1. OUTLINE
1.1 Operation Mode
The control commands used on printers covered by this document are comformed to ESC/POS.
1.2 Character Set
All print data sent from the host computer to the prin ter are automatically con verted to one-byte alphanumeric or katakana
characters (ANK) or two-byte Kanji corresponding to the characters and symbols.
NOTE: For the contents of character set, refer to Char acter Code Table of this document.
1.3 Control Commands
1.3.1 Co ntrol Comma nd Details
Control Commands are used fo r controlling the operations of the p rinter such as starting/stopping o f printing, line feeding, paper
feeding, etc. They control all functions related to printing, such as type of characters, enlargement of characters or setting of
format.
1.3.2 How to Send Control Commands
Some methods are available fo r sending Control Commands from the ho st computer to the printer. Here, a method of sen ding
by BASIC programming is explained.
Example 1
Let’s print a character string “CITIZEN” in enlarged (double-height, double-width) and in normal format.
Program coding
The Control Command shows th at the command name for se tting the size of a char acter is GS !. Let’s make a program using
this code. An example is shown below.

pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting fro m calculation are correc ted with the minimum pitc h of the mechanism, and th e
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, th e command uses the horizo ntal basic
calculation pitch (x).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom lef t, the command uses the verti cal basic

[Caution] • With double height and double width being specified simultaneously, qu adruple characters are
created.
• An underline is attached to the full character width, which, however, is not attached to the part having been
skipped by the horizontal tab (HT). N either is it attached to 90 °-right-turned characters.
• The underline width is as specified by the ESC – command. (The default s etting is 1 dot width.)
• Setting by this command is invalid for Kanji except setting and canceling of enhanced printing.
• In case characters with different vertical magni fication ratios coexis t on the same line, they are printed on the
same base line.
• ESC E, ESC M, ESC –, and GS ! can individually set or cancel the mode but the command processed last is
valid.
• Setting or canceling of enhanced 3rd bit is valid for alphanumeric and kana and kanji. Other print mode is valid
only for alphanumeric and kana characters.
• Setting memory SW 3-7 to ON allows the horizontal and vertical relations to be interchanged when
90°-right-turnning of character is specified.

[Caution] [The specification which is common to the model]
• This command is valid for all characters (alphanumeric, kana, and kanji) except for HRI characters.
• This command is ignored if either the vertical magnification or horizontal magnification is out of the defined
range.
• In PAGE MODE, the vertical direction means the top-b ottom direction of each cha racter. The horizonta l
direction means the side-to-side direction of each character. If characters of different vertical magnification are
contained in a line, the baseline of each character is lined up.
• Horizontal and vertical magnification can also be specified/canceled by ESC ! but the setting of command last
processed is valid.
• In STANDARD MODE, the v ertical direction is d efined as the paper feed dir ection, and the horizon tal direction
is defined as the direc tion perpendicular to the pape r feed.
• Setting memory SW 3-7 to ON allows the horizontal and vertical relations to be interchanged when
90°-right-turnning of character is specified.

• “k” denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to se t.
• The tab position is s et at a position where it is “ character width×n” from the beginning of a line. The character
width, at this time, includes the space on the r ight. In double width characters, it is made do uble the ordinary
case.
• Tab positions that can b e specified are maximu m 32. Specifying tab positio ns exceeding this limit i s ignored.

[Caution] [The specification which is common to the model]
• When the data, <n> k , is equal to or smaller th an its preceding data, <n> k-1, it is assumed that
tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the next data onward will be processed as normal dat a.
• When the data, <n> k , exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizon tal tab position, as “Set co lumn position =
Maximum print columns + 1”.
• The horizontal tab position does not change even if the character width is alter ed after setting the hori zontal

• This command only works when it is entered at the beginning of a line.
• When PAGE MODE is select ed, this command only executes the internal flaggi ng of the printer.
• The setting of this comm and does not affect PAGE M ODE.
• The maximum settable l eft margin is equal to the hor izontal printable area. A setting greater than th is
maximum is trimmed to the maximum.
• The basic calculation pitch is defined by GS P. Once defined, the left margin is not changed if the basic
calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• The left margin is calculated with the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x) set by GS P. A fraction resulting from
the calculation is corr ected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the r emainder is omitted.
• When you progress the first character in start of the line, if the prin t area specified is not wi de enough to
accommodate the wide of on e character(*Right space is contained.),only the line for that character data is
handled as follows:
(1) The print area is extended toward the righ t to be equivalent to one c haracter of the current fo nt, but not
wider than the printable area.
(2) If an area for one character cannot be provided as a result of step (1), the print area is extended toward
the left. (So, the left margin is decreased.)
• When mapping non-character data (bit image, downloaded bit im age, or bar code), if the print area specified
is narrower than 9-bits, only th e line for that data i s handled as follows:
(1) The print area is extended toward the left (so, the left margin is decreased) until it is 9-dot wide, but not
wider than the printable area.

[Function] Specifying the relative vertical position of a character in PAGE MODE
[Code] <1D>H<5C>H<nL><nH>
[Range] 0≤nL≤255, 0≤nH≤255
[Outline] [The specification which is common to the model]
• This command is used i n PAGE MODE to specify the vertic al position of a character in th e data mapping start
position, in a relative position with respect to the current position.
• The next data mapping start po sition will be at a poin t [(nL+nH×256)×basic calculation pitch] inches away
from the current position.
[Caution] [The specification which is common to the model]
• This command is igno red when PAGE MODE is not s elected.
• If a new position is specified for a character located beneath the current position, it should be specified as
positive (+). If it is above the current position, i t should be negative (–).
• A negative value is the c omplement of 65536 . For example, to move the position by N pitches up, specify it
as: nL + nH x 256 = 65536 – N
• The specification of a relative position ou tside the specified print ar ea is ignored.
• Depending on the start point specified by ESC T, this command acts as fol lows:
(1) If the start point is the top left or botto m right, the command sp ecifies the relative positi on in the paper
feed direction (the character’s top-bottom direction) using the vertical basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point is the top right or b ottom left, the command specifi es the relative position in the dir ection
perpendicular to the paper feed (the character’s top-bottom direction ) using the horizontal basic
calculation pitch (x).
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the
remainder is omitted.
