Command Description For The 1000 Printer
TAB (09H)
Tab stops occur at every 8th column. On receipt of this
command, spaces are entered into the line up to the next tab
stop.
LINE FEED (0AH)
Prints the current line and feeds one line. If LF and CR are
sent, the CR is ignored to avoid a double feed.
FORM FEED (0BH)
Will feed 4 fast line feeds.
VERTICAL TAB (0CH,n)
Fast feeds the paper by n lines where n is a single byte hex
number in the range 0 < n < 63. Note that a vertical tab will
print the contents of the line buffer before being executed.
CR (0DH)
Prints the current line and feeds one line. If CR and LF are
sent, the LF is ignored to avoid a double feed.
On the receipt of the last printable character (e.g. 24 characters
for the 1012), the printer will automatically print the data in the
buffer. If CR and LF are sent after this condition, they will be
ignored.
DOUBLE WIDTH (0EH)
Turns double width printing on. This state continues until
terminated by the single width command or completion of the
current line.
If the last character in the line buffer is double width, but there
is only room for a single width character, then it will be printed
in single width.
SINGLE WIDTH (0FH)
Reverts to single width printing. Single and double width can
be combined anywhere on a line.
RESET (11H)
Causes printer status reset. Printer status is set to single width,
normal height, no underline. Note that the buffer remains
unaltered to avoid any data loss.
UNDERLINE (15H)
Characters sent after this command will be underlined. Tabs
are not underlined. Underlining is terminated by the U/L
release command or on completion of the current line.
U/L RELEASE (18H)
Terminates underlining.
REVERSE PRINT(19H)
This command sets the print to white on black. The command
will toggle between reverse and normal print wherever it
appears on a line, but the condition is always reset at the end of
the line.
