2. Control Command Details
Command
Description
HT
[Name] Horizontal tab
[Format] ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 9
[Range] None
[Default] None
[Printers not featuring this command]
None
[Description]
Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
[Notes]
■ This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.
■ Horizontal tab positions are set by ESC D.
■ If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the print area, the printer sets the print position
to [Print area width + 1].
■ If this command is processed when the print position is at [Print 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.
In this case, in page mode, the printer does not execute printing, but the print position is moved.
■ When underline mode is turned on, the underline will not be printed under the tab space
skipped by this command.

LF
[Name] Print and line feed
[Format] ASCII LF
Hex 0A
Decimal 10
[Range] None
[Default] None
[Printers not featuring this command]
None
[Description]
Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line, based on the current line spacing.
[Notes]
■ The amount of paper fed per line is based on the value set using the line spacing
command (ESC 2 or ESC 3).
■ After printing, the print position moves to the beginning of the line. When a left margin
is set in standard mode, the position of the left margin is 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.

[Range] None
[Description] In page mode, prints all the data in the print buffer collectively and switches from
page mode to standard mode.
[Notes]
■ This command is enabled only in page mode. See FF (in standard mode) to use this
command in standard mode. Page mode can be selected by ESC L or FS L.
■ The data is deleted in the print area after being printed.
■ This command returns the values set by ESC W to the default values.
■ The value set by ESC T is maintained.
■ After printing, the print position moves to the beginning of the line.
When a left margin is set, the position of the left margin is the beginning of the line.

DLE EOT n
[Name] Transmit real-time status
[Format] ASCII DLE EOT n
Hex 10 04 n
Decimal 16 4 n
[Range] 1 ≤ n ≤ 4
[Description] Transmits the real-time status, using n as follows:
n
Function
1
Transmit printer status
2
Transmit offline status
3
Transmit error status
4
Transmit roll paper sensor status
[Notes]
■ This is a real-time command that the printer executes upon receiving it.
Take the following into consideration:
• If this command interrupts the code string of another command, this command is
processed as a parameter of the other command; therefore, the print result will not be
correct.
• If a command such as graphics data or defined data has a code string that is
the same as a code string in a parameter, the printer processes and then continues with
the bit-image or other command.
■ With a serial interface model, this command is executed even when the printer is offline, the
receive buffer is full, or an error occurs.
■ With a parallel interface model, this command is not executed in the following conditions,
because the printer is busy and unable to receive data from the host computer.
■ This command can be used when the printer is disabled by ESC =.
■ This command is ignored when transmitting block data (Header ~ NUL).
■ Each status equals 1 byte.
