ESC p Turn Proportional Mode On/Off Format: ASCII code: ESC p n Decimal: 27 172 n Hexadecimal: 1B 70 n Comments: Turns proportional mode on and off. The following values can be used for n: 1: Turns mode on. 0: Turns mode off. The width of proportional characters varies from character to character. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less space than a wide letter like W. Proportional character widths are given in the Appendix. This command overrides the condensed mode and fixed cpi fonts. When proportional is cancelled, the previously selected font is used. Graphic characters are printed in fixed cpi only; proportional mode is only available in Roman and Sans Serif fonts. SI Format: ASCII code: SI Decimal: 15 Hexadecimal: 0F Select Condensed Mode Comments: Prints characters at about 60 percent of their normal width. For example, the condensed 10 cpi mode has 17 characters per inch. Proportional characters override the condensed mode. Condensed mode cannot be combined with 15 cpi. Condensed can also be turned on and off by the ESC SI command. Command Summary 9-27
