an empty paper supply is detected by either paper roll end detector or
the paper roll near-end detector with a printing halt feature by
ESC c4).

TECHNICAL MANUAL
Print Commands
The WTP series supports the following commands for printing characters and advancing
paper.
HT
[Name] Horizontal tab
[Format] ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 9
[Description] Moves the print position to the next tab position.
This command is ignored unless the next tab position has been set.
[Notes] Horizontal tab positions are set using “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.
[Reference] ESC D
LF
[Name] Print and line feed
[Format] ASCII LF
Hex 0A
Decimal 10
[Description] LF prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line.
The amount of paper fed per line is based on the value set using the line
spacing command.
The default setting is 1/6 inch.
[Reference] ESC 2, ESC 3
CR
[Name] Print and carriage return.
TITLE : WTP-100
Page18

TECHNICAL MANUAL
[Format] ASCII CR
Hex 0D
Decimal 13
[Description] When auto line feed is enabled, this command functions in the same way
as LF.
When auto line feed is disabled, this command is ignored.
[Reference] This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
This command is available only with a parallel interface and is ignored
with a serial interface.
FF
[Name] Print and return to standard mode (in page mode).
[Format] ASCII FF
Hex 0C
Decimal 12
[Description] FF prints the data in the print buffer and returns to standard mode.
[Notes] The printing area set by ESC W is reset to the default setting.
This command is effective only when page mode is selected.
All data are cleared after printing.
This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
[Reference] ESC FF, ESC L, ESC S
CAN
[Name] Cancel print data in page mode
[Format] ASCII CAN
Hex 18
Decimal 24
[Description] In page mode, delete all the print data in the current printable area.
[Notes] This command is enabled only in page mode.
If data that existed in the reviously specified printable area also exists in
the currently specified printable area, it is deleted.
TITLE : WTP-100
Page19

TECHNICAL MANUAL
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
[Notes] 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.
Even though the printer is not selected using ESC = (select peripheral
device), this command is effective.
The printer transmits the current status. Each status is represented by
one-byte 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 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. This command is executed even when the printer is
off-line or there is an error status when DIP switch 2-1 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.
