1. General Information
1.1 Key Terms
Real-time commands – These commands are acted on immediately upon being received by the printer
(regardless the printer’s busy or error status).
Page mode -- Under this mode, the printer possesses all data in specified memory and thinks of this as
a virtual page. The page is printed when the printer receives print command either FF or ESC FF.
Standard mode – Standard mode is the default mode of printer uses to operate. Under this mode, the
printer prints data and feeds paper upon print line buffer full (data is enough for one print line) or
receiving print command like LF.
Marked paper mode– Configuration of printer is marked paper.
Presenter – Presenter is the front mechanism of the KIOSK printer. It is used to accommodate the
printout during printing and retract the printout when user does not want the printout. It is abbreviated as
PRST in this programming manual.
HRI Characters – Human readable interpretation of the barcode.
NV – Non-volatile memory in which data stored does not loss when power off.
RAM – Random Access Memory
Motion unit – The motion unit has vertical motion unit and horizontal motion unit, which specify the least
space for vertical motion and horizontal motion.
ASB – Auto status back
DPI – Print dots per inch (one inch equals to 25.4mm). It is used to identify the resolution of a printer. FI,
203DPI means 203 print dots per inch. DPI: Dot Per Inch.
Mini-breadth – To ensure PRESENTER to feed labels out of printer, mini-breadth is allowed before
cutting operation, which should be the space from Presenter to cutter.
Font 0 – A standard character, Font A size for 203 DPI model is 12 x 24; the size for 300 DPI is 18 x 34;
Font 1 – Compressed character, Font B size for 203 DPI model is 9 X 17; the size for 300 DPI is 13 X
24;
Asia Character Set – Double-byte code character used in Asia, the size for 203DPI is 24 x 24; the size
for 300DPI is 36 x 36.

Horizontal tab.
ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 9
Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.
If this command is received when the printing position is at max printable space,
the printer executes print buffer-full printing of the current line and moves the
print position to the beginning of next line.
Horizontal tab positions are set with ESC D.
When the print buffer is full, the printer acts as follows,
1) Under standard mode, prints current line and moves the print position to
the beginning of next line.
2) Under page mode, executes carriage return and moves the print position
to the beginning of next line.
The default setting of the horizontal tab position for the paper roll is every 8th
ASCII character.

Under standard mode, prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line. It only
feeds one line when current buffer area is blank.
Under page mode, executes carriage return and moves the print position to the
beginning of next line.
This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.

The printer transmits specified status immediately upon receiving this command, when
the command is enabled.
Even though the printer is not selected using ESC = (select peripheral device), this
command is still effective.
The printer transmits the status without confirming whether the host computer can
receive data.
This command is only valid for serial and USB interfaces. If printer has these two
interfaces, data shall return to them at the same time.
The reset command is used to clear the error status and the print buffer as well. Make
sure to cancel the print duty in the application when using this command.

Sets the character spacing for the right side of the character to [n × horizontal or
vertical motion units] inches.
The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P.
Without setting of right character spacing, only changing the horizontal or vertical
motion unit does not affect the current right-side spacing.
The right-side character spacing for double-width mode is twice the normal value.
When characters are enlarged, the right-side character spacing is enlarged
accordingly.
This command sets values independently in each mode (standard and page
modes).
In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.
In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit is specified depending on
starting position of the printable area as follows:
1 When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printable area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
2 When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printable area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
For 300DPI printers, the maximum right-side spacing is 288/305 inches. Any setting
exceeding the maximum is converted to the maximum automatically.
For 203DPI printers, the maximum right-side spacing is 288/203 inches. Any setting
exceeding the maximum is converted to the maximum automatically.

The data to define a user-defined character is (y × x) bytes.
Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or 0 to not print a dot.

The line spacing can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode.
The horizontal and vertical motion units are specified by GS P. Changing the
horizontal or vertical motion unit does not affect the current line spacing.
In standard mode, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
In page mode, this command functions as follows, depending on the starting
position and direction of the printable area:
① When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of
the printable area with ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
② When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of

used.
The maximum paper feed amount is 600 mm (23.6 inches) for 300 DPI printer and
900mm (35.4 inches) for 203 DPI printer. If a paper feed amount of more than 600
mm (300DPI) or 900mm (203DPI) is set, the printer feeds the paper only 600mm

Sets horizontal tab positions.
♦ n+1 specifies the column number for setting a horizontal tab position from the

♦ k indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set.
The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width × n] measured

spacing, and double-width characters are set with twice the width of normal
characters.
This command cancels the previous horizontal tab settings.
Up to 32 tab positions (k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab positions is
processed as normal data.
Transmit [n] k in ascending order and place a NUL code 0 at the end.
When [n] k is less than or equal to the preceding value [n] k-1, tab setting is finished

The horizontal starting position, vertical starting position, printing area width, and

setting for the printing area is calculated as follows:
Horizontal starting position: x0 = [(xL + xH × 256) × (horizontal motion unit)]inches
Vertical starting position: y0 = [(yL + yH × 256) × (vertical motion unit)]inches
Printing area width: dx = [dxL + dxH × 256] × (horizontal motion unit)]inches

If this command is input in standard mode, the printer executes only internal flag
