reduce the font size while printing using OPOS printer for receipt

Question

How can we reduce the size of text/font while printing using an OPOS printer? I am using an Epson printer and the following softare components for making this work.

OPOS ADK for .Net
Microsoft POS for .Net

command used for printing a line is

m_Printer.PrintNormal(PrinterStation.Receipt, "\u001b|cA" + "noob is printing"+ "\n");

Is ther any escape charater for reducing the font size? RecLineChars is set as 42.

We use the following:

// Scale the font to OPOS (1 to 4)
int fontSize = (int)Math.Round((format.FontSize.Value - 5) / 5.0);
if (fontSize < 1)
    fontSize = 1;
if (fontSize > 4)
    fontSize = 4;
_printerText += string.Format("\x1B|{0}C", fontSize);

i know this setting.. But what i wanted to know is if we can choose a font size less than 1. ie, 0.5 or something.. – TutuGeorge Sep 17 '12 at 12:31
i dont think that it is possible. If you want something like that you should print via graphics. – GorillaApe Dec 09 '12 at 16:52
@TutuGeorge have you found the solution for this? – Riyas Dec 17 '19 at 09:45
