Default Table

Note the last two codes of the usual ASCII character sets are not supported. Instead, if CHR$(126), which corresponds to hexadecimal 7E, is received by the 1220 printer, it will print the character defined in its RAM (Random Access Memory). The section on USER Programmable Character describes how this RAM can be loaded with any 6 x 8 pattern.

Sending this control code will turn OFF the reverse field mode that is selected using control code 25.

Send this control code to turn ON the reverse field printing mode. This will print white letters on a dark background. Do not print more than three reverse field print lines. Also, do not print more than a few empty spaces in a reverse field. The printer may become overloaded and stop printing.

This control code is used when setting the printer’s various configuration parameters.

The printer powers up in the column mode last selected by configuration. You can change the column width by sending the appropriate control code from the list below:

Control code 29 - 24 columns Control code 30 - 32 columns Control code 31 - 40 columns

You can send the control code at any point on a line before the buffer becomes filled. You cannot change column widths on the same line.

The Model 1220 printer can produce all ASCII characters from hex 20 through hex 7D (decimal 32 through 125). Here’s what they look like:
