Introduction

Thank you for choosing Cino VersaJet Mobile Printer. The VersaJet mobile printer is designed with rugged yet lightweight architecture, delivering the ultimate convenience of mobility to meet your on-demand labels and receipts printing requirements.
Besides RS232 communication interfaces, the VersaJet is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices by incorporating Bluetooth
This Programming Guide provides complete descriptions on command functions and instructs programmer to configure your VersaJet efficiently. If you need more information, please contact your supplier or visit our web site for details.
This guide is organized into the following chapters:

JCL Command Sets

ESC/POS (Epson Standard Code for Point of Sales) is one of the most world-popular command sets, which was designed to provide the expandability and universal applicability demanded by the market. The JCL (Job Control Language) is the proprietary printer language of Cino mobile printer supporting ESC/POS emulation. This not only shortens user’s learning cycle, but also minimizes the system integration efforts.
Furthermore, the VersaJet possesses more practical and useful command sets than ESC/POS., such as the manipulation on serialization, graphics and 2D bar codes printing. You may refer to “Command Comparison between JCL and ESC/POS “ for more details.

Command Overview

This chapter covers following topics to present the supported commands that are used with VersaJet:
Command Notation

Programming Reference

Command Notation

[Name] The name of the command. [Format] The code sequence. [Range] Gives the allowable ranges for the arguments. [Default] Gives the default values, if any, for the command parameters. [Description] Describes the command’s function. [Notes] Provides important information on setting and using the printer command, if necessary.
Hex indicates the hexadecimal equivalents. Decimal indicates the decimal equivalents.
[ ]k indicates the contents of the [ ] should be repeated k times.
11
Programming Reference

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 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.
There is no print data (including portions of data skipped due to HT) The print position is not specified by the ESC $ or ESC \ command.
12
Programming Reference
(5) Printable area
The maximum range within which printing is possible under the printer specifications. The printable area for this printer is as follows:
The length of the horizontal direction in standard mode:
approximately 48 mm {1.89 “}
The length of the vertical direction in page mode:
approximately 160 mm {6.3 “}
(6) Printing area
Printing range is set by the command. It must be printing area ≤ printable area.
(7) Ignore
The state in which all codes, including parameters, are read in and discarded, and nothing happens.
(7) Inch
An unit of length. One inch is 25.4 mm.
(8) MSB
Most Significant Bit
13
Programming Reference
(9) LSB
Least Significant Bit
(11) Base line
Standard position when character data is stored in the print buffer.
Normal character in standard mode and page mode:
A y *
* When font A (12×24 dots) is selected, this height is for 24 dots.
* When font B (9×24 dots) is selected, this height is for 24 dots.
Base line
Rotated character in standard mode (only when font A is selected):
10 dots
Base line

Supported Commands

In these tables, click any name to see the command description. Please refer following instructions before you utilize these commands to configure your VersaJet:
Standard mode
: Enabled. () : Enabled only when the command is used at the beginning of command codes. : Enabled only when data is not present in the printer buffer. Ignored : All command codes including parameters are ignored.
Page mode
 : Enabled.
: Only for value setting. Disabled : Parameters are processed as printable data. Ignored : All command codes including parameters are ignored.
Classification
Executing : The changes do not affect the following data. Setting : The changes do affect the following data until power off.
Note : The changes caused by “Flash Command” will be still valid after power on/off .
