2.Control Commands
HT
[Name] Horizontal tab
[Format] ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 9
[Description] Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
[Notes]
This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has
been set.
If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer
sets the printing position to [printing area width + 1].
Horizontal tab positions are set with ESC D.
If this command is received when the printing position is at [printing
area width + 1], the printer executes print buffer-full printing of the
current line and horizontal tab processing from the beginning of the
next line.
[Reference] ESC D
LF
[Name] Print and line feed
[Format] ASCII LF
Hex 0A
Decimal 10
[Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line, based on the
current line spacing.
[Note] This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
[Reference] ESC 2, ESC 3
CR
[Name] Print and carriage return
[Format] ASCII CR
Hex 0D
Decimal 13
[Description] When automatic line feed is enabled, this command functions the
same as LF; when automatic line feed is disabled, this command is
ignored.

6
[Notes] This command line feed is ignored with a serial interface model.
Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.
[Reference] LF
ESC SPn
[Name] Set right-side character spacing
[Format] ASCII ESC SP n
Hex 1B 20 n
Decimal 27 32 n
[Range] 0 n 255
[Description] Sets the character spacing for the right side of the character to [n×
0.125 mm (n×0.0049”)].
[Notes] The right-side character spacing for double-width mode is twice the
normal value. When characters are enlarged, the right-side character
spacing is n times normal value.
This command does not affect the setting of Kanji characters
This command sets values independently in standard mode.
[Default] n = 0
ESC ! n
[Name] Select print mode(s)
[Format] ASCII ESC ! n
Hex 1B 21 n
Decimal 27 33 n
[Range] 0 n 255
[Description] Selects print mode(s) using n as follows:
ESC $ nL nH
[Name] Set absolute print position
[Format] ASCII ESC $ nL nH
Hex 1B 24 nL nH
Decimal 27 36 nL nH
[Range] 0 nL 255
0 nH 255
[Description] Sets the distance from the beginning of the line to the position at
which subsequent characters are to be printed.
The distance from the beginning of the line to the print position is
[(nL + nH×256)×0.125 mm].
[Notes] Settings outside the specified printable area are ignored.

7
In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.

ESC % n
[Name] Select/cancel user-defined character set
[Format] ASCII ESC% n
Hex 1B 25 n
Decimal 27 37 n
[Range] 0 n 255
[Description] Selects or cancels the user-defined character set.
When the LSB of n is 0, the user-defined character set is canceled.
When the LSB of n is 1, the user-defined character set is selected.
[Notes] When the user-defined character set is canceled, the built-in
character set is automatically selected.
n is available only for the least significant bit.
[Default] n = 0
[Reference] ESC &, ESC ?
ESC & y c1 c2 [x1 d1...d(y x1)]...[xk d1...d(y xk)]
[Name] Define user-defined characters

0 x 12 (when Font A (12×24) is selected)
0 d1 ... d(y×xk) 255
[Description] Defines user-defined characters.
y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction.
c1 specifies the beginning character code for the definition, and c2
specifies the final code.
x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.
[Notes] The allowable character code range is from ASCII code <20>H to
<7E>H (95 characters).
It is possible to define multiple characters for consecutive character
codes. If only one character is desired, use c1 = c2.
d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the
horizontal direction from the left side. Any remaining dots on the right
side are blank.
The data to define user-defined characters is (y×x) bytes.
Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or 0 not to print a dot.
This command can define different user-defined character patterns
for each font. To select a font, use ESC !
User-defined characters and a downloaded bit image cannot be
defined simultaneously. When this command is executed, the
downloaded bit image is cleared.
The user-defined character definition is cleared when:
1) ESC @ is executed.
2) GS is executed.
3) ESC ? is executed.
4) The power is turned off.
[Default] The internal character set
[Reference] ESC %, ESC ?

When Font A (12×24) is selected.

[Notes] If the value of m is out of the specified range, nL and nH the data
following are processed as normal data.
The nL and nH indicate the number of dots in the bit image in the
horizontal direction. The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH
256.
If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed
on a line, the excess data is ignored.
d indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a
dot or to 0 not to print a dot.
After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data
processing mode.
This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized,
double-strike, underline, character size, or white/black reverse
printing), except upside-down printing mode.
The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is
described in Figure 3.11.3.
