence prints the character assigned to code 7F hex,
to code 7F hex which the printer normally ignores.
Start print suppression ..... ESC 7 1B 37 27 55 This sequence starts the print supression mode, wherein the
printer replaces all printable characters with spaces. A
carriage return ends the print suppression mode.

Backward printing These sequences control backward printing, wherein the
Start ................................ ESC 6 1B 36 27 54 printer reverses the direction of normal spacing, back-
End ................................. ESC 5 1B 35 27 53 spacing, and character escapement. A space moves the
current print position one space to the left, a backspace
moves the current print position to the right, and character
escapement is to the left. Backward printing does not affect
horizontal tabbing or absolute moves, carriage returns, or
paper movement functions. A carriage return or End
Backward Printing sequence ends backward printing.
