FF (Page Mode)
[Function] Printing in PAGE MODE and returning to STANDARD MODE
[Code] <0C>H
[Outline] Executes a batch printout of the data mapped in the entire print
area, and then returns to STANDARD MODE.
[Caution] • All mapped data is erased after printout.
• The print area set up by ESC W is initialized.
• This command does not execute a paper cut.
• After this command is executed, the beginning of the line is
taken as the start position for the next print.
• This command is only effective when the PAGE MODE is
selected.
[See Also] ESC FF, ESC L, ESC S, GS FF
FF (Standard Mode)
[Function] Printing and paper feeding to the top of the label (Black mark
position)
[Code] <0C>H
[Outline] This command prints the data in the printer buffer and searches
for the head of the next label (Black mark position)
[Caution] This command is valid only when the label printer is selected
with DS2-7. It is ignored when the thermal paper is specified.
After sending one label worth of print data, be sure to send this
command or GS FF command. After the user intentionally
moved the label paper, this command cannnot search for the
head of the label properly.

CAN
[Function] Canceling print data in PAGE MODE
[Code] <18>H
[Outline] Erases all data contained in the currently effective print area in
PAGE MODE.
[Caution] • This command is only effective when PAGE MODE is selected.
• If the previously established print area overlaps the currently
effective print area, the overlapped data in the previously
established area will be erased.

DLE EOT n
[Function] Sending status in real-time
[Code] <10>H<04>H<n>
[Range] 1
[Outline] Sends in real-time the status specified by “n”.
[Caution] • Each status represents the current status. It is 1 byte data.
n 4
n Status
1 Printer status
2 Status caused by an offline condition
3 Status caused by an error
4 Continuous paper detector status
• The status is transferred without checking whether the host is
ready to receive or busy.
• This command is executed even if the printer is in offline state,
receive-buffer full state, or error state.
• This command is dealt with when it is received.
• If another data string of <10>H<04>H<n> (1
received, the printer acts the same way as with this command.
Therefore, the user should be reminded of this fact.
[Example 1]
Suppose a command “ESC * mnL nH [d1 ... dk]”, where d1 =
<10>H, d2 = <04>H, d3 = <01>H.
• The DLE EOT n command cannot be interleaved into the code
string of another command consisting of 2 bytes or more.
[Example 2]
If the printer sends DLE EOT 3 after the host has sent up to ESC
3 in its attempt to send ESC 3 n, the printer handles the ESC 3
as ESC 3 <10>H. Thus, the user should be cautious.
• If ASB (Automatic Status Back) is enabled by GS a, it is
necessary to discriminate between the status due to ASB and
the status due to this command.

[Details] • On-time and off-time are set at t × 100 msec, respectively.
• In case an error occurred during the processing of this
command, the command is ignored.
• In case (ESC p or DLE DC4 under execution), during the
processing of this command the command is ignored.
• This command will be processed as it is received.
• In specification of serial interface, the command is executed
even in offline, reception buffer full and error conditions.
• In specification of parallel interface, this command cannot be
executed while the printer is BUSY.
• This command will be valid, even if specifying the printer is
invalid due to the selection of peripheral units (ESC =).
[Caution] • If another command with the same data string as this is
received, the printer operates the same way as with this
command. The user should, therefore, be careful.
• The command cannot be inserted in another string of
commands which consist of codes of 2 bytes or more.

ESC FF
[Function] Printing data in PAGE MODE
[Code] <1B>H<0C>H
[Outline] Executes a batch printout of the data mapped in the entire print
area in PAGE MODE.
[Caution] • This command is only effective when PAGE MODE is selected.
• Mapped data, as well as the ESC T and ESC W settings, and
the character mapping position are held even after printing.

right spacing increases with the magnification.
• The right spacing can be set separately for the STANDARD
and PAGE MODES.
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. Once defined, the
right spacing is not changed if the basic calculation pitch is
changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the
minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the remainder is
omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal basic
calculation pitch (x).
• In PAGE MODE, the basic calculation pitch used by this
command depends on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom
right, the command uses the horizontal basic calculation
pitch (x).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom

(y).
• The maximum right spacing is capable of approximately 31.906
mm (255/203 inches). A setting greater than this maximum is
trimmed to the maximum.

width is set, if the basic calculation by GS P leaves a fraction,
the fraction is corrected with the minimum pitch of the
mechanism, and the remainder is omitted.
In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal (Paper
feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x).
In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on
the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom
left, the command uses the vertical (Paper feed direction)
basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom
right , the command uses the horizontal (Perpendicular to
the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x).
Specification beyond the end of the line is ignored.

[Outline] Defines the font of download characters of alphanumeric
characters.
• “s” indicates the number of bytes in vertical direction.
• “n” indicates the start character code and “m” the end
character code. To define only one character, set n=m.
• Character codes definable includes 95 ASCII codes in total in
the range of <20>H to <7E>H.
• “a” indicates the number of dots to be defined in horizontal
direction.
• “p” is the data to be defined, which indicate a pattern equal to
“a” dots in horizontal direction from the left end. The rest of
the pattern on the right side is filled with space.
The number of data to be defined is s × a.
• Download characters thus defined remain valid until
redefinition, ESC @, GS

[Caution] • Download characters and download bit images cannot be
defined simultaneously.
• Running this command clears the definition of the download
bit image.

[Outline] According to the number of dots specified in “n1”, “n2”, specify
the bit image of mode “m”.
• The number of dots printed is divided by 256, whose quotient
is taken as n2 and residual as “n1”.
• The total number of dots printed in the horizontal direction is
equal to n1 + (256 × n2).
• When bit image data have been input in excess of dot positions
that can be printed on one line, the excess data are discarded.
• ”d” is bit image data. Bits to be printed are specified as “1”
and those not as “0”.
• The bit image modes specified by m are shown as follows:
m
0 8-dots single density 8 67 DPI 101 DPI 288
1 8-dots double density 8 67 DPI 203 DPI 576

No. of Dots Dot Density Dot Density Max. No. of Dots
[Caution] • When the value of m is out of the above range, the data
following after n1 is processed as normal printing data.
• After completion of bit image printing, the printer returns to
normal data processing mode.
