motion units].

[Notes] • The right character spacing for double-width mode is twice the normal value. When the characters are enlarged, the right side character spacing is m (2 or 4) times

the normal value.

• The horizontal and vertical motion units are speciﬁ ed by $1D $50. Changing the hori-

zontal or vertical motion units does not affect the current right side spacing.

• The $1D $50 command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However,

the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount.

• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.

• The maximum right side spacing is 32mm. [Default] n = 0 [Reference] $1D $50 [Example]

• This command resets the left and right margin at default value (see $1D $4C, $1D $57).

• $1B $45 can also be used to turn the emphasized mode on/off. However, the last-received setting command is the effective one.

• $1B $2D can also be used to turn the underlining mode on/off. However, the last-received setting command is the effective one.

• $1D $21 can also be used to select character height/width. However, the last-received setting command is the effective one.

characters are to be printed.

The distance from the beginning of the line to the print position is [(nL + nH × 256) ×

(vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches.

[Notes] • Settings outside the speciﬁ ed printable area are ignored.

• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are speciﬁ ed by $1D $50.

• $1D $50 can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount.

• In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.

• If the setting is outside the printing area width, it sets the absolute print position, but the left or right margin is set at default value.

• Y speciﬁ es the number of bytes in the vertical direction.

• C1 speciﬁ es the beginning character code for the deﬁ nition, and C2 speciﬁ es the ﬁ nal code.

• X speciﬁ es the number of dots in the horizontal direction.

[Notes] • The allowable character code range is from ASCII $20 (32) to $7E (126) (95 charac-

ters).

• It is possible to deﬁ ne multiple characters for consecutive character codes. If only one character is desired, use c1 = c2.

• If c2 < c1, the command is not executed.

• d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the horizontal direction starting from the left. Any remaining dots on the right remain blank.

• The data to deﬁ ne a user-deﬁ ned character is (x x y) bytes.

• To print a dot, set the corresponding bit to 1; to not have it print, set to 0.

• This command can deﬁ ne different user-deﬁ ned character patterns for each font. To select the font, use $1B $21.

• The user-deﬁ ned character deﬁ nitions are cleared when: $1B $40 or $1D $2A or $1B $3F are executed or the printer is reset or the power shut off.

vertical motion unit. This command sets the distance from the current position to [(nL + nH × 256) × (horizontal or vertical motion unit)].

[Notes] • When the starting position is speciﬁ ed by N motion unit to the bottom: nL + nH × 256 = N

• When the starting position is speciﬁ ed by N motion unit to the top (negative direction),

use the complement of 65536: nL + nH × 256 = 65536 - N

• The horizontal and vertical motion unit are speciﬁ ed by $1D $50.

• The $1D $50 command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount.

[Notes] • The nL and nH commands indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal

direction. The number of dots is calculated using: nL + nH x 256.

• If the bit image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the excess data is ignored.

• d indicates the bit image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot, or to 0 to not print the dot.

• If the value of m is outside the speciﬁ ed range, nL and data following it are processed as normal data.

• n speciﬁ es the column number for setting a horizontal tab position calculated from the beginning of the line.

• k indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set.

[Notes] • The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n] measured from

the beginning of the line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing and double-width characters are set with twice the width of normal characters.

• This command cancels previous tab settings.

• When setting n = 8, the print position is moved to column 9.

• Up to 32 tab positions (k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab positions is processed as normal data.

• Send [ n ] k in ascending order and place a 0 NUL code at the end. When [ n ] k is less than or equal to the preceding value [ n ] k -1, the setting is complete and the data which follows is processed as normal data.

[Name] Sets the barcode reader status. [Format] ASCII FS { } n Hex 1C B0 n Decimal 28 176 n [Range] $30 ≤ n ≤ $36 [Description] This command sets the operating status of the barcode reader; n identiﬁ es the status of

the barcode setting as follows :

$30 TRIGGER ON/OFF: Every trigger the barcode reader toggle the previous status.

$31 GOOD READ OFF: Every trigger the barcode reader is turn ON and switch off after a timeout (standard) or

after a correct reading.

$32 CONTINUOUS TRIGGER OFF: Every trigger the barcode reader toggle the previous status.

VeriPrint (only for models with BARCODE reader)

$33 CONTINUOUS / AUTO POWER ON: The barcode reader remains power on.

$34 FLASH:

models with MR008 barcode reader

Every trigger the barcode reader switches between a power off condition and continuous ﬂ ashing. During the reading phase the ﬂ ashing condition is changed in a continuous lighting, and then return to ﬂ ashing condition after a timeout or after a reading operation.

models with CX002 barcode reader

Every trigger the barcode keeps scanning. The scanner ﬂ ashes the light source when no code is decoded after the timeout duration elapsed. This mode can save the power resource and extend the operation life of the light source. The scanner can be waked up when there is a successful reading or with a trigger.

$35 TESTING: If the barcode reader recognize a correct barcode the reading operation is not single, like

the trigger on/off state, but is made permanent until the barcode is removed.

$36 FLASH/AUTO POWER ON: The barcode reader remains in a continuous ﬂ ashing condition, when occurs a reading

the barcode reader is turned ON. This condition still stays for a standard timeout, then the barcode reader returns in a ﬂ ashing condition.

[Notes] • The execution of this command clears the output buffer of barcode reader; if a scansion

is executed without data acquisition by the host, all data read are deleted.

The printer returns a byte:

ACK ($06) The command is executed successfully. NACK($15) The command is not executed successfully. $FF The n parameter send is not valid $FE The barcode reader is not working or it not installed on the printer.

[Notes] • If d is outside of the speciﬁ ed range, the printer prints the following message: “BAR CODE

GENERATOR IS NOT OK!” and processes the data which follows as normal data.

• If the horizontal size exceeds the printing area, the printer only feeds the paper.

• This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the bar code, regardless of the line spacing speciﬁ ed by $1B $32 or $1B $33.

• After printing the bar code, this command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.

• This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike, underline or character size), except for upside-down and justiﬁ cation mode.

[Notes per n] • This command ends with a NUL code.

• When the bar code system used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar code data after receiving 11 (without check digit) or 12 (with check digit) bytes bar code data.

• When the bar code system used is EAN13, the printer prints the bar code data after receiving 12 (without check digit) or 13 (with check digit) bytes bar code data.

• When the bar code system used is EAN8, the printer prints the bar code data after receiving 7 (without check digit) or 8 (with check digit) bytes bar code data.

• The number of data for ITF bar code must be even numbers. When an odd number of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.

[Notes per o] • If n is outside of the speciﬁ ed range, the printer stops command processing and proc-

esses the following data as normal data.

When CODE93 is used:

• The printer prints an HRI character ( o ) as a start character at the beginning of the HRI character string.

• The printer prints an HRI character ( o ) as a stop character at the end of the HRI character string.

• The printer prints an HRI character ( n ) as a control character ( $00 to $1F and $7F).

When CODE128 is used:

• When using CODE128 in this printer, please note the following regarding data transmission:

• The top part of the bar code data string must be a code set selection character (CODE A, CODE B or CODE C) which selects the ﬁ rst code set.

• Special characters are deﬁ ned by combining two characters “{“ and one character. ASCII character “{” is deﬁ ned by transmitting “{“ twice, consecutively.

[Notes] • In standard mode for receipt paper, this command is effective only when there is no data

in the print buffer.

• The data (d) identify as 1 a printer bit and as 0 a non-printed bit.

• If a raster bit image is longer than one line, the surplus data aren’t printed.

• This command has no effect in all print modes (character size, emphasized,double-strike, upside-down, underline, white/black reverse printing, etc.) for raster bit image.

• This command feed the paper as much as necessary to print the bit image without using spacing set by $1B $32 or $1B $33.

• Do not use this command during a macro executing because this command should not be included in a macro.

• After the printing the printing starting position moves to the beginning of the line.
