VERSAJET MP3200 Introduction
Thank you for choosing VERSAJET MP3200 Series Mobile Printer. The MP3200 series mobile printer is
designed with rugged yet lightweight architecture, delivering the ultimate convenience of mobility to meet your
on-demand labels and receipts printing requirements.
To meet various wireless communication requirements, the MP3200 series comes with two different models
- MP3200 and MP3200BT. RS232C and IrDA communication interfaces are supported on both models.
Moreover, the MP3200BT is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices by incorporating Bluetooth 1.2
wireless technology. You can select the most suitable model to fulfill your demand.
This Programming Guide provides complete descriptions on command functions and instruct programmer to
configure your MP3200(BT) efficiently. If you need more information, please contact your supplier or visit our
web site for details.
This guide is organized into the following chapters:

Introduction
Programming Reference
VERSAJET MP3200 JCL Command Sets
ESC/POS (Epson Standard Code for Point of Sales) is one of the most world-popular command sets, which was
designed to provide the expandability and universal applicability demanded by the market. The JCL (Job Control
Language) is the proprietary printer language of Cino mobile printer supporting ESC/POS emulation. This not
only shortens user’s learning cycle, but also minimizes the system intetration efforts.
Furthermore, the MP3200(BT) possesses more practical and useful command sets than ESC/POS., such as the
manipulation on serialization, graphics and 2D bar codes printing. You may refer to “Command Comparison
between JCL and ESC/POS “ for more details.

[Name] The name of the command.
[Format] The code sequence.
[Range] Gives the allowable ranges for the arguments.
[Default] Gives the default values, if any, for the command parameters.
[Description] Describes the command’s function.

VERSAJET MP3200 Explanation of Terms
(1) Receive buffer
The receive buffer is a buffer that stores, as is, the data received from the host (the reception data). The
reception data is stored in the receive buffer temporarily, and is then processed sequentially.
(2) Print buffer
The print buffer is a buffer that stores the image data to be printed.
(3) Print buffer full
This is the state where the print buffer is full. If new print data is input while the print buffer is full, the data in
the print buffer is printed out and a line feed is executed. This is the same operation as the LF operation.
(4) Start of line
The start of line state satisfies the following condition:
There is no print data (including spaces and portions of data skipped due to bit image data) currently in
the print buffer.
There is no print data (including portions of data skipped due to HT)
The print position is not specified by the ESC $ or ESC \ command.

approximately 48 mm {1.89 "}
The length of the horizontal direction in page mode:
approximately 48 mm {1.89 "}
The length of the vertical direction in page mode:

(6) Printing area
Printing range is set by the command. It must be printing area printable area.
(7) Ignore
The state in which all codes, including parameters, are read in and discarded, and nothing happens.
(8) Inch
A unit of length. One inch is 25.4 mm.
