Once the printer has initialised handshaking should be resumed Since the NUL character is non printable this procedure may be followed even if the printer is awake and will not cause unwanted characters to be printed To enable the auto wake up facility place DIP switch 8 in the UP position If the switch is in the DOWN position the printer will remain operational until turned off via the power switch If auto wake up Is enabled the printer may not turn on when power is applied via the power switch Sending a NUL character will cause the printer to power up normally Software Selectable Functions Bold Country Code Decimal Hex Underiine USA ESCRO 27820 1B 52 00 Double height France ESCR1 27821 1B 52 01 Double Width Germany ESCR2 27822 1B 52 02 Graphics UK ESCR3 27823 1B 52 03 Denmark ESCR4 27824 1B5204 Horizontal tab plus setting Sweden ESCR5 27825 1B5205 Form feed plus setting Italy ESCR6 27826 1B5206 11 selectable international character sets see right Spain ESCR7 27827 1B5207 ae Japan FSCR8 27828 1B5208 eee printing Norway ESCR9 27829 1B5209 Denmark II ESC R10 278210 1B520A Barcodes Control Codes and Escape Sequences Function Horizontal tab Line feed Form feed Carriage return Double width on Double width off Cancel Set print mode Set barcode start position Set bit image 8 pin single density Set bit image 8 pin single density Set bit image 24 pin single density Set bit image 24 pin s
