[Notes]

  • The character size set by this command is effective for alphanumeric, Kana, multilingual, and user-defined characters.
  • When the characters are enlarged with different heights on one line, all the characters on the line are aligned at the Baseline.
  • When the characters are enlarged widthwise, the characters are enlarged to the right, based on the left side of the character.
  • ESC ! can also turn double-width and double-height modes on or off.
  • In Standard mode, the character is enlarged in the paper feed direction when double-height mode is selected, and it is enlarged perpendicular to the paper feed direction when double-width mode is selected. However, when character orientation changes in 90° clockwise rotation mode, the relationship between double-height and double-width is reversed.
  • in Page mode, double-height and double-width are on the character orientation.
  • The setting of the character size of alphanumeric and Katakana is effective until ESC ! is executed, ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
  • The setting of the character size of Kanji and multilingual characters is effective until FS ! is executed, FS W is executed, ESC @ is executed, the printer is reset, or the power is turned off.
