[Notes]

This is a status request command to determine if the printer is off-line or if an error condition has occurred. Take the following into consideration:

• If this command interrupts the code string of another command, this command is processed as a parameter of the other command; therefore, the print result will not be correct.

• If a command such as graphics data or defined data has a code string

that is the same as a code string in a parameter, the printer processes and then continues with the bit-image or other command.

• This command following DLE can be executed in real-time command

mode.

This command is ignored when transmitting block data (Header ~ NUL).

For PDF417 symbol data (when cn=48) ▪ The symbol data specified by Function 080 d1...dk is stored in the printer

and is printed by the specification of Function 081. The symbol data in the save area is reserved until the following processing is performed:

- Function 080 is executed

- ESC @ is executed

- The printer is reset or the power is turned off ▪ When processing Function 081 or 082, the setting values of Functions

065 to 070 are used. If the printable area is not large enough, the symbol may not be printed.

▪ Executing Function 081 after executing Function 080 repeatedly prints the

same symbol data.

▪ By using Functions 065 to 070 combined with Function 081, the same

symbol data d1...dk is printed differently.

▪ By using Function 082, the symbol size printed by Function 081 is available.

QRCODE Symbol Data (cn = 49) ▪ Symbol data is saved according to <Function 180> and printed according

to <Function 181>. The symbol data in the storage area is saved until the following actions:

- Execution of Function 180

- Execution of ESC @

- Turn off printer power ▪ When either Function 181 or Function 182 is executed, the setting values

of Functions 165~169 are used. If the printable area is insufficient in size, the symbol data is not printed.

▪ According to the settings of <Function 165> to <Function 169>, <Function

181> has and prints the same data d1….dk.

▪ <Function 182> uses the size printed by <Function 181>.

- Data specified by Function 080.

- The descriptor of symbol length. (the first code word in the data area)

- The error correction code word calculated by modulus 929.

- Pad codeword. ▪ When auto processing (Function 065) is specified, the number of

columns is calculated by the current printing area, module width (Function

067), option setting (Function 070), and the code word in the data area.

The maximum number of columns is 30. ▪ When auto processing (Function 066) is specified in page mode, the

number of rows is calculated by the current printing area, module height

(Function 068), and the code word in the data area. The maximum number

of rows is 90.

▪ Printing of symbol is not affected by print mode (emphasized, double-

strike, underline, white/black reverse printing, or 90˚ clockwise-rotated),

except for character size and upside-down printing mode. ▪ In standard mode, this command executes paper feeding for the amount

needed for printing the symbol, regardless of the paper feed amount set by

the paper feed setting command. The printing position returns to the left

side of the printable area after printing the symbol, and printer is in the

status “beginning of the line,” or “ there is no data in the print buffer.” ▪ In page mode, the printer stores the symbol data in the print buffer without

executing actual printing. The printer moves printing position to the next

dot of the last data of the symbol. ▪ The quiet zone is not included in the printing data. Be sure to include the

quiet zone when using this function.

cannot be done.

- There is no data. (Function 180 cannot be executed)

- The four types of data compression mode are as follows: *Numeric Data Code *Alphanumeric Data mode *Kanji Data mode

*8 bit Data mode Note: According to the symbol data in the data storage area, automatic

conversion to optimal compression is done.

▪ The following data is automatically added during encoding:

- Segregator for the position sensor pattern

- Timing pattern

- Format information

- Version information

- Error correction code text

- Pad code text

- Indicator for counting bits of bytes

- Mode indicator

- Queue pattern (when model 2 is selected)

- Expansion pattern (when model 1 is selected) ▪ During symbol printing, the printer mode has no effect (bold, underline, reverse direction, contrast). ▪ In regular mode, this command supplies enough paper required for

symbol printing. If the paper supply is not sufficient, the paper supply command is executed. When printing, the printing position is to the left of the print area. After symbol printing, the printer returns to the start position of the line, and the buffer is emptied.

▪ During symbol printing, the printer mode has no effect (bold, underline, reverse direction, contrast).

▪ In regular mode, this command supplies enough paper required for

symbol printing. If the paper supply is not sufficient, the paper supply command is executed. When printing, the printing position is to the left of the print area. After symbol printing, the printer returns to the start position of the line, and the buffer is emptied.

Encodes and prints DATAMATRIX symbol data saved in the storage area ▪ This function is used in regular mode when the printer is at the first line or

no data is present in the printer buffer.

▪ If the size of any one symbol is larger than the print area, printing cannot

be done.

▪ If any of the following errors is present in the symbol storage area, printing

cannot be done:

- There is no data. (Function 380 cannot be executed)

- The number of alphanumeric characters exceeds 2334.

- The number of 8bit byte characters exceeds 1558.

- The number of numeric characters exceeds 3116.

▪ DATAMATRIX uses ECC 200 symbols. ▪ In the detection and correction of errors, DATAMATRIX uses the Reed-

Solomon algorithm.

▪ The following data is automatically added during the encoding process:

- Position pattern

- Error correction code text

- Mode separator

- Pad code text

▪ During symbol printing, the printer mode has no effect (bold, underline, reverse direction, contrast).

▪ pL, pH is used to set the number of bytes following pH to (pL + pH x 256). ▪ The change in the items of the NV user memory is available only after

entering the user setting mode.

▪ After completing the user setting mode (Function 2), the printer performs

software reset to restore the initial settings in effect at power on. Receive and print buffers are cleared as well.

▪ Since frequent write operation by this command may deteriorate the

performance of the NV memory, it is recommended to write to NV memory when the significant change in the setting is required.

▪ While processing this command, the printer remains busy. Therefore the

data transmission by the host is not available. The real time commands and ASB operations are not processed.

▪ This command is adapted to print image data. ▪ pL, pH specifies the number of bytes following pH using (pL + pH x 256). ▪ Since frequent writing operation could cause the damage to the NV

memory, it is recommended to write only when being required.

▪ While storing data by this command, the printer is in BUSY state where

receiving of data is not available. Therefore, it is not recommended to send data during this process.

▪ The real time commands and ASB operations are not allowed during NV

memory operation process.

- When set to Dynamic sentinel characters mode, the header and the footer, which have been used in None sentinel character mode, are not used any more and the specified Start characters and End characters are added to the beginning parts and the end parts of each track data to be transmitted.

- When set to Dynamic sentinel characters mode but Start characters and End characters are not set by fn2 and fn3 of BS M S command respectively, the default Start and End characters are applied to card data to be transmitted to host.

- When set to Dynamic sentinel character mode, <CR/LF> characters after End characters are automatically applied to the card data to be transmitted to host.
