Sounds to me like you are sending the '+' character right after the ESC.
The following line of BASIC code will send a control code to activate
italic mode on an Epson FX-series printer:

	LPRINT CHR$(27) + "4";
	(or)
	LPRINT CHR$(27) + CHR$(52);

Remember to end the string sent to the printer with ';' or you will
get an unwanted line feed.
