FF (Page Mode)
[Function] Printing in PAGE MODE and returning to STANDARD 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.
• This command does not execute a paper cut.
• 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] ESC FF, ESC L, ESC S, GS FF
FF (Standard Mode)
[Function] Printing and paper feeding to the top of the label (Black mark
position)
[Code] <0C>H
[Outline] This command prints the data in the printer buffer and searches
for the head of the next label (Black mark position)
[Caution] This command is valid only when the label printer is selected
with DS2-7. It is ignored when the thermal paper is specified.
After sending one label worth of print data, be sure to send this
command or GS FF command. After the user intentionally
moved the label paper, this command cannnot search for the
head of the label properly.

[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] ESC L, ESC W

DLE EOT n
[Function] Sending status in real-time
[Code] <10>H<04>H<n>
[Range] 1 n 4
[Outline] Sends in real-time the status specified by “n”.
[Caution] • Each status represents the current status. It is 1 byte data.
• The status is transferred without checking whether the host is
ready to receive or busy.
• This command is executed even if the printer is in offline state,
receive-buffer full state, or error state.
• This command is dealt with when it is received.
• If another data string of <10>H<04>H<n> (1 n 4) is
received, the printer acts the same way as with this command.
Therefore, the user should be reminded of this fact.
[Example 1]
Suppose a command “ESC * mnL nH [d1 ... dk]”, where d1 =
<10>H, d2 = <04>H, d3 = <01>H.
• The DLE EOT n command cannot be interleaved into the code
string of another command consisting of 2 bytes or more.
[Example 2]
If the printer sends DLE EOT 3 after the host has sent up to ESC
3 in its attempt to send ESC 3 n, the printer handles the ESC 3
as ESC 3 <10>H. Thus, the user should be cautious.
• If ASB (Automatic Status Back) is enabled by GS a, it is
necessary to discriminate between the status due to ASB and
the status due to this command.

DLE ENQ n
[Function] Real-time request to printer
[Code] <10>H<05>H<n>
[Range] 1 n 2
[Outline] The printer responds in real-time to the request that the host
specifies with number “n”.
[Caution] • This command is only effective if an auto cutter error has
occurred.
• This command is dealt with when it is received.
• This command is also executed even if the printer is in a
receive-buffer full state.
• If another data string of <10>H<05>H<n> (1 n 2) is received,
the printer acts in the same way as with this command. The
user should, therefore, be reminded of this fact.
[Example 1]
If, for example, a command “ESC * m nL nH {d} k”, where d1 =
<10>H, d2=<05>H, d3=<01>H1, is given, the DLE ENQ n
command cannot be interleaved into the code string of another
command consisting of two bytes or more.
[Example 2]
• If the printer sends DLE ENQ 2 when the host has sent up to
ESC 3 in its attempt to send ESC 3 n, the printer treats the ESC
3 as ESC 3 <10>H. Thus, the user should be careful.
• Even if DLE ENQ 2 is executed, the settings made by, for
example, ESC ! and ESC 3 retain the conditions when the error
occurred. A combined use of this command and ESC @ can
completely initialize the printer.
[See Also] DLE EOT
n Function
1
After recovering from an error, the printer resumes
printing from the beginning of the line where the error
occurred.
2 The printer clears the receive buffer and the print buffer,
and then recovers from the error.

DLE DC4 n m t
[Function] Outputting specified pulse in real-time.
[Code] <10>H<14>H<n><m><t>
[Range] n=1, m=0,1
1 t 8
[Outline] A signal specified with “t” is output to the connector pin
specified with “m”.
m Connector pin
0 Pin No. 2 of drawer Kick-Out Connector
1 Pin No. 5 of drawer Kick-Out Connector
[Details] • On-time and off-time are set at t ×100 msec, respectively.
• In case an error occurred during the processing of this
command, the command is ignored.
• In case (ESC p or DLE DC4 under execution), during the
processing of this command the command is ignored.
• This command will be processed as it is received.
• In specification of serial interface, the command is executed
even in offline, reception buffer full and error conditions.
• In specification of parallel interface, this command cannot be
executed while the printer is BUSY.
• This command will be valid, even if specifying the printer is
invalid due to the selection of peripheral units (ESC =).
[Caution] • If another command with the same data string as this is
received, the printer operates the same way as with this
command. The user should, therefore, be careful.
• The command cannot be inserted in another string of
commands which consist of codes of 2 bytes or more.
[Reference] ESC p

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] FF, ESC L, ESC S
ESC RS
[Function] Sound Buzzer
[Code] <1B>H<1E>H
[Outline] Sound the buzzer for 200 ms.
[Caution] This command is buffered before execution.
[Sample Program] LPRINT CHR$(&H1B);CHR$(&H1E);
[Execution Result] The buzzer sounds for approx. 200 ms.

— 17 —
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 ×basic calculation pitch]
inches.
[Caution] • If the horizontal magnification of character is 2 or more, the
right spacing increases with the magnification.
• 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.
