Configuring the Proprinter III XL Emulation with Control Codes
Dot Density Versus Printing Speed
When you select ESC K (normal density), the dot columns are printed at 60
dots per inch (dpi) horizontally and 72 dpi vertically. This does not decrease
printing speed.
dots per inch (dpi) horizontally and 72 dpi vertically. This does not decrease
printing speed.
If ESC L (double density) is selected, the dot columns are printed at 120 dpi
horizontally and 72 dpi vertically. Double density reduces printing speed by
one half.

one half.
With ESC Y (double density, double speed), dot columns are printed at 120
dpi horizontally and 72 dpi vertically, but adjacent dots are not printed. Double
density, double speed does not decrease printing speed.

density, double speed does not decrease printing speed.
When ESC Z (quadruple density) is selected, the dot columns are printed at
240 dpi horizontally and 72 dpi vertically. Quadruple density reduces printing
speed by one half.
240 dpi horizontally and 72 dpi vertically. Quadruple density reduces printing
speed by one half.
All line-by-line character print attributes are ignored in Bit Image graphics. The
most significant bit for each data character is the uppermost dot position in the
vertical dot image pattern. A bit value of 1 indicates a dot; a value of 0
indicates a blank. In 7-bit RS-232E serial interface protocol, the most
significant bit (bit 8) is cleared to 0.

Code Page and Character Set Control Codes
A code page is a set of symbols consisting of letters, numbers, and graphic
elements. For the Proprinter III XL emulation, your printer supports characters
from IBM’s Code Page 0437 and Code Page 0850, among an extensive array
of different print quality and print language sets. The print language sets are
selected using the Print Language configuration menu option, which is
described in detail in your
elements. For the Proprinter III XL emulation, your printer supports characters
from IBM’s Code Page 0437 and Code Page 0850, among an extensive array
of different print quality and print language sets. The print language sets are
selected using the Print Language configuration menu option, which is
described in detail in your
User’s Manual.
Two columns of characters, hex 80 through 9F, may be configured as either
control codes or printable symbols. Control code ESC 7 selects Character Set
1 (hex 80-9F configured as control codes). Control code ESC 6 selects
Character Set 2 (hex 80-9F configured as printable symbols).

Ignored Codes
The control codes recognized by the Proprinter III XL emulation software are
described in this chapter. Control codes not described in this chapter are
undefined and ignored. In addition, codes that represent printable characters
(hex 10, 11, 15, 21-7E, and 80-FF) are not available as Proprinter III XL
control codes.

undefined and ignored. In addition, codes that represent printable characters
(hex 10, 11, 15, 21-7E, and 80-FF) are not available as Proprinter III XL
control codes.
The ASCII control code ETX (hex code 03 or 1B 03) is ignored as a Proprinter
III XL control code, but is valid for the Serial Interface Protocol.
