1. OUTLINE
1.1OperationMode 
CT-S280 has ESC/POSTM as control commands.
1.2CharacterSet 
All print data sent from the host computer to the printer are automatically converted to one-byte alphanumeric
or katakana characters (ANK) or two-byte Kanji corresponding to the characters and symbols.
NOTE: For the contents of character set, refer to Character Code Table of this document.
1.3 Control Commands 
1.3.1 Control Command Details
Control Commands are used for controlling the operations of the printer such as starting/stopping of
printing, line feeding, paper feeding, etc. They control all functions related to printing, such as type of
characters, enlargement of characters or setting of format.
1.3.2 How to Send Control Commands
Some methods are available for sending Control Commands from the host computer to the printer. Here, a
method of sending by BASIC programming is explained.
Example 1
Let’s print a character string “CITIZEN” in enlarged (double-height, double-width) and in normal format.
Program coding
The Control Command shows that the command name for setting the size of a character is GS !. Let’s
make
a program using this code. An example is shown below.
ProgramList PrintResult
In lines 20 and 50, setting and canceling of enlarging a character is sent. As a result, lines 30 and 60 print
the same character string but line 30 prints enlarged characters and line 60 cancels the enlargement and
prints in normal format.
* In this document, sample programs are in BASIC. For details of BASIC programming, refer to the manual
for BASIC.
10 A$="CITIZEN"
20 LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"!"; CHR$(&H33);
30 LPRINT A$;
40 LPRINT CHR$(&HA); CHR$(&HA);
50 LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"!"; CHR$(&H00);
60 LPRINT A$;

[Outline] (1) When memory switch 1-5 is OFF:
This command is ignored.
(2) When memory switch 1-5 is ON:
The same operation as LF is executed.
[See Also] LF

FF
[Function] Printing in PAGE MODE and returning to STANDARD MODE (at the selection of
PAGE MODE)
[Code] <0C>H
[Outline] Executes a batch printout of the data mapped in the entire print area, and then returns
to STANDARD MODE.
[Caution] • All mapped data is erased after printout.
• The print area set up by ESC W is initialized.
• After this command is executed, the beginning of the line is taken as the start
position for the next print.
• This command is only effective when the PAGE MODE is selected.
[See Also] Appendix 4.1.4 “Example of Using PAGE MODE”
ESC FF, ESC L, ESC S

- 13 -
ESC FF
[Function] Printing data in PAGE MODE
[Code] <1B>H<0C>H
[Outline] Executes a batch printout of the data mapped in the entire print area in PAGE MODE.
[Caution] • This command is only effective when PAGE MODE is selected.
• Mapped data, as well as the ESC T and ESC W settings, and the character mapping
position are held even after printing.
[See Also] Appendix 4.1 “Explanation on PAGE MODE”
FF, ESC L, ESC S
ESC J n
[Function] Printing and feeding paper in minimum pitch
[Code] <1B>H<4A>H<n>
[Range] 0≤n≤255
[Outline] Prints the data held in the print buffer and feeds paper by [n x basic calculation pitch]
inches.
[Caution] • After this command is executed, the beginning of the line is taken as the start
position for the next print.
• The line feed width can be set separately for the STANDARD and PAGE MODES.
• This command does not affect the line feed width defined by ESC 2 or ESC 3.
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the vertical (paper feed direction) basic
calculation pitch (y).
• In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses
the vertical (Paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses
the horizontal (Perpendicular to the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch
(x).
The maximum settable line feed width is 1016 mm (40 inches). A setting greater
than this maximum is trimmed to the maximum.
[Default] The initial value is not defined.
[Sample Program] Refer to Sample Program and Print Results for ESC 2.

- 14 -
ESC d n
[Function] Printing and feeding the paper by “n” lines
[Code] <1B>H<64>H<n>
[Range] 0≤n≤255
[Outline] Prints data in the print buffer and feeds paper by “n” lines. Specified lines do not
remain.
[Caution] • After this command is executed, the beginning of the line is taken as the start
position for the next print.
• If [n x line feed width] exceeds approximately 1016 mm, this command feeds paper
by approximately 1016 mm (40 inches).
[Default] The initial value is not defined.
[Sample Program]
LPRINT "AAAAA";
LPRINT CHR$(&H1B);"d"; CHR$(2);
LPRINT "AAAAA"; CHR$(&HA);
[Print Results]
AAAAA
2/6-inch line feed
AAAAA

2.2.2 Print Character Commands
CAN
[Function] Canceling print data in PAGE MODE
[Code] <18>H
[Outline] Erases all data contained in the currently effective print area in PAGE MODE.
[Caution] • This command is only effective when PAGE MODE is selected.
• If the previously established print area overlaps the currently effective print area, the
overlapped data in the previously established area will be erased.
[See Also] Appendix 4.1 “Explanation on PAGE MODE”
ESC L, ESC W

- 16 -
ESC SP n
[Function] Setting the right spacing of the character
[Code] <1B>H<20>H<n>
[Range] 0≤n≤255
[Outline] Sets the right spacing of character to [n x basic calculation pitch] inches.
[Caution] • If the horizontal magnification of character is 2 or more, the right spacing increases
with the magnification.
• Does not affect Kanji.
• The right spacing can be set separately for the STANDARD and PAGE MODES.
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. Once defined, the right spacing is not
changed if the basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
• In PAGE MODE, the basic calculation pitch used by this command depends on the
start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses
the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses
the vertical basic calculation pitch (y).
• The maximum right spacing is capable of approximately 31.906 mm (255/203
inches). A setting greater than this maximum is trimmed to the maximum.
[Default] n = 0

ESC ! n
[Function] Collectively specifying the printing mode
[Code] <1B>H<21>H<n>
[Range] 0≤n≤255
[Outline] Printing mode is assigned.

Bit Function 01
0 Character Font Font A (12 x 24) Font B (9 x 24)
1 Undefined — —
2 Undefined — —
3 Emphasis Canceled Specified
4 Double height Canceled Specified
5 Double width Canceled Specified
6 Undefined — —
7 Underline Canceled Specified
[Caution] • With double height and double width being specified simultaneously, quadruple
characters are created.
• An underline is attached to the full character width, which, however, is not attached
to the part having been skipped by the horizontal tab (HT). Neither is it attached to
90°-right-turned characters.
• The underline width is as specified by the ESC – command. (The default setting is 1
dot width.)
• Setting by this command is invalid for Kanji except setting and canceling of
enhanced printing.
• In case characters with different vertical magnification ratios coexist on the same
line, they are printed on the same base line.
• ESC E, ESC M, ESC –, and GS ! can individually set or cancel the mode but the
command processed last is valid.
• Setting or canceling of enhanced 3rd bit is valid for alphanumeric and kana and kanji.
Other print mode is valid only for alphanumeric and kana characters.
• Setting MSW3-7 to ON allows the relation between length and width for a
character to be reversed when specifying 90°-right-turned characters.
