[. . . ] COMMAND DETAILS 2. 1 Description of Items XXXX [Function] [Code] ALL Command Function A sequence of code constituting a command is represented in hexadecimal number for < >H, binary number for < >B, and decimal number for < >, respectively; [ ]k represents a repeat count of k-times. Indicates an argument value (setting range) for the command in hexadecimal number (partly in decimal number). * When used for application other than defined in each control, an error may occur. Describes an initial value in hexadecimal number for the command when accompanied by an argument. [. . . ] · When LF switch is set to Invalid, it cannot be cleared by the Initialize command (ESC @) but is cleared by turning power off. The initial value of n is "0". [Default] [Sample Program] PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1B) + "c5" + CHR$ (0); . . . . . . When enabling the LF switch PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1B) + "c5" + CHR$ (1); . . . . . . When disabling the LF switch -- 37 -- ESC d n [Function] [Code] [Range] [Outline] Printing and Feeding the paper by n lines <1B>H<64>H<n> {0 =< n =< FF(Hex)} Prints data inside the buffer and feeds paper by n lines. The beginning of the line is to be considered as the next printing start position. The initial value is not defined. [Default] [Sample Program] PRINT #1, "AAAAA" PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1B) + "d" + CHR$ (2); PRINT #1, "AAAAA" + CHR$ (&HA); [Print Results] AAAAA > > 2/6-inch line feed AAAAA -- 38 -- ESC v [Function] [Code] [Outline] Transmitting the printer status <1B>H<76>H Current printer status is transmitted. Status sent out consists of 1 byte whose content is as in the table below.

Specifying inverted characters. · Inverted-printing means printing the line at 180° turned. · This is valid only when this is specified at the beginning of a line. · The initial value of n is "0". [Default] [Sample Program] PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1B) + "{" + CHR$ (0); PRINT #1, "AAAAA" + CHR$ (&HA); PRINT #1, "BBBBB" + CHR$ (&HA); PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1B) + "{" + CHR$ (1); PRINT #1, "AAAAA" + CHR$ (&HA); PRINT #1, "BBBBB" + CHR$ (&HA); [Print Results] Inversion Canceled AAAAA BBBBB Inversion Specified -- 41 -- AAAAA BBBBB Paper Feed Direction GS ) n m [Function] [Code] [Range] Setting of printer flags <1D>H<29>H<n><m> {0 =< n =< 8(Hex)} {m = 0 or 1(Hex)} This model has 8 memory switches and selecting, releasing, and changing a function is available with this command. n (Hex) 0 1 2 3 Printing Position No printing Above the bar code Below the bar code Both above and below the bar code The HRI code refers to the bar code-turned characters so that you can read them. GS f [Default] [See Also] [Sample Program] PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1B) + "3" + CHR$ (5); PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1D) + "h" + CHR$ (50); PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1D) + "H" + CHR$ (0); GOSUB BC PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1D) + "H" + CHR$ (1); GOSUB BC PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1D) + "H" + CHR$ (2); GOSUB BC PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1D) + "H" + CHR$ (3); GOSUB BC END BC: PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1D) + "k"; PRINT #1, CHR$ (4); PRINT #1, "12" + CHR$ (0); PRINT #1, CHR$ (&HA); RETURN [Print Results] No Visible Code Printed above Printed below Printed above and below -- 46 -- GS L nL nH [Function] [Code] [Range] Setting the left margin <1D>H<4C>H<nL><nH> {0 =< nL =< FF(Hex)} {0 =< nH =< FF(Hex)} This command sets the left margin specified by nL and nH. The value of the left margin is [(nL + nH × 256) × 1/203] inches. · This command only works when it is entered at the beginning of a line. · The maximum settable left margin is equal to the horizontal printable area. · When mapping character data, if the print area specified is not wide enough to accommodate one character of the current font, only the line for that character data is handled as follows: (1) The print area is extended toward the right to be equivalent to one character of the current font, but not wider than the printable area. (2) If an area for one character cannot be provided as a result of step (1), the print area is extended toward the left. (So, the left margin is decreased. ) · When mapping non-character data (Bit image, downloaded bit image, or bar code), if the print area specified is narrower than 9-bits, only the line for that data is handled as follows: (1) The print area is extended toward the left (So, the left margin is decreased) until it is 9-dot wide, but not wider than the printable area. nL = 0, nH = 0 [Outline] [Caution] [Default] -- 47 -- GS W n [Function] [Code] [Range] Setting the print area width <1D>H<57>H<nL><nH> {0 =< nL =< FF(Hex)} {0 =< nH =< FF(Hex)} Sets the print area width specified by nL and nH. · The print area width will be [(nL + nH × 256) × 1/203] inches. Printable Area [Outline] Left Margin Printable Area With [Caution] · This command only works when it is entered at the beginning of a line. · If the value entered with this command exceeds the printable area for one line, the entire area except the left margin is set as the print area width. [. . . ] Switching Black mark mode Black mark mode is set for disabled at factory. Once black mark mode is enabled, it is effective till receiving disabling command or the battery connector is disconnected. By sending command ESC > which saves setting condition to NV memory, black mark mode can be kept enabled even if battery connector is disconnected. Remarks for programming As it is possible to print on black mark, if user does not want to print on the black mark, it have to be taken care by user side program 5. [. . . ]
