2. COMMAND DETAILS
2.1. Explanation of Terms
• Reception buffer
The buffer for storing data (reception data) received from the host, as it is called the reception buffer.
Reception data is temporarily stored in the reception buffer, then processed sequentially.
• Line buffer
The buffer for storing image data for printing is called the line buffer.
• Line buffer full
The state in which the buffer has no more space available is called line buffer full. When the buffer is full in standard mode,
data in the line buffer is printed and a line feed is performed when new print data is processed. This is the same as a Line
Feed. When the line buffer is full in the page mode, the printer move the print position to the head of the next line then starts
with the new print data.
• Top of line
The top of line is a state that satisfies the following conditions.
- There is currently no print data in the line buffer.
- The position is not specified with the horizontal direction position command.
• Printable region
This is the maximum printable area with the printer’s specifications.
• Print region
This is the printing area specified by a command. (Print region ≤ printable region)
• ANK character base line
* For SM-S and T series, the base line is the upper end of each data.
* For the expansion position of the print data in page mode, refer to “Appendix 5 Explanation of Page Mode”.
• ASB Function
Sends the automatic status to the host each time the printer’s status changed.
• NSB Function
When the printer uses a parallel I/F or USB I/F, sends the automatic status each time the reverse transfer mode is entered.
When the printer uses Ethernet I/F or wireless I/F, sends the automatic status when the printer is connected to the print port
(TCP#9100). The ASB and NSB status formats are the same.

Rev. 2.25
2.2. Exception Processing
1) Undefined codes
Codes from <00>H to <1F>H are targeted. When codes not defined as commands in this region are received, they are
discarded.
(Ex.) If processing the data string of <30>H<31>H<03>H<32>H<0A>H<33>H, the printer will discard <03>H as an
undefined code.
2) Undefined commands
When the data following the ESC code is a code that is not defined as a command, ESC and subsequent codes are
discarded.
(Ex.) If processing the data string of <30>H<1B>H<22>H<31>H<32>H, the printer will read and discard <1B>H<22>H
as an undefined command.
When the data following ESC is FS, and the data following that is not defined as a command, ESC FS and the code which
follows (total 3 bytes) are discarded.
When the data following ESC is GS, and the data which follows it is a code that is not defined as a command, ESC GS
and the code which follows it (total 3 bytes) is read and discarded.
When the data following ESC is RS, and the data which follows it is a code that is not defined as a command, ESC RS
and the 2-byte code which follows it (total 4 bytes) is read and discarded.
3) Settings outside of the defined area
Processing values outside of the defined area in commands accompanying arguments, those commands are ignored and
the preset values are unchanged.
(Ex.) If processing the data string of <1B>H<52>H<15>H, the printer will discard the data string of <1B>H<52>H<15>H
because although <1B>H<52>H is defined as a commands (ESC R), the argument <15>H is outside of the
definition. Therefore, the international character set that is already set experiences no change.

[Initial Value] - - [Function] Writes data into a blank code page.
A blank code page indicates a character code table where character codes from 80h to FFh are all blank.
A blank code page can be selected using the ESC GS t n command n = 255.
The following is the data written to the blank code page.
Font-A: 1 character = 48 bytes 6144 bytes = 48 bytes x 128 characters
Font-B: 1 character = 48 bytes 6144 bytes = 48 bytes x 128 characters
Font-C: 1 character = 34 bytes 4352 bytes = 34 bytes x 128 characters
Send Font-A, Font-B and Font-C data continuously.
For models that do not support Font-C, only send Font-A / Font-B data.
The printer is reset when writing with this command is completed.

[Function] Specifies and cancels the shift JIS Kanji character mode.
When in shift JIS Kanji character mode, character codes are all handled as 2 byte Kanji characters (First
byte: upper code; second byte: lower code).
This command is ignored for models not equipped with Japanese and Kanji characters and when the
specification for the location of use is specified as SBCS (single byte countries) by the memory switch.
This command is ignored when UTF-8 is specified (command: ESC GS t 128) for MBCS.

[Function] Adds n1 dots left space amount and n2 dots right space amount to Kanji characters.
The Kanji character width is "left space amount” + "Kanji font dot count” + "right space amount.”
(See the information on character specifications in the appropriate printer specifications manual for
details on the Kanji font dot count.)
This command is ignored for models not equipped with Kanji fonts (for overseas) and when the
specification for the location of use is specified as SBCS (single byte countries) by the memory switch.
Standard mode and page mode can be set independently of each other.

The half-size Kanji character width is "left space amount” + " half-size Kanji font dot count” + "right
Space amount.”
(See the information on character specifications in the appropriate printer specifications manual for
details on the half-size Kanji font dot count.)

[Function] Registers Kanji download characters to c1 and c2 addresses.
Those already registered to these addresses are overwritten. If c1 and c2 are outside of the defined are or
the printer is model not equipped with Kanji fonts (for overseas) and when the specification for the location
of use is specified as SBCS (single byte countries) by the memory switch, the printer discards up to d1

(*) The registration region is the same for Japanese characters in JIS or shift JIS.
