9 Pin Dot Matrix Printing
Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2019 4:54 pm
We have found an issue in the latest software when emulating an Epson ESC/P printer.
The 9 pin printers used slightly different versions of the ESC 3 and ESC A control codes -
a) On a 9 pin printer, the ESC 3 command uses n/216" line spacing, compared with the n/180" line spacing used for ESC/P and ESC/P2
b) On a 9 pin printer, the ESC A command uses n/72" line spacing, compared with the n/60" line spacing used for ESC/P and ESC/P2
We have created a new version of the software to cope with this (with a new epson_pins configuration setting) but are just waiting on feedback from the user who reported this issue, before we release it to everyone else.
