[Notes] •Theallowable charactercode rangeis fromASCII 20H(32) to7EH (126)(95

• The data to define a user-defined character is ( x x y) bytes.
• To print a dot, set the corresponding bit to 1; to not have it print, set to 0.
•Thiscommand candefine differentuser-defined characterpatternsfor eachfont.To
select the font, use $1B $21.
•Auser-defined characterand adownloaded bitimage cannotbe definedsimultaneously.
When this command is executed, the downloaded bit image is cleared.

[Notes] • The nL and nH commands indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal
direction. The number of dots is calculated using: 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.
• dindicates the bit image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot, or to 0 to not
print the dot.
• If the value of mis outside the specified range, nL and data following it are processed
asnormal data.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION
TK100 12 - Commands Reference
• If the width of the printing area set by $1D $4C and $1D $57 is less than the width
required by the data set using $1B $2A , the excess data are ignored.
• To print the bit image use $1B $4A or $1B $64.
•After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing mode.
• This command is not affected by the emphasized, double-strike, underline (etc.) print
modes,except forthe upside-downmode.
• The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as follows:

Decimal 27 92 nL nH
[Range] 0 ≤ nL ≤ 255
0 ≤ nH ≤ 255
[Description] Sets the print starting position based on the current position by using the horizontal or
verticalmotion unit.
Sets the distance from the current position to [(nL+ nH × 256)× (horizontal or vertical
motionunit)].
[Notes] • It’s possible to print further on the right margin set for every font. In this case the
printing continues up to the maximum border of the printer mechanism and then begins a
newrow.
•Any setting that exceeds the printable area is ignored.
• When the starting position is specified by nmotion units to the right:
nL + nH × 256 = n
When the starting position is specified by nmotion units to the left (negative direction),
usethe complementof 65536:
nL + nH × 256 = 65536 – n
• If setting exceeds the printing area width, the left or right margin is set to the default
value.

•$1D $50 can changethe horizontal(andvertical) motionunits.However,the value
cannotbe lessthan the minimumhorizontal movementamount.
• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
• Setting the right value, it’s possible to print characters over the right edge.
