Read Carefully Before Using the Printer
Wrong handling of the printer may cause its performance declined and the product damaged. Please read
the notes below before handling.
1. Static discharge prevention must be made for installation and removal of the printer to protect IC and
other electrical parts. Connect it to the earth ground. It is also requested to remove the static from
body of the person before handling, especially, the input terminal.
2. Avoid excessive force to the input terminal for handling.
3. When any type of paper, other than specified in this manual, is used, it may cause deterioration of the
print quality and thermal head reliability.
Examples of troubles
1) Print quality deterioration by using low sensitivity paper.
2) Thermal head wears due to roughness of paper surface.
3) Sticking between heat receipt layer and thermal head, and vibration noise during printing.
4) Print ink disappears on low print durability paper.
5) Electrolyte corrosion on thermal head due to low quality of heat receipt layer.
4. Avoid printing with no paper loaded. It damages platen and thermal head, printer life will be shorten.
5. Do not scrabble thermal head with sharp edge or something hard, or give impact. The heat element
may be damaged.
6. Set the power of printer off before connecting or removing connecters.
7. When printing in high speed under low temperature of high humidity environment, the paper may be
stained by moisture that appears from paper, or the printer may have condensation. Avoid dew from
dropping down to the thermal head that may cause electrolyte corrosion. Turn the power off until any
dew is removed.
8. The printer is not protected from water or dew formed. Do not water the printer or handle it with a wet
hand, which may cause damage to the printer due to short circuit, or heat or fire.
9. The printer is not protected from dust or dirt. If it is used at dusty place, the thermal head may be
damaged or paper feed is not operated properly.
10. When cooling the printer with a fan, avoid the printer’s paper outlet from locating fan’s air inlet. It may
cause mal-function of printer.
11. Reflection type of infrared ray sensors are used at some locations in the printer. Direct sun light may
cause mal-function of printer. Avoid from such a location for installation.
12. This printer does not support any operations caused by the commands or control commands not
specified in this manual.
13. Please use both hand when you hold the printer.
14. In order to prevent excess current, please put elemental device to external 24V power line (Please
refer to the power supply specification for the details), and also put fuse.
15. Please plug off the printer when you do not use the product for a long time. Please also insert paper
between the platen.
16. When paper jam occurred, please make sure to slowly remove the paper to paper exit direction
after head up status.
17. The product is designed to use with general electronic devices (Computer, PC, OA, others). This is not
designed and not guaranteed to use with extremely high quality, high reliability product or product whose
failure may danger human life (Atomic power control device, aerospace aircraft devices, Transportation
devices, Traffic signal devices, Ignition control devices, Medical devices, other safety equipments: we call
“Specific application” thereafter). Users take full responsibility for using with such specific application.
18. The product uses part that includes GaAS (Gallium arsenide). Please do not break the product, no
chemical splitting ,otherwise it may harm human with such part broken pieces.
19. If less than Ø18 mm roll paper is used, the paper may be prevented to exit. Please do not use roll
paper with coreless.

Data is printed in 24 dot bit image of resolution of 203 x 203DPI.
z Print total dots divided by 256, quotient is n2 and remainder is n1.
z Total dots in bit image mode are n1 + (256 x n2).
z If the bit image input data exceeds 1 dot/line position, the exceeded data will be
disregarded and it is not automatically printed in the next line.
z Bit image data (Dn) interprets bit 1 as print and bit 0 as not print.
z The total dots to be printed in the bit image must be the same with quantity of bit image
data that corresponds to the dots. If quantity of bit image data is less than the total dots,
the same amount of following data, same as the balance, is treated as bit image data. If it
is more than the total dots, the same exceeding volume of bit image data will be treated
as normal data.
z When bit image is continuously printed, print by lines (3mm) and stop is repeated for such
reason as communication speed and others, the print density may not be consistent. Use
NV bit image to solve the problem.

2 and 3 cannot be guaranteed.
2. E: Correction level
* Selects error correction level to be used for restoring QR symbol.
* Following values can be assigned.
* If invalid value is assigned, the printer determines it to be L.
E Correction level Restore. capability
0 L 7%
1 M 15%
2 Q 25%
3 H 30%
3. M: Input data mode
* Assign input data mode.
* Following modes can be assigned.
* If invalid mode is commanded, data is ignored until valid
mode is commanded.
M Input data mode
“N” Numeric mode
“A” Alpha numeric mode
“B” 8 bit byte mode
* If multiple modes should be input, each mode data (M + data) needs to be separated by
“ , ”.
* If you want to input “ , ” and NUL in the data of 8 bit byte mode, input “ ! ” <21>h+”,” and
“ ! ”<21> h + NUL.
* “ ! ” itself is input as “ ! ” + ” ! ”
Restrictions
Available QR codes are from version 1 to version 14 of model 1 symbols.
If input data exceeds the area to be printed, QR code is not printed.

Data is printed in a raster bit image.
・Dn is a raster bit image data.
・The printer prints raster bit image of width n1 byte by height n2+(256*n3) dot lines.
・The total byte of the requested raster bit image data (Dn) is n1*(n2+(256*n3)).
・Raster bit image data (Dn) exceeding the printing field will be disregarded.
・Raster bit image data (Dn) interprets bit”1” as print and bit”0” as not print.
・Relation between raster bit image data (Dn) and printed dots are as follows.

Data is printed in 24 dot bit image of resolution of 203 x 203DPI.
z Print total dots divided by 256, quotient is n2 and remainder is n1.
z Total dots in bit image mode are n1 + (256 x n2).
z If the bit image input data exceeds 1 dot/line (432 dots) position, the exceeded data will be
disregarded and it is not automatically printed in the next line.
z Bit image data (Dn) interprets bit 1 as print and bit 0 as not print.
z The total dots to be printed in the bit image must be the same with quantity of bit image
data that corresponds to the dots. If quantity of bit image data is less than the total dots,
the same amount of following data, same as the balance, is treated as bit image data. If it
is more than the total dots, the same exceeding volume of bit image data will be treated
as normal data.
z This command is effective only in case of “Print/Edit direction 1”.
