x Printing speed
At a low speed, paper feed is stopped and current is passed through the head, resulting in improvement of
printing quality, especially in high-density bit image such as halftone.
At a high speed, current is passed through the head during paper feeding, resulting in improvement of
throughput.
x Divided current-carrying
On this printer, power consumption is reduced in case of high-density printing. Therefore, printing is
performed in a maximum of three blocks (divided current-carrying). If the divided current-carrying is
specified to Block, high-speed printing will be enabled. Deviation, however, will occur between blocks.
If the divided current-carrying is specified to Chopper, deviation between blocks will not occur and printing
quality will be improved. Throughput, however, will be reduced.

x If the argument (m), the storage start address (a1, a2, a3, a4) or the number of stored data (nL, nH) is outside
the definition area, or in case of “the storage start address (a1, a2, a3, a4) + the number of stored data (nL,

x At the time of completion of processing of the stored data (d) outside the definition area, processing by this
command will be stopped and the next data will be processed as normal data. At this time, the data which has
already been processed will be stored into memory.
x Data storage processing executes “overwriting”. Therefore, the data which have been already stored into the
area for storage processing are erased.
x If an error occurs during the writing process, the error will be “Memory R/W Error”.
x The data in the user NV memory can be read by FS g.
x The data in the user NV memory is not initialized by execution of ESC @, execution of FS q, resetting or
power OFF.
[Caution]
x Frequent use of the “writing into the nonvolatile memory” command (FS g1) may destroy memory.
Therefore, the “writing into the nonvolatile memory” command should be used “less than 10 times a day”.
x In some cases, the printer may become BUSY while data is being written into the nonvolatile memory with
this command.
While the printer is BUSY, it will stop receiving data and sending data from the host (including real-time

the definition area, or in case of “the storage start address (a1, a2, a3, a4) + the number of stored data (nL,
nH)>1024”, this command will become invalid and the following data will be processed as normal data.
x After the preparation for sending data is completed, the following processes will be executed.
(1) The printer state will change from READY to BUSY. If the state has already been set to BUSY, the
printer will do nothing.
(2) “Header + Data + NUL” will be sent.
(3) The printer state will change BUSY from to READY. At this time, if the printer state has already been set
to BUSY due to other causes, the printer will do nothing.
x The configuration of “Header + Data + NUL” is as follows:
Header: Hexadecimal number = 5F/Decimal number = 95 (1 byte)
Data: Data in User NV memory “ (nL + (nH
NUL: Hexadecimal number = 00H
x When the DTR/DSR control is selected, all codes are sent continuously after checking that the host can
receive data when the header is sent. If the host cannot receive data, the printer will wait until the host is ready
for receiving data.
x When the XON/XOFF control is selected, all codes are sent continuously without checking whether the host
can receive data or not. Data that has been sent is always continuous except for XOFF code.
x When parallel interface is used, the size of buffer for data to be sent (buffer that stores all data to be sent
except for ASB status) is 99 bytes. Data exceeding 99 bytes will be discarded.
x Data in the user NV memory can be written by using FS g1.
x Depending on the state of receiving buffer, there may be a delay between receiving this command and storing
data.
x After the header is sent, all data will be sent without checking whether the host can receive the data or not.
Therefore, when this command is used, more than (the number of sending data + 2) bytes of space should be
secured in the receiving buffer of the host in order not to fail to receive data.
x While data is being sent, real-time commands (DLE extension command) are ignored. Even if ASB function is
selected as enabled, ASB status will not be sent while data are being sent.
Accordingly, it is not possible to know any change in printer state by its status during data sending. Users
should pay attention to this.

x When Serial Interface is being used, under DTR/DSR control, the printer sends the printer ID after checking
that the host is ready to receive.
If the hose is not ready to receive, the printer will wait until the host becomes ready to receive. Under
XON/XOFF control, the printer sends the printer ID without checking whether the host is ready to receive or not.
x This command is executed at the time of mapping of the receive buffer. Therefore, depending on the state of
receive buffer, a delay between command receiving and printer ID sending may occur.
x By specifying (1<n<3, 49<n<51), one byte of printer ID will be sent.

In case of (1) :
This command ends with a NULL code.
For UPC-A or UPC-E, when 12 bytes of bar code data is entered, the bar code will be printed and the
subsequent data will be handled as normal data.
For JAN 13, when 13 bytes of bar code data is entered, the bar code will be printed and the subsequent data
will be handled as normal data.
For JAN 8, when 8 bytes of bar code data is entered, the bar code will be printed and the subsequent data will
be handled as normal data.
The number of data of ITF bar code must be an even number. If the number of data be an odd number, the last
datum will be ignored.
In case of (2) :
x S denotes the number of data and “n” bytes of subsequent data will be processed as bar code data.
x If S is out of the definition range, the command process will be aborted and the subsequent data
will be handled as normal data.
In case of STANDARD MODE
x If D is out of the definition range, only paper feed will be executed and the subsequent data will be
handled as normal data.
If the horizontal width of bar code exceeds the print area of one line, only paper feed will be executed without
printing of bar code.
Paper is fed by the amount of height of bar code (including HRI characters when HRI character printing is
specified) regardless of the line feed amount set by ESC 3, ESC 2.
If data exists in the print buffer, this command will be ignored.
If the character code Dn is an unprintable character, the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.
x After printing the bar code, the next printing start position will be set at the head of line.
This command doesn’t affect the printing modes (emphasis printing, double printing, underline, character
size) except for inverted printing.
In case of PAGE MODE
Only mapping of bar code is executed and printing is not executed. After completion of mapping of bar code,
the dot next to the last data of bar code will be the next data mapping start position.
If D is out of the definition range, the command process will be aborted and the subsequent data will be
handled as normal data.
At this time, the data mapping start position is not moved.
If the horizontal width of bar code exceeds the print area, the data mapping start will be moved to the left end
outside the print area without printing of bar code.

x xL, xH specify the number of data in horizontal direction to (xL + xH × 256) bytes.
x yL, yH specify the number of data in vertical direction to (yL + yH × 256) bytes.
x In STANDARD MODE, this command is effective only when there is no data in the print buffer.
x If the print area width set by GS L, GS W is smaller than the minimum width, the print area only for the
line will be extended to the minimum value. The minimum value is 1 dot in NORMAL MODE and DOUBLE
HEIGHT MODE, and 2 dots in DOUBLE WIDTH MODE and QUADRUPLE MODE.
x Data which is out of the print area is read and discarded in units of dot.
x By the horizontal tab setting, the absolute position and relative position specifying, and the left margin
setting, the printing start position of raster bit image can be specified arbitrarily. The print start position is a
multiple of 8.
x ESC a (Aligning the characters) is effective for the raster bit image.
x If this command is executed during macro definition, the macro definition will be suspended, and the process
of this command will be started. At this time, the macro will become undefined.
