4. Control Commands Details
4-1 Command Notation
[Name]
[Format]
[Range]
[Description]
The name of the command.
The code sequence. ASCII Indicates the ASCII equivalents.
Hex indicates the hexadecimal equivalents.
Decimal indicates the decimal equivalents.
[ ] k indicates the contents of the [ ] should be repeated k times.
Gives the allowable ranges for the arguments.
Describes the function of the command.
4-2 Explanation of Terms
LSB
Least Significant Bit
4-3 Control Commands Details
HT
[Name] Horizontal tab
[Format] ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 10
[Description] Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
[Notes]
This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.
Horizontal tab positions are set with ESC D.
The default tab positions are at intervals of 8 characters (columns 9, 17, 25..) for the
font B (12 x 12).
[Reference] ESC D
LF
[Name] Print and line feed
[Format] ASCII LF
Hex 0A
Decimal 10
[Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line based on the
current line spacing.
[Note] This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
[Reference] ESC 2, ESC 3

CR
[Name] Print and carriage return
[Format] ASCII CR
Hex 0D
Decimal 13
[Description] This command prints the data in the print buffer and does not feed the
paper.
[Note] Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line
[Reference] LF
DLE EOT n
[Name] Real-time status transmission
[Format] ASCII DLE EOT n
Hex 10 04 n
Decimal 16 4 n
[Range] 1 ≤ n ≤ 4
[Description] Transmits the selected printer status specified by n in real time,
according to the following parameters:
n = 1: Transmit printer status
n = 2: Transmit off-line status
n = 3: Transmit error status
n = 4: Transmit paper roll sensor status
[Notes]
This command should not be used within the data sequence of another command that
consists of 2 or more bytes. For example, If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the
printer, but DTR (DSR for the host computer) goes to MARK before n is transmitted
and then DLE EOT 3 interrupts before n is received, the code <10>H for DLE EOT 3 is
processed as the code for ESC 3
<10>H.
n = 1 : Printer status
Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Function
0 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
1 On 02 2 Not used. Fixed to On.

Off 00 0 Printing stops due to paper end. 6
On 40 64 No error. Error occurs.
7 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.

by the paper-end sensor or the paper near-end enabled by using the ESC c 4.
n = 3 : Error status
Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Function
0 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
1 On 02 2 Not used. Fixed to On.
Off 00 0 No mechanical error. 2
On 04 4 Mechanical error occurred.
Off 00 0 No auto-cutter error.
3
On 08 8 Auto-cutter error occurs.

Off 00 0 No unrecoverable error. 5
On 20 32 Unrecoverable error occurs.
Off 00 0 Automatic recover error. 6
On 40 64 No automatic recover error.
7 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
Bit 2 : If these errors occur due to paper jams or the like, it is possible to recover by
correcting the cause of the error and executing DLE ENQ 2. If an error due to a
circuit failure (e.g. wire break) occurs, it is impossible to recover.
n = 4 : Continuous paper sensor status
Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Function
0 Off 00 0 Not used. Fixed to Off.
1 On 02 2 Not used. Fixed to On.
Off 00 0 Paper near-end sensor. Paper adequate.

sensor.
4 On 10 16 Not used. Fixed to On.
Off 00 0 Paper end sensor. Paper adequate. 5, 6

DLE ENQ n
[Name] Real-time request to printer
[Format] ASCII DLE ENQ n
Hex 10 05 n
Decimal 16 5 n
[Range] n = 2
[Description] The printer responds to a request from the host specified by n.
n = 2: Recovers from an error after clearing the receive and print
buffers.
[Notes]
This command should not be used within the data sequence of another command that
consists of two or more bytes. For example,
If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host computer)
goes to MARK before n is transmitted, and DLE ENQ 2 interrupts before n is received,
the code <10>H for DLE ENQ 2 is processed as the code for ESC 3 <10>H.
This command n = 2 is valid only when a mechanical error or an auto-cutter error has
occurred.
DLE ENQ 2 enables the printer to recover from an error after clearing the data in the
receive buffer and the print buffer.
The printer retains the settings (by ESC !, ESC 3, etc.) in effect when the error
occurred. The printer can be initialized completely by using this command and ESC @.
This command is enabled only for errors that have the possibility of recovery
ESC SP n
[Name] Set right-side character spacing
[Format] ASCII ESC SP n
Hex 1B 20 n
Decimal 27 32 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
[Description] Sets the character spacing for the right side of the character to [ n x
0.122 mm {1/208 inches}] .
[Notes] The right-side character spacing for double-width mode is twice the
normal value.
[Default] n = 0
ESC ! n
[Name] Select print mode(s)
[Format] ASCII ESC ! n
Hex 1B 21 n
Decimal 27 33 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
[Description] Selects print mode(s) using n as follows:

6 - - - Undefined.
Off 00 0 Underline mode not selected. 7
On 80 128 Underline mode selected.
[Notes]
When both double-height and double-width modes are selected, quadruple size
characters are printed.
Underlining is added to the entire width of each character, including the space to the
right of a character, but is not added to portions of lines that were skipped by means of
an HT.
[Default] n = 1

ESC % n
[Name] Select/cancel user-defined character set
[Format] ASCII ESC % n
Hex 1B 25 n
Decimal 27 37 n
[Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255
[Description] Selects or cancels the user-defined character set.
When the Least Significant Bit (LSB) is 0, the user-defined character
set is canceled and the internal character set is enabled.
When the LSB is 1, the user-defined character set is selected.
[Notes]
When the downloaded character set has been released, the internal character set is
specified automatically.
[Default] n = 0
