Select or Cancel White/Black Reverse Print Mode

This command turns on White/Black reverse printing mode. This command is only available in 7158 Native Mode and 7167 Native Mode. In White/Black reverse printing mode, print dots and non-print dots are reversed, which means that white characters are formed by printing a black background. When the White/Black reverse printing mode is selected it is also applied to character spacing which is set by Right-Side Character Spacing (1B 20).

ASCII	GS b n
Hexadecimal	1D 42 n
Decimal	29 66 n
Value of n	•0—Off •1—On Note: Only the lowest bit is used.
Range of n	0–255
Default of n	0 (Off)

This command can be used with built-in characters and user-defined characters, but does not affect the space between lines. White/Black Reverse Print Mode does not affect bit image, downloaded bit image, bar code, HRI characters, and spacing skipped by Horizontal Tab (09), Set Absolute Starting Position (1B 24…), and Set Relative Print Position (1B 5C).

White/Black reverse mode has a higher priority than Underline Mode. When Underline Mode is on and White/Black Reverse Print Mode is selected, Underline Mode is disabled, but not canceled.

Example:   

MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1D) & Chr$(&H42) & Chr$(n)

Note:  This is only available in 7158 Native Mode and 7167 Native Mode.
