1 Overview

This manual classifies the printer commands into several kinds based on its functions, and also describes the applications of relative commands in detail depending on its sorts. We hope that it is helpful for programmers to get known of those commands.

1.1 Commands classification

This receipt printer commands are classified as below:

Print commands: used for printing and feeding paper;

Position commands: to control the print position;

Character commands: to set characters property;

Bitmap commands: to download bitmap and print, including NV and RAM bitmap;

Status commands: used for printer status query;

Barcode commands: barcode print and property settings;

Other commands: used for periphery control, Micro-definition and initialization;

Command instruction refers to the detailed function of relative commands.

1.2 Key terms

Real-time commands – These commands are acted on immediately upon being received by the printer.

Print buffers – used to store figure data to be printed;

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, namely line mode. 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;

HRI character – Human Readable Interface;

NV – Non-volatile memory in which data stored does not loss when power off.

RAM – Random Access Memory;

DPI – Print dots per inch (one inch equals to 25.4mm). It is used to identify the resolution of a printer. Example, 203DPI means 203 print dots per inch.

Baseline – The standard position where character data in print buffers are stored. The figure shows the position of ordinary characters in standard mode and page mode:

[Function] The name and function summary of commands;

[Format] The command expressed in ASCII, Hex and Decimal separately. If not specified, the value in “range” part is decimal. For instance, in range” 1 ≤ n≤

4”, ‘1’ is not an ASCII code but a decimal number;

[Range] The value range of parameter in the command;

[Note] Explain the main features and application notices of commands;

[Default] The initial value used after the printer initialized;

[Relative] Other commands related to current commend;

[Demo] Example used for current or relative commands.

All command data in programming Demo use HEX. All normal font/characters are data. There is no explanation for the data of command such as 42 43 which is data. The font/character underlined and emphasized is a command such as 1B 40. All the data inside parentheses after all commands in Demo is used to explain the meanings of this command. The parentheses and data inside it is not the command to be transmitted to the printer.

This command is effective to all characters (alphanumeric and Kanji) except for HRI characters.

If n is outside of the defined range, this command will be ignored.

In standard mode, the vertical direction is the paper feed direction, and the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the paper feed direction. However, when character orientation changes in 90° clockwise-rotation, the relationship between vertical and horizontal directions is reversed.

In page mode, vertical and horizontal directions are based on the character orientation.

When characters are enlarged with different sizes on one line, all the characters on the line are aligned at the baseline.

The ESC ! command can also turn double-width and double-height modes on or off. However, the setting of the last received command is effective.

The horizontal and vertical motion units are set by GS P. The previously specified character spacing does not change, even if the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed using GS P.

· In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used.

· In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs in page mode, 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, 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, the vertical motion unit ( y) is used.

3) The maximum Chinese Kanji spacing is approximately 36 mm. Any setting exceeding the maximum is converted to the maximum automatically.

[Notes] ·Define the NV bit image specified by n. The max capacity of Flash is

256K( May be less than 256K according to different configuration).

· n specifies the number of the defined NV bit image.

· xL, xH specifies ( xL + xH × 256) × 8 dots in the horizontal direction for the NV bit image you are defining.

· yL, yH specifies ( yL + yH × 256) × 8 dots in the vertical direction for the NV bit image you are defining.

· Frequent write command execution may cause damage the NV memory.

Therefore, it is recommended to write the NV memory 10 times or less a day.

·This command cancels all NV bit images that have already been defined by this command. The printer can not redefine only one of several data definitions previously defined. In this case, all data needs to be sent again.

· Before the ending of the processing of this command mechanical operations

(including initializing the position of the printer head when the cover is open, paper feeding by using the FEED button, etc.) cannot be performed, also sending command including real-time command is forbidden.

NV bit image means a bit image which is defined in a non-volatile memory by

FS q and printed by FS p.

· In standard mode, this command is effective only when processed at the beginning of the line.

· This 7 bytes <from FS~yH> is command data but not data of image.

· When the amount of data exceeds the capacity left in the range defined by xL, xH, yL, yH, the printer processes xL, xH, yL, yH out of the defined range.

· In the first group of NV bit images, when any of the parameters xL, xH, yL, yH is out of the definition range, this command is disabled.

· In groups of NV bit images other than the first one, when the printer processes xL, xH, yL, yH out of the defined range, it stops processing this command. At this time, NV bit images that haven’t been defined are disabled (undefined), but any NV bit images before that are enabled.

· The d indicates the definition data. In data (d) a 1 bit specifies a dot to be printed and a 0 bit specifies a dot not to be printed.

· This command defines n as the number of a NV bit image. Numbers rise in order from NV bit image 01H. Therefore, the first data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image 01H, and the last data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is

NV bit image n. The total agrees with the number of NV bit images specified by command FS p.

· A definition data of a NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1...dk]. Therefore, when only one NV bit image is defined n=1, the printer processes a data group

[xL xH yL yH d1...dk] once. The printer uses ([data: (xL + xH × 256) × ( yL + yH

× 256) × 8] + [header:4]) bytes of NV memory.

· The download area in Flash of this printer is a maximum of 64K bits (8K bytes).

This command can define several NV bit images, but cannot define a bit image data whose total capacity [bit image data + header] exceeds 64K bits (The download area is different according to different configuration).

· The printer is busy immediately before writing into Flash.

· When this command is received during macro definition, the printer ends macro definition, and begins performing this command.

· Once a NV bit image is defined, it is not erased by performing ESC @, reset, and power off.

· This command performs only definition of a NV bit image and does not perform printing. Printing of the NV bit image is performed by the FS p command.

·When JAN8 (EAN8) selected, printer ignores the following data after receiving

13 bytes of barcode data.

· The number of data for ITF bar code must be even numbers. When an odd number of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.

· The beginning code and the ending code of CODEBAR barcode must be one of A, B, C and D. The ending codes can use T, E, * and N to ends.

[Notes ]

· n indicates the number of barcode data, and the printer processes n bytes from the next character data as barcode data.

· If n is outside of the specified range, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.

[Notes ( standard mode)]

· If d is outside of the specified range, the command is ignored.

· If the horizontal size of the barcode exceeds printing area, the command is ignored.

· This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the barcode, regardless of the line spacing specified by ESC 2 or ESC 3.

· This command is enabled only when no data exists in the print buffer. When data exists in the print buffer, the command is ignored.

· After printing barcode, this command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.

· This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike, underline, character size, white/black reverse printing, or 90° rotated character, etc.), except for upside-down printing mode.

[Notes in page mode]

· This command develops bar code data in the print buffer, but does not print it.

After processing barcode data, this command moves the print position to the right side dot of the barcode.

· If d is out of the specified range, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.

· If barcode width exceeds the printing area, the printer does not print the barcode.

When CODE128 ( m = 73) is used:

· Refer to Appendix A for the information of the CODE 128 barcode and its code table.

· When using the CODE 128 in this printer, take the following points into account for data transmission:

1)The top of the bar code data string must be code set selection character (any of CODE A, CODE B or CODE C) which selects

2)Special characters are defined by combining two characters "{" and one character. The ASCII character "{" is defined by transmitting "{" twice consecutively.

3 Programming Process Guide

Because the different printing status and error can be transmitted by Auto Status Back

(ASB) command, it is recommended that you can use ASB command to inquiry status. ASB command is effective when power on the printer and can be directly sent to inquiry the status.

The recommended programming process is shown as below:

1) Inquiry the printer status

Make sure that the printer status is normal before sending data to print.

2) Intitialize the printer

Make sure that the previous setting does not affect the current printing.

3) Setup the print content

Setup the print content such as character property, bitmap property and barcode property etc for the needed printing effect.

4) Send the data for printing (including the setup command befor printing)

If the printing data is bitmap data, please do not send the status inquiry command before sending printing data.

5) Inquiry the printer status after printing

If ASB is enabled, the printer will return the printer status automatically.

Appendix

Appendix A: Code128 Bar Code

A.1 Description of the CODE128 Bar Code

In CODE128 bar code system, it is possible to represent 128 ASCII characters and

2-digit numerals using one bar code character that is defined by combining one of the

103 bar code characters and 3 code sets. Each code set is used for representing the following characters:

· Code set A: ASCII characters 00H to 5FH

· Code set B: ASCII characters 20H to 7FH

· Code set C: 2-digit numeral characters using one character (100 numerals from 00 to

99)

The following special characters are also available in CODE128:

· SHIFT characters

In code set A, the character just after SHIFT is processed as a character for code set

B. In code set B, the character just after SHIFT is processed as a character for code set A.

SHIFT characters cannot be used in code set C.

· Code set selection character (CODE A, CODE B, CODE C).

This character switches the following code set to code set A, B, or C.

· Function character (FNC1, FNC2, FNC3, FNC4)

The usage of function characters depends on the application software. In code set C, only FNC1 is available.

In page mode, all the received print data and paper feed commands are processed in the specified memory, and the printer executes no operations. All the data in the memory is then printed when an

ESC FF or FF command is received.

For example, when the printer receives the data "ABCDEF" <LF> in standard mode, it prints "ABCDEF" and feeds the paper by one line. In page mode, "ABCDEF" is written to

144

Confidential

RS-T80 Programming Manual the specified printing area in memory, and the position in memory for the next print data is shifted by one line.

The ESC L command puts the printer into page mode, and all commands received thereafter are processed in page mode. Executing an ESC FF command prints the received data collectively, and executing an FF command restores the printer to standard mode after the received data is printed collectively. Executing an ESC S command restores the printer to standard mode without printing the received data in page mode; the received data is cleared from memory instead.

Shifting Between Standard Mode and Page Mode

B.2 Setting Values in Standard and Page Modes

1) The available commands and parameters are the same for both standard and page modes. However, these values can be set independently in each mode for the ESC SP,

ESC 2

, ESC 3, and FS S commands. For these commands, different settings can be stored for each mode.

B.3 Formatting of Print Data in the Printable Area

Formatting of print data in the printable area is performed as follows:

1) The printable area is set using ESC W. If all printing and feeding are complete before the printer receives the ESC W command, the left side (as you face the printer) is taken as the origin (x0, y0) of the printable area. The printable rectangular area is defined by the length (dx dots) extending from and including the origin (x0, y0) in the x direction

(perpendicular to the paper feed direction), and by the length (dy dots) in the y direction

(paper feed direction). (If the ESC W command is not used, the printable area remains the default value.)

2) When the printer receives print data after ESC W sets the printable area and ESC T sets the printing direction, the print data is formatted within the printable area so that point

A in Figure B.2 is at the beginning of the printable area as a default value. (When a character is printed, point A is the baseline.)

Print data containing downloaded bit images or bar codes is formatted so that the bottom point of the left side of the image data (point B in Figure B.3) is aligned with the baseline.

However, any Human Readable Interpretation (HRI) characters are printed under the baseline. At the points labeled Point B, if characters (such as double-height characters) higher than normal size characters or downloaded bit image characters are received, any part of the character higher than the normal-size character is not printed.

3) If the print data (including the space to the right of a character) exceeds the printable area before the printer receives a command (e.g., LF or ESC J) that includes line feeding, a line feed is executed automatically within the printable area. The print position, therefore, moves to the beginning of the next line. The line feed amount depends on the values set by commands (such as ESC 2 and ESC 3).

4) The default value of the line spacing is set to 1/6 inch and corresponds to 31 dots in the vertical direction. If print data for the next line contains extended characters that are higher than double-height characters, bit images taking up two or more lines, or bar codes higher than normal characters, the amount of line feeding may be insufficient, resulting in overlapping of the characters' higher-order dots with the previous line. To avoid this, increase the amount of line spacing.

Example

When printing a downloaded bit image of six bytes in the vertical direction, use the following formula:

{number of vertical dots (8×6) - number of dots for feeding at the beginning of the printable area (24)} × vertical motion unit conversions (180/180) = 24

Therefore, 24 dots are required for feeding.

Use the following commands:

ESC W xL , xH, yL, yH, dxL, dxH, dyL, dyH

ESC T n

ESC 3 24 ¬ Set line spacing to be added.

LF

GS / 1

ESC 2 ¬ Reset the line spacing to 1/6 inch.

NOTE: Vertical and horizontal motion units are 1/180 in the vertical direction and 1/203 in the horizontal direction; therefore, the position you specify varies depending on the printing direction. Setting the vertical motion unit to 1/180 using the GS P command does not change the current print position.
