2. COMMANDS
2 . 1 Command Notation
X X X X
[Name] The name of the command.
[Format] The code sequence.
[Range] Gives the allowable ranges for the arguments.
[Description] Describes the command’s function.
[Notes] Provides important information on setting and using the printer command, if necessary.
[Details] Describes the usage of the command in detail.

[Default] Gives the default values, if any, for the command parameters.
[Reference] Lists related commands.
[Example] Gives examples of how to use the command.
ASCII indicates the American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Hex indicates the hexadecimal equivalents.
Decimal indicates the decimal equivalents.
[ ]k indicates the contents of the bracket [ ] should be repeated k times.
2. 2 Explanation of Terms
(1) Receive buffer
The receive buffer is a buffer that stores, as is, the data received from the host (the reception
data). The reception data is stored in the receive buffer temporarily, and is then processed
sequentially.
(2) Print buffer
The print buffer is a buffer that stores the image data to be printed.
(3) Print buffer full
This is the state where the print buffer is full. If new print data is input while the print buffer is
full, the data in the print buffer is printed out and a line feed is executed. This is the same
operation as the LF command operation.
(4) Start of line
The start of line state satisfies the following condition:
• There is no print data (including spaces and portions of data skipped due to bit image data)
currently in the print buffer.
(5) Printable area
The maximum range of print area under the printer’s specifications. The max print area of the
printer is 400/160 inch.
(6) Ignore
The state in which all codes, including parameters, are read in and discarded, and nothing
happens.
(7) Invalidation
The state in which command codes are read in and discarded, and parameters are processed
as normal data.
(8) Inch
A unit of length. One inch is 25.4 mm.

(9) MSB
Most Significant Bit
(10) LSB
Least Significant Bit
2. 3 Control Commands
1．HT
[Name] Horizontal Tab
[Format] ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 10
[Description] Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
[Details] • 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.
• The default setting of the horizontal tab position for the paper roll is font B (9 X 9) every 8
characters (9th, 17th, 25th, ... column).
[Reference] ESC D
2．LF
[Name] Print and line feed
[Format] ASCII LF
Hex 0A
Decimal 10
[Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line based on the current line
[Detail] This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
[Reference] ESC 2，ESC 3
3．CR
[Name] Print and carriage return
[Format] ASCII CR
Hex 0D
Decimal 13
[Description] Print out the data in the print buffer but do not feed paper.
[Detail] Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.
[Reference] LF
4．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
[Description] Transmits the selected printer status specified by n in real-time, according to the
following parameters:
n = 1: Transmit printer status
n = 2: Transmit off-line status
n = 3: Transmit error status
n = 4: Transmit paper roll sensor status
[Details] • In sending status, printer sends a byte without validation of DSR signal.
• This command is executed even when the printer is off-line, the receive buffer is full, or
there is an error status with a serial interface model.
• With a parallel interface model, this command can not be executed when the printer is
busy.
• When use GS a to enable Automatic Status Back (ASB), the status transmitted by DLE
EOT and the ASB status must be differentiated by using the table in Appendix D.
• This command is valid even when the printer is disabled with ESC = (Select peripheral
device).
• This command is being processed as soon as received by the printer.
[Note] • The status is transmitted whenever the data sequence of <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
• This command should not be used within the data sequence of 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 n is transmitted and then DLE EOT 3 interrupts
before n is received, the code <10>H for DLE EOT 3 is processed as the code for
ESC 3 <10>H.

5．DLE ENQ n
[Name] Send real-time request to printer
[Format] ASCII DLE ENQ n
Hex 10 05 n
Decimal 16 5 n
[Range] n = 0，n = 2
[Description] Responds to a request from the host computer.
n = 0: Recover from an error;
n = 2: Recover from an error after clearing the receive and print buffers;
[Details] • The command n=0 is ignored unless the error caused by paper shortage has
occurred.
• The command n=2 is effective only when a mechanical error or an auto-cutter error
occurs.
• The printer starts processing data upon receiving this command.
• This command is executed even when the printer is off-line, the receive buffer is full,
or there is an error status with a serial interface model. With a parallel interface
model, this command can not be executed when the printer is busy.
• DLE ENQ 2 enables the printer to recover from an error after clearing the data in the
receive buffer and the print buffer. The printer retains the settings (by ESC !, ESC 3,
etc.) that were in effect when the error occurred. The printer can be initialized
completely by using this command and ESC @. This command is enabled only for
errors that have the possibility of recovery, except for print head temperature error.
• When the printer is disabled with ESC = (Select peripheral device), the error recovery
functions (DLE ENQ 1 and DLE ENQ 2) are enabled, and the other functions are
disabled.
[Note] • ESC * m nL nH [ d ] nL + 2 5 6 nH d1=<10>H d2=<05>H d3=<1>HThe
status is also transmitted whenever the data sequence of <10>H<05>H< n>(1 n
2) is received.
Example:
In ESC m nL nH dk, d1 = <10>H, d2 = <05>H, d3 = <01>H
• This command should not be contained within another command that consists of two
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 n is transmitted, and DLE ENQ 2 interrupts
before n is received, the code <10>H for DLE ENQ 2 is processed as the code
for ESC 3 <10>H.

• The printer can underline all characters, but can not underline the space set by HT or 90°
clockwise rotated characters.
• The underline mode set by this command do not affect the Kanji character print mode,
which is set by HT command.
[Default] n = 1
[Reference] ESC –，ESC E
8．ESC % n
[Name] Select/cancel user-defined character set
[Format] ASCII ESC % n
Hex 1B 25 n
Decimal 27 37 n

[Range] 0 ≤n ≤255
[Description] Selects or cancels the user-defined character set.
• When the LSB of nis 0, the user-defined character set is canceled, and the built-in
character set is automatically selected.
• When the LSB of nis 1, the user-defined character set is selected.
[Details] • nis available only for the least significant bit.
• When the user-defined character set is canceled, the internal character set is
automatically selected.
