Thermal printer - Small Font

Post by SrBatracio »

Hi there,
I'm making a project with the adafruit thermal printer: https://www.adafruit.com/product/597 .
I'm trying to print very small font (smaller than the default size). I'm able to enlarge the letters by using the command.

Code: Select all

void largeFont(int val){
  thermalPrinter.write(29); 
  thermalPrinter.write(33);
  thermalPrinter.write(val);
}
However I cannot find in the manual any command to reduce the characters size, ¿Do you have any suggestions about how to do it?
Thanks in advance,
SrBatracio
P.s. I've managed to reduce it a bit by changing the print mode (Command: 27 33 n=1), I'm not sure why by setting n=1 I get smaller characters, but unfortunately is not small enough.

The default is as small as it goes. There is no smaller font.
