1. Overview
1.1 Key terms
Real-time
commands:
These commands are act ed on immediately upon being received by the
printer ;
Page mode:
Under this mode, the printer stores all data in a specified memory and thinks
of this as a virtual page. The page is printed when the printer receives print
command either FF or ESC FF;
Standard mode:
Standard mode is the default mode of printer, namely line mode. Under this
mode, the printer prints data and feeds paper upon print line buffer full (data
is enough for one print line) or receiving print command like LF;
HRI character:
Bar code note character. Human Readable Interface;
NV:
Non-volatile memory in which data stored does not loss when powered off.
NV: Non- volatile;
RAM :
Random Access Memory;
ASB：Auto Send Back
DPI:
Print dots per inch (one inch equals to 25.4mm). It is us ed to identify the
resolution of a printer.
1.2 Command Notation
[Name]
The name of the command.
[Format]
The code sequence.
[ ]k indicates the contents in brackets [ ] should be repeated k times.
[Range]
Gives the allowable ranges, if any, for the command parameters.
[Default]
Gives the default values, if any, for the arguments.
[Description]
Describes the function of the command.
” − “ in the table indicates 0 or 1.
[Notes]
Provides important information on setting and using the printer command, if
necessary.
[Reference]
Gives references, if any.

2.Printing command set
HT
[Name]
Horizontal tab
[Format]
ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 9
[Dscription]
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.
•Set Horizontal tab default to 8 character width of character ASCII (12×24).
•When the print buffer is full，the printer performs the following actions：
In standard mode，the printer prints the current line and sets the print position to the
beginning of the line.
In page mode, the printer sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
LF
[Name]
Print the contents in the print buffer
[Format]
ASCII LF
Hex 0A
Decimal 10
[Dscription]
Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line, based on the current line spacing
[Notes]
• This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
•When this command is processed in page mode, only the print position moves,
and the printer does not perform actual printing.
FF
[Name]
Print and feed the paper to the next page
[Format]
ASCII FF
Hex OC
Decimal 12
[Dscription]
Paper type is continuous paper
[Notes]
• This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
•When this command is processed in page mode, only the print position moves,
and the printer does not perform actual printing.
• In page mode, prints all the data in the print buffer collectively and switches from
page mode to standard mode.
• This command is equivalent to LF in standard mode.
• This command returns the values set by ESC W to the default values.
Paper type is marked paper :
• In page mode, prints all the data in the print buffer,not to return to standard
mode ,not clear the data in the print buffer. The printer feeds the marked paper
to the next print starting position after finished printing.Don’t change horizontal
and vertical coordinates in the print buffer.
• This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.

CR
[Name]
Print and carriage return
[Format]
ASCII CR
Hex 0D
Decimal 13
[Dscription]
When the command is allowed, it functions in the same way as LF; when it is not, the
command is ignored.
[Notes]
•Set the print position to the beginning of the line.
•Whether the command is allowed or not only up to the factory defaults.
CAN
[Name]
Cancel print data in page mode
[Format]
ASCII CAN
Hex 18
Decimal 24
[Dscription]
Delete all the print data for the current print job in page mode.
[Notes]
• This command is effective only in the page mode.
•If the regional set up previously overlaped with the current area, the overlap
will be deleted.
DLE EOT n
[Name]
Real-time status transmission
[Format]
ASCII DLE EOT n
Hex 10 04 n
Decimal 16 4 n
[Range]
1 ≤ n ≤ 4
[Dscription]
• The status is transmitted whenever the data sequence <10>H<04>H<n>(1 ≤ n ≤4) is
received.
Example:In ESC ∗m nL nH d1...dk, d1=<10>H, d2=<04>H, d3=<01>H
• Do not use this command within another command that consists of 2 or more bytes.
Example:If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host
computer) goes to MARK before nis transmitted and then
DLE EOT 3interrupts before nis received, the code <10>H for DLE
EOT 3is processed as the code for ESC 3 <10>H.
• The printer transmits the current status. Each status item is represented by one-byte
of data.
• The printer transmits the status without confirming whether the host computer can
receive data.
• The printer executes this command upon receiving it.
• This command is executed even when the printer is offline, the receive buffer is full, or
there is an error status with a serial interface model.

[Dscription]
• With a parallel interface model, this command cannot be executed when the printer is
busy. This command is executed even when the printer is offline or in error status, when
Memory Switch 1-3 is on with a parallel interface model.
• When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using the GS a command, the status
transmitted by the DLE EOT command and the ASB status must be differentiated. (Refer
to Appendix C, TRANSMISSION STATUS IDENTIFICATION.)
