Escape sequence setting on Proprinter II

I have a program running under dos that requires escape sequence codes from my printer manual to set up printer
for this program.  I have an IBM proprinter II and the
manual with the escape sequences.  Problem is I have never
done this and don't know how I need to put the right thing
in the places provided.
----------------------------
SET UP PRINTER

PROCEED WITH SETUP (Y/N):Y

ENTER ESCAPE SEQUENCE FROM PRINTER MANUAL TO SET
    PITCH _ _ _  0 (10 CHARACTERS PER INCH)
          _ _ _ 12 (12 CHARACTERS PER INCH)
          _ _ _  0 (16 CHARACTERS PER INCH)
    LINES _ _ _  6 (6 LINES PER INCH)
          _ _ _  8 (8 LINES PER INCH)
    MODE  _ _ _  1 (DRAFT, BOLD, EMPHASIZED, ETC.

ENTER DESIRED PITCH (CPI): 12  MARGIN: 8
(WE SUGGEST MARGIN OF 0 FOR 10 CPI, 8 FOR 12 CPI, 20 FOR 16)

you may leave mode set to "0 0 0" if you plan to print all
outputs in draft mode.  However you must fill in all other
entries.

manual gives 8 lines per inch as (ESC 0)
             12 caracters-per-inch (ESC :)

How do I enter these codes into all the fields each _ is a
field.  Or am I totally off base here??
