• Af ter printing the bar code, this command sets the print position at the beginning of the line.

• This command is not affected by print modes (bold, double strike, underline or character size), with the exception of upside-down mode and justification.

[Note for ] • This command ends with a $00 code.

• When the bar code used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar code data after receiving 1 1 (without check digit) or 12 ( with check digit) byte bar code dat a.

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

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

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

[Note for ] • If n is outside the specified range, the printer stops command processing and process

the following data as normal data. When to use CODE93: • 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 to use CODE128: • When using the CODE128 in this printer, take the following points into account for

data transmission:

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

• Special characters are defined by combining two characters “{“ and one character. The ASCII character “{” is defined by transmitting “{“ twice consecutively.

[Name] Graphic mode DP24/40 [Format] ASCII DC1

Hex 11

Decimal 17 [Description] Prints in graphic mode like the DP 24/40.

The command $1 1 enables the DP24-40 printer graphic mode, i.e. to print in graphic

mode, transmit the command $1 1 at the beginning of each line. One line for the DP24-

40 printer (24 column model) corresponds to 44 horizontal dots divided into 24 6-dot

blocks. For the DP24-40 printer (40-column model) one line corresponds to 240

horizontal dots divided into 40 6-dot blocks. [Notes] The size of the graphic dot and the number of dots per line vary depending on the

number of columns.

To obtain a graphic printout, enter the command $11 at the beginning of each line. The

graphic configuration byte format is as follows:

X R P6 P5 P4 P3 P2 P1

D7D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0

where:

X is not utilized (we recommend 0);

R must be set at 1;

P1, P6 are the data of the graphic dots (1 prints, 0 does not print).

The P6 bit of the string of dots transmitted, is printed on the left and the others (P5, P4,

(vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches.

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

• The vertical and horizontal motion units are specified by $1D $50.

• The command $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, set absolute print position, but left or

right margin is set at default value. [Default] [Reference] $1D $50

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

image. The nL and nH indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal

direction. The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH × 256.

• If the bit image data 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 at 1 to print dot or at 0 not to

print dot.

• If the value of m is outside the specified range, nL and the data following are

processed as normal data.

• To print the bit-image, use the commands $0A or $0D.

• Af ter printing a bit image, the printer reverts to normal dat a processing mode.

• This command is not affected by bold, double strike, underlining (etc.) modes, with the

exception of upside down mode.

The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as follows:

Hex 1D 3A

Decimal 29 58 [Description] St art s or ends macro definition. [Notes] • Macro definition starts when this command is received during normal operation.

• When the command $1D $5E is received during macro definition, the printer ends the

macro definitions and clears all definitions.

• Macro not defined when the power is turned on.

• The defined contents of the macro are not cleared by the command $1B $40.

Therefore, $1B $40 can be included in the contents of the macro definitions.

• If the printer receives the command $1D $3A again immediately after previously

receiving $1D $3A, the printer remains in the macro undefined state.

• The contents of the macro can be defined up to 1024 bytes. If the macro definition

exceeds 1024 bytes, the excess data is not not stored. [Default] [Reference] $1D $5E [Example]

• n specifies the number of digits to be printed as follows:

when n = 0, the printer prints the actual digits indicated by the number value.

when n = from 1 to 5, this command sets the number of digits to be printed.

• m specifies the printing position within the entire range of printed digits, as follows:

[Range] 0 ≤ aL, aH ≤ 255

0 ≤ bL, bH ≤ 255 0 ≤ n, r ≤ 255

[Description] Selects a count mode for the serial number counter.

• aL, aH o bL, bH specify the counter range.

• n specify the stepping amount when counting up or down.

• r indicates the repetition number when the counter value is fixed. [Notes] • Count-up mode is specified when:

[aL + (aH × 256)] < [bL + (bH × 256)] and n ≠ 0 and r ≠ 0

• Count-down mode is specified when:

[aL + (aH × 256)] > [bL + (bH × 256)] and n ≠ 0 and r ≠ 0

• Counting stops when:

[aL + (aH × 256)] = [bL + (bH × 256)] or n = 0 or r = 0

• In setting count-up mode, the minimum value of the counter is [aL + (aH × 256)] and

the maximum value is [bL + (bH × 256)]. If counting up reaches a value exceeding the maximum, it is resumed with the minimum value.

• In setting count-down mode, the maximum value of the counter is [aL + (aH × 256)]

and the minimum value is [bL + (bH × 256)]. If counting down reaches a value less than minimum, it is resumed with the maximum value.

• When the command is executed, the internal count that indicates the repetition

number specified by r is cleared. [Default] aL = 1, aH = 0, bL = 255, bH = 255, n = 1, r = 1 [Reference] $1D $43 $30, $1D $43 $32, $1D $43 $3B, $1D $63 [Example]
