the unidirection. Adjusts line spacing for a line data being
continuous.
Specifies a print position to the left by using the
command after printing the date and time in the center of the
paper roll.
Selects the 7 x 9 font by using the
the Item A.
Specifies double-height by using the
prints “TOTAL” in the unidirection. Cancels the double-height
and prints in the bidirectional mode for other lines.
Feeds the paper to the cutting position and executes cutting.

Tips (Print commands)
■ ■ ■
■ ■ ■
more
These are the print commands. All the commands have the same printing result but an operation after
printing differs depending on the command. Using the appropriate command enables you to easily make an
effective program for issuing a receipt.
<LF: Print and line feed>
The command is used to print and feed one line.
<CR: Print and carriage return>
With a serial interface or a parallel interface with auto line feed disabled, if the printer has a serial dot
head, printing on the same line is enabled. The program example shows a procedure for overwriting the
previous line.
The program example illustrates printing with CR shown in lines 100, 120, and 140 and if you do not
have any corrections, then you feed paper with LF shown in lines 110, and 150. When you have a
correction, transmitting [character data + LF] to perform printing on the same line shown in line 130.
Sending bit image data instead of character data enables execution of mesh printing.
Program Example Print Sample
100 PRINT #1, “TM-U200B $20.00”;CHR$(&HD); ← Print using CR
110 PRINT #1, CHR$(&HA);
120 PRINT #1, “TM-U200D $24.00”;CHR$(&HD);
130 PRINT #1, “
140 PRINT #1, “TM-U200D $21.00”;CHR$(&HD);
150 PRINT #1, CHR$(&HA);

This example illustrates ESC/POS command functions and printing results. It shows a receipt issue processing
with a bar code and its procedure using the TM-T88II.
Set DIP switch 2-1 of the TM-T88 to On (customer display connected), insert the plug of the DM-D102 firmly
into the customer display connector (DM-D) which is on the bottom of the printer, and then turn on the
printer power.

Tips (bar code printing)
Some printers such as the TM-T88II and TM-L60II support bar code printing. ESC/POS supports UPC-A, UPC-E,
JAN13(EAN13), JAN8(EAN8), CODE39, ITF (interleaved 2 of 5), CODABAR(NW7), CODE93, and CODE128.
When the standard mode is selected, a bar code and a character cannot be printed on the same printing line
and a ladder bar code cannot be printed. Page mode, which has a flexible layout for printing a character, a
bit image, and a bar code, should be selected when printing a bar code and a character on the same line or
printing a ladder code. When page mode is selected, a character and a bar code can be overlapped but the
bar code cannot be read. Be sure to check data layout so that a bar code can be read.
Basic processing for bar code printing (example):
Procedures:
1. Select a bar code height with
2. Select a bar code width with
3. Select the printing position for HRI characters with

Tips (standard mode/page mode)
Some of the TM printers, such as the TM-T88II and the TM-L60II, support two different print modes:
standard mode and page mode.
The standard mode is supported by all printers and in this mode, the printers print data in the print buffer
by executing the print commands (such as LF, CR, and

The flexible layout enables you to execute printing which you cannot accomplish in the standard mode.

Characters and bit images can be rotated (90° clockwise, 180° clockwise (upside down), or 90°

Tips (label printer)
Some TM printers, such as the TM-L60II, can print on labels. ESC/POS has label commands for the mechanism

commands such as a serial number counter that apply to the label printers.
Printing on one label
If you want to repeat the flow of the operation of printing on a label, peeling it off, and pasting it, use
