Format Specification
This section shows how to read and use the instructions of the manual. Please read it before
programming.
The command instructions of the manual include:
1. ESC/POS Commands
1) Description of Name and function of the command. This is the first part of the command
instruction, which provide the command of ASCII form and the function description.
2) Format. In this part, using three kinds of form: the ASCII,HEX and Decimal, to describe the
Command. The default is Decimal if have no especial description, For example: 1 ≤n≤
4,1 is Decimal 1, not the ASCII code 1.
3) Scope. Provide the scope of the Variable.
4) Description. Provide the detailed explanation of the command.
5) Annotation. Provide some notes of the command. Commands under different mode, or
coordinating with different commands may cause interaction, so we provide some details
here.
6) Reference. Provide some other commands which are interrelated or similar.

---> [Reference]
Note: CPCL instruct rules state:
1. Instructions are forms of characters, and all are capitalized, both ends with the
ENTER, line feeds.
2. Zebra instruct is judged by the followed conditions: starting with !, followed by a space,
and then five figures.
3. Each parameter ended with Spaces or ENTER.(Several ended with ;)
Except first instruct (For Example:”! 0 200 200 210 1’’) “!” must be followed by a space,
other parameters can follow with any space(For Example:! 0 200 200 210 1).
4. Every number parameters for maximum of 65536.
5. If the parameter is the fixed length, content behind the last parameter will be ignored.

6. The maximum of vertical coordinate: 520dots
7. For SP-TL24U5 and SP-TL24UBTDM5 models, the maximum of horizontal coordinates:
448dots, if >448,will be 0)
8. For SP-TL24and SP-TL24UBTDM models, the maximum of horizontal coordinates:
348dots, if >348,will be 0)
9. For the position of overlapping print content.
10. Only after received the PRINT instruction, the machine will print, otherwise it will not
print at all.
11. There can be spaces in front of the instructions, but can not have other content.
3. TSPL Commands
1) Description of Name and function of the command. This is the first part of the command
instruction, which provide the command of character form and the function description.
2) Format. This part uses the character encoding form to describe the instructions.
3) Instructions. Provide the scope of the instruct and range of variate.
4) Reference. Provide some other commands which are interrelated or similar.
Notes:TSPL instruct rules state:
1. In addition to the eight instructions to ask the printer status, the other instructions are
in the form of characters, and are uppercase, are the carriage return, line as the end.
2. Each parameter to a space, comma, double quotation marks or carriage return end.
3. Every number parameters for maximum of 65536.
4. The maximum of vertical coordinate: 520 dots

[Description] Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
[Notice] .This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.
.If the next position of horizontal tab exceeds the printing area, the current
position will be set as [printing width+1].
.Horizontal tab positions are set with ESCD.
.If the current position is at [ printing width+1] when receives the command,the

Zero position of next line.
.The default value of tab position is every 8 standard ASCII characters (12*24) a
tab.
.When the current row buffer is full,the printer will carry out the action below:
Under standard mode,printer prints the content of current row and sets the
Printing position at the zero position of next line
Under page mode,the printer begins a new line and set the printing position at the
zero position of next line.

print the contents of buffer,don’t feed paper.
[Notice] .Clearing the content in print buffer after printing.
.The printing area setup by ESC W returns to the default.
.The printer don’t cut paper.
.This command sets the current position at the beginning of the line
[Reference] ESC FF, ESC L, ESC S
CR
[Name] Printing and entering
[Format] ASCII CR
Hex 0D
Decimal 13
[Description] The same as LF when the command is permitted,if forbidden, it will be ignored.
[Notice] Setting the printing position at the beginning of the line.
[Reference] LF
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] Sending the printer state that designated by parameter n just in time:
n=1:Sending state of the printer
n=2:Sending off line state
n=3:Sending error state
n=4:Sending state of paper sensor
[Notice] -When printer receives the command,returns to the interrelated status
immediately
.Avoiding to put this command in the command sequence of more than2
characters.
.This command will still valid even though the printer is set to forbid by the
Command of ESC=(selecting peripheral).
.When sending printer current state,each state is indicated by 1byte
.Transmission state value of the printer can not confirm whether the master
computer received
.Printer will carry out the command immediately once received

-The width of the underline will not be changed,and the character rest will not be
Underlined when cancel the underline mode.The default width is1dot width.
-Changing the character boundary will not influence the current underline width
-Selecting/canceling the underline can also be set by ESC!.However,the setting of

- Using vertical shifting units under standard mode
-According to the direction of printing area and the beginning position to select
lateral or vertical shifting units under page mode.The selection modes are as
below:
1 Using vertical shifting when the beginning position is the top left or lower right
corner of the printing area which is set by ESC T;
2 Using lateral shifting when the beginning position is the lower left or top right
corner of the printing area which is set by ESC T;
-The maximum distance of feeding paper is 1016mm(40inches).If it is beyond this
distance,taking the maximum distance.

-There are k tab positions.
[Notice] -Horizontal tab positions can be gotten by the following formula:
The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width×n]measured
from the beginning of the line.The character width includes the right side character
spacing,and double width characters are set with twice the width of normal
characters.
-This command cancels the previous horizontal tab settings.
-When setting n=8,the print position is moved to column 9
-Up to 32 tab positions(k=32)can be set.Data exceeding32tab positions is
processed as normal data
-Tab position is ordered by acceding and the end mark is NUL
-When[n]k is less than or equal to the preceding value[n]k-1,tab setting is
finished and the following data is processed as normal data.
-ESC D NUL cancels all horizontal tab positions.
-The previously specified horizontal tab positions do not change,even if the
character width changes
-The character width is independence under standard and page mode
[Default] The default tab setting is one tab position per 8 standard ASCII characters (12 ×
