3. Descriptions of Control Code
Horizontal Tab [HT]
[ASCII] HT
[Decimal] 9
[Hexadecimal] 09
[Parameter]
[Description]
x Shifts the printing position to the next horizontal tab position. The horizontal tab position is set by ESC D.
The initial setting is at intervals of 8 characters for Font A (at 9th, 17th, 25th, 33rd columns).
Printing and Line Feed [LF]
[ASCII] LF
[Decimal] 10
[Hexadecimal] 0A
[Parameter]
[Description]
x By specifying the C/R operation set inside the printer, the operations will be as follows:
HT
LF
<In case of CR+LF>
x If data exist inside the print buffer, line feed is performed after printout. Without data, only line feed is
performed. The next printing position becomes the head of line. If LF code is entered right after CR code, the LF
code will be ignored.
<In case of LF and being ignored>
x If data exist inside the print buffer, line feed is performed after printout. Without data, only line feed is
performed. The next printing position becomes the head of line.
x Even if LF code is entered right after CR code, the LF code will not be ignored.
Form Feed [FF]
[ASCII] FF
[Decimal] 12
[Hexadecimal] 0C
[Parameter]
[Description]
x Executes a batch printout of the data mapped in the print area and returns to STANDARD MODE. All data is
erased after printout.
x This command is effective only in PAGE MODE.

[Parameter]
[Description]
x By specifying the C/R operation set inside the printer, the operations will be as follows:
<In case of CR+LF>
If data exist inside the print buffer, line feed is performed after printout.
Without data, only line feed is performed. The next printing position becomes the head of line.
If LF code is entered right after CR code, the LF code will be ignored.
<In case of LF >
If data exist inside the print buffer, line feed is performed after printout.

[Parameter] m=0, 1, 20h 21h 0<n1<
[Description]
x According to the bit image mode specified by m, bit image data are printed.
x The number of dots printed is specified as 16 bits. “n1” is the low 8 bits and “n2” is the high 8 bits.
x If bit image data have been input excess of dot positions that can be printed on one line, the excess data are
discarded.
x Concerning bit image data (dn), bits to be printed are specified as “1” and bits not to be printed as “0”.
x The printing modes specified by m are as follows:
m(h) Mode
0 8-dots single density 8 67DPI 101DPI
1
8-dots double density
20 24 dots single density 24 203DPI 101DPI
21 24 dots double density 24 203DPI 203DPI
x When the value of m is out of the above range, the data after n1 is processed as normal printing data.

Specifying/Canceling an underline [ESC −]
[ASCII] ESC − n
[Decimal] 27 45 n
[Hexadecimal] 1B 2D n
ESC −
[Parameter] 0<n<
[Description]
x Specifying/Canceling an underline.
x An underline is attached to the full character width but not attached to the part having been skipped by the
horizontal tab (HT) and the dot position shifts (ESC $, ESC \). Neither is it attached to 90°-turned
characters.
x The kinds of underline specified by n are as follows:
n=0 : Canceling an underline.
n=1: Specifying an underline for 1-dot width.
n=2: Specifying an underline for 2- dots width.
x The width of underline is a specified width regardless of character size.
x The underline can be specified also by ESC !, but the last processed command will become effective.
x The initial value is n=0.

[Parameter] 0h<n<
[Description]
x Sets the line feed rate per line to [n×basic calculation pitch] inches.
x Sets the line feed rate to the selected setting sheet with ESC c1.
x Independent line feed rate can be set to Receipt and Journal, respectively. If printing of the same data to
Receipt and Journal is specified and PAGE MODE printing is performed, the line feed rate of Journal will be
ignored and the line feed rate of Receipt will become effective.
x Independent line feed rate can be set for STANDARD MODE and PAGE MODE, respectively.
x The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. Once the line feed rate is set, it will not be changed even if the
basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
If the calculation leaves a fraction, the fraction will be corrected with the minimum pitch of mechanism
(203DPI) and the remainder will be omitted.
x In STANDARD MODE, the vertical basic calculation pitch y is used.
x In PAGE MODE,
If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the horizontal basic calculation
pitch y is used.
If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the vertical basic calculation pitch x
is used.
x If the specified line feed rate is smaller than the printing character size (vertical length), the line feed rate
will become a printing character size.
x The maximum settable line feed width is 40 inches. If the line feed width is specified to the value greater than
this maximum value, it will be trimmed to the maximum.
x The initial value is n=22h and approximately 1/6 inches (4.25mm)

[Hexadecimal] 1B 44 n1…nK NULL
ESC D
[Parameter] 1<n<
[Description]
x Sets the horizontal tab position.
x “n” indicates the number of columns between the left margin and the horizontal tab setting position.
If n=8 is specified, for example, the next printing position will be shifted to the ninth column by execution of
HT.
x “k” indicates the number of horizontal tab position data to be set.
x The tab position is set to the position defined by “character width × n from the left margin”.
x At this time, the character width includes space between characters. If a horizontal magnification of
character is 2 or more, the character width will increase with the magnification.
x <n> which denotes a setting position is processed in the increasing order and ends at <00>h. When <n> is
equal to or smaller than its preceding <n>, the tab setting is finished. Then, the next data onward will be
processed as normal data.
x Settable tab positions are maximum 32. Tab positions specified exceeding this limit is ignored.
x ESC “D”NULL clears all the set tab positions. The horizontal tab (HT) command after clearing is ignored.
x Default is Font A and positions at eight-character intervals (9th, 17th, 25th, 33rd,…“n”th columns) at the
right spacing =0.
