about the operating status of the printer. The following diagnostic tests are available. • Start-up diagnostics Performed during the printer’s start-up cycle. • Runtime diagnostics Performed during normal printer operation. • Remote diagnostics Maintained during normal operation and reported in the print test. • The printer can be configured with the following settings and functions through the configuration menu that is printed on the receipt. For more information on configuring the printer, see “Printer configuration” on page 13. Communication interfaces Diagnostic modes Printer emulations/software options Hardware options Paper Type Firmware features Start-up Diagnostics When the printer receives power or performs a hardware reset, it automatically performs the startup diagnostics (also known as level 0 diagnostics) during the start-up cycle. The following diagnostics are performed: • Turn off motors • Perform boot CRC check of the firmware ROM and test main program CRC Failure causes Start-up Diagnostics to stop; the printer beeps and the LED flashes a set number of times, indicating the nature of the failure. The table in the “Indicators” section (page 12) describes the specific tone and LED sequences. • Check if paper is present • Return the knife to the home position Failure causes a fault condition. The table in the “Indicators” section (page 12) describes the specific tone and LED sequences. • Check if receipt cover is closed Failure does not interrupt the start-up cycle. At power up, if the LED blinks twice, every four seconds, the object storage areas are being initialized. This process could take up to two minutes. Once the object storage area initialization is complete the printer will continue with its normal startup procedure and operation. DO NOT RESET THE PRINTER UNTIL THIS PROCESS IS COMPLETE. When the start-up diagnostics are complete, the printer makes a two-tone beep (low then high frequency), the paper feed button is enabled, and the printer is ready for normal operation. If the printer has not been turned on before, or a new EEPROM has been installed, the default values for the printer functions will be loaded into the EEPROM during start-up diagnostics, and the printer will make a quick four-tone beep (high then low frequency, twice) 10 Chapter 1: Diagnostics and Configuration Runtime diagnostics Runtime diagnostics (sometimes called level 2 diagnostics) run during normal printer operation. When the following conditions occur, the printer automatically turns off the appropriate motors and disables printing to prevent damage to the printer: • Paper out • Receipt cover open • Knife unable to home • Printhead too hot • Voltages out of range The LED on the operator panel will signal when these conditions occur as well as indicate what state or mode the printer is in. Remote diagnostics Remote diagnostics (sometimes called level 3 diagnostics) keeps track of the following tallies and prints them on the receipt during the print test. See the sample test printout on the next page. These tallies can be used to determine the printer’s state of health. • Model number • Maximum temperature reached • Serial number • Number of dots printed • CRC number • Number of dots printed on current printhead • Number of lines printed • Number of printhead changes • Number of knife cuts • Number of receipt mechanism changes • Number of hours the printer has been on • Number of knife mechanism changes • Number of flash cycles • Number of thermistor errors • Number of cutter jams • Number of low voltage errors • Number of times the cover is opened • Number of high voltage errors • Number of barcodes printed • Number of firmware starts • Number of receipt characters printed • Number of EEPROM updates • Number of printer faults Chapter 1: Diagnostics and Configuration 11 A798II Diagnostics Form *** A798II - Diagnostics Form *** Model number Serial number Loader Firmware P/N Date Flash Firmware Revision CRC P/N : A798-780X-TD00 : 0000000000 : PN#: 189-799L111 : Nov 10 2015 : V1.46 : 9701 : 189-798A146B H/W parameters Flash Memory Size : Flash Logos/Fonts : Flash User Storage : Flash Perm’nt Fonts : Flash Journal Size : SRAM Size : Head settting : Motor ID : Paper Type Setting : Color Density Adj : Print Density, Mono : Max Speed : Paper Width : Max Power : Knife : Partial Cut : Paper Low Sensor : No Paper Low Extension Comm.

Some applications expect the command to be ignored while others use the command as a print command. • Code 128 Check Digit Enables or disables the calculation of the check digit. • Default font Sets the default for monochrome and LEGACY emulations. • Font size Allows user to set font size for the emulation being used. • Journal Print Enables or disables operator action. Chapter 1: Diagnostics and Configuration 19 Select the hardware options sub-menu to set: • Print density (monochrome papers only) Adjusts printhead energy level to darken printout or adjust for paper variations. When printer prints high-density print lines (text or graphics), it automatically slows down. Factory setting for the A798II is 100%. WARNING: Choose a print density setting no higher than necessary to achieve acceptable print density. Failure to observe this rule may result in a printer service call and may void the printer warranty. Running at a higher energy level will reduce the printhead life. Consult your HP technical support specialist if you have questions. • Power supply level (Max power) You can choose from these power settings to match the power supply: Auto Level I (55W) Level II (75W) Level III (90W) • Partial cut distance Allows the user to set the distance that the knife will cut across a receipt in 5 step increments between 110-160. • Fine partial cut steps Allows the user to set the amount of extra steps the knife will cut across a receipt, between 0 and 4. • Paper low sensor Senses when the paper roll is getting low on paper. • Paper low threshold extension Allows the user to set the amount of footage for the extension in 5 foot increments between -10 and 20 feet. For more information about See this section Setting the printer functions and settings “Configuring the printer” on page 14 Select the firmware features sub-menu to set: • Paper selection lockout • Beep after knife cut • Cash drawer open after knife cut • Energy-savings timeout value Allows the user to enable and set the time-out value to 15, 30, 60, 120, or 240 minutes, or to disable the feature. 20 Chapter 2: Programming the Printer Chapter 2: Programming the Printer Overview of commands Commands control all operations and functions of the printer. This includes selecting the size and placement of characters and graphics on the receipt to feeding and cutting the paper. The programming commands have been organized, in order of hexadecimal code within functional groups. For this reason, “related” commands may not be listed adjacent to one another. The operation of various printers may be emulated by the commands, including the following: • A793/A794 • Native • LEGACY Any of the commands may be used in any combination to program a host computer to communicate with the printer (unless otherwise noted). Some commands listed and described here may not be implemented and are identified as “not implemented.” If received, they are ignored and not sent to the print buffer as data. Any nonlegal commands have their parameter sent to the print buffer as data. Comparison to A793 The following table details the list of commands whose behavior differs between the A793, A794, and A798II because of the physical differences of a 6 dots/mm head (A793) versus an 8 dots/mm head (A794 and A798II). Command Description Difference between previous product and new product emulation mode. 15 n Feed n dot rows This command will move the paper on the receipt in n/203 inch steps instead of n/152 inch steps. 16 n Add n extra dot rows The dot rows will be measured in n/203 inches versus n/152 inches. 1B 20 n Set right-side character spacing This command sets the right side spacing to “n” horizontal motion units. By default, these units are in terms of 1/203 inches versus 1/152 inches. 1B 24 n1 n2 Set absolute starting position For graphics commands, the position is scaled to best match A793. In text mode, the equivalent character position is calculated. 1B 26 s c1 c2 n1 d1...nn dn] Define user-defined character set Since the dots on the A798II printhead are smaller, user defined characters that were used on the previous printers will appear smaller on the A798II printer. 1B 2A m n1 n2 d1...dn Select bit image mode In A793 emulation mode, graphics are scaled to best match the size of the graphic in the A793 printer. 1B 33 n Set line spacing This command uses n in terms of n/360 inches. Since the A793 had a fundamental step of 1/152 inch and the A798II has a fundamental step of 1/203 inch, the actual line spacing will not exactly match the requested spacing. Continued... Chapter 2: Programming the Printer 21 Command Description Difference between previous product and new product emulation mode. 1B 4A n Print and feed paper This command uses n in terms of n/360 inches. Since the A793 had a fundamental step of 1/152 inch and the A798II has a fundamental step of 1/203 inch, the actual line spacing will not exactly match the requested spacing. 1B 59 n1 n2 d1...dn Select double-density graphics In A793 emulation mode, the printer scales the graphics to provide the best match. 1B 5C n1 n2 Set relative print position The parameter to this command is in units of dots. However, the command moves and aligns to character positions. In A793 emulation mode, this command calculates how many character positions to move based on the A793 character width in dots (10) versus the A798II (13). 1B 61 n Select justification This command does true dot resolution alignment for centering versus character-aligned centering. 1D 2A n1 n2 d1...dn] Define downloaded bit image In A793 emulation mode, this command scales the incoming data to provide a best match to the size of the image as it printed on A793. 1D 2F m Print downloaded bit image In A793 emulation mode, this command scales the incoming data to provide a best match to the size of the image as it printed on A793. 22 Chapter 2: Programming the Printer Character appearance The appearance of text can be changed using the following print modes: • Standard • Rotated • Italic • Compressed • Underlined • Strike-through • Double-high • Bold • Scaled • Double-wide • Reverse • Shading • Upside-down Width specifications Standard Compressed • Characters per inch: 15.6 • Characters per inch: 20.3 • Characters per line: 44 • Characters per line: 56 • Cell size: 13 x 24 dots (default font) • Cell size: 10 x 24 dots (default font) 13 x 27 dots (Tall font) 10 x 27 dots (Tall font) 13 x 18 dots (paper-saving font) 10 x 18 dots (paper-saving font) Print zones Print zones for 80mm paper Specifications of print zone for 80mm paper: • 576 dots (addressable) @ 8 dots/mm, centered on 80mm • Top margin to manual tear-off: 17.8mm (0.70 inches) • Standard mode: minimum margins: 2.0mm (.079 inches) • Top margin to knife cut: 19.0mm (0.75 inches) Nominal Margins, 4.25 mm (0.167 in.) Note: The application centers 44 standard character cells (13 X 24 dots), or 56 compressed character cells (10 X 24 dots), or 576 addressable bits of graphics across an 80mm wide receipt. Minimum print line height is 24 dots for text or graphics. Standard print line spacing is 27 dots (i.e., 3 extra row dots). The A798II Series adds a 27 dot high font, so standard print spacing is 30 dots. The A798II Series paper-saving feature adds a 18 dot high font and reduces extra dot rows to 2, so standard print spacing is 20 dots. Chapter 2: Programming the Printer 23 Rotated printing commands Three commands control the rotation of printing. The table shows the combinations of set/cancel upside down print, set/ cancel rotated print (clockwise), and rotated print (counterclockwise). Rotated clockwise and rotated counterclockwise print commands are mutually exclusive: the setting of the last received command is effective. Unintended consequences may result when rotated clockwise is mixed with other commands The samples of the print show only the normal-size characters. Double-wide and double-high characters are printed in the same orientation. They may also be mixed on the same line. Upside down (1B 7B n) Rotated CW (1B 56 n) Rotated CCW (1B 12) Resulting output ABC CanceledCanceledCleared A B C CanceledX SetSetX C B A Set X C B A CanceledSet A B C XXSet Note: The following print modes cannot be mixed on the same line: • Right-side up and upside-down Emulation modes The A798II Series printer may be operated in a number of different emulation modes. However, printing characteristics and defaults may differ, depending on the desired mode. Print setup in emulation modes Refer to the chart below for defaults and allowed printing options in each emulation mode. Emulation mode LPI options Font(s) options Native 6.00, 6.77, 7.52, 8.13 Standard Font size Default LPI Default EDR Comments 13X24 7.52 3 Default setup for monochrome paper 13X27 6.77 3 Tall Paper-saving 13X18 10.15 3 A793/A794 6.00, 7.52, 8.13 emulation Standard 7.52 3 13X24 LEGACY 6.00 Tall 13X27 6.00 7 Default setup for Escape Commands emulation Standard 13X24 6.00 10 The following list clarifies how the A798II printer will behave in each emulation mode: • If only the font is changed, the default LPI will automatically be changed as in the table above. • If emulation is switched to LEGACY, Native, A794 or A793 emulation(s), the paper type will automatically be changed to monochrome paper, and the font and LPI will be changed as in the table above. • If emulation is switched from any emulation to native the font and LPI will remain unchanged because the Native mode supports all font and LPI options offered in the emulation modes. • The “Set Default LPI” option in the configuration menu is not offered in LEGACY emulation made. The LPI is set at 6.00. 24 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Chapter 3: Programming Commands Commands listed by function Printer actions Code (hexadecimal) Command Page 10 Clear printer 30 19 Perform full knife cut (or code 1B 69) 30 1A Perform partial knife cut (or code 1B 6D) 31 1B 07 Generate tone 31 1B 3D n Select peripheral device (for multi-drop) 31 1B 40 Initialize printer 32 1B 63 34 n Select sensors to stop printing 32 1B 63 35 n Enable or disable panel button 32 1B 69 Perform full knife cut (or code 19) 30 1B 6D Perform partial knife cut (or code 1A) 31 1B 70 n p1 p2 Generate pulse to open cash drawer 33 1F 03 3C ll hh Set timeout value for low-power idle state 34 1F 70 Set printer into low-power idle state 34 1D 56 m Select cut mode and cut paper (or code 1D 56 m n)33 1D 56 m n Select cut mode and cut paper (or code 1D 56 m)33 1F 03 4E n1 n2 Port Idle Timeout 34 1F 74 Print test form 34 Print and paper feed Code (hexadecimal) Command Page 0A Print and feed paper one line 35 0D Print and carriage return 35 14nFeed n print lines 35 15 nFeed n dot rows 36 16 nAdd n extra dot rows 36 17Print 37 1B 4A n Print and feed paper 37 1B 64 n Print and feed n lines 37 Chapter 3: Programming Commands 25 Vertical and horizontal positioning Code (hexadecimal) Command Page 09 Horizontal tab 38 1B 14 n Set column 38 1B 24 nL nH Set absolute starting position 39 1B 32 Set vertical line spacing to 1/6 inch 39 1B 33 n Set vertical line spacing 40 1B 44 n1...nk 00 Set horizontal tab positions 40 1B 5C n1 n2 Set relative print position 41 1B 61 n Select justification 42 1D 4C nL nH Set left margin 42 1D 50 x y Set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units 38 1D 57 nL nH Set printing area width 43 Text characteristics Code (hexadecimal) Command Page 12 Select double-wide characters 44 13 Select single-wide characters 44 1B 12 Select 90 degree counter-clockwise rotated print 44 1B 16 n Select pitch (column width) 45 1B 20 n Set right-side character spacing 45 1B 21 n Select print mode 46 1B 25 n Select or cancel user-defined character set 47 1B 26 s c1 c2 Define user-defined character set 47 1B 2D n Select or cancel underline mode 48 1B 3A 30 30 30 Copy character set from ROM to RAM 49 1B 3F n Cancel user-defined character 49 1B 45 n Select or cancel emphasized mode 49 1B 47 n Select or cancel double-strike 50 1B 49 n Select or cancel italic print 50 1B 52 n Select international character code 51 1B 56 n Select or cancel 90 degree clockwise rotated print 52 1B 74 n Select international character set 52 1B 7B n Select or cancel upside-down print mode 53 1D 21 n Select character size 54 1D 42 n Select or cancel white/black reverse print mode 55 1D 62 n Set smoothing 55 1D F0 01 n Select font ID number 59 1D F0 02 n Select font style number 59 26 Chapter 3: Programming Commands 1D F0 03 Save font ID number as default font at power up 59 1D F0 80 Download font 60 1D F0 C0 02 Download font list 57 1F 03 45 FSID Configure use of font set over power cycles 57 1F 03 46 n Configure line spacing 57 1F 05 n Select superscript or subscript modes 56 1F 26 s c1 c2 Define extended user-defined character set 48 1F 69 n Select active user-defined character set 56 1D F0 20 nn Get double-byte font CRC (font ID) 59 1D F0 21 nn mm Get double-byte font CRC (font ID and font style) 59 Graphics Code (hexadecimal) Command Page 11 n1 . . . n72 Print raster graphics 65 1B (+*.BMP file) Download BMP logo 61 1B 2A m n1 n2 d1…dn Select bit image mode 61 1B 2A 62 6d n Turn on/off TIFF compression 61 1B 2E m n rL rH d1 … dn Print advanced raster graphics 62 1B 4B n1 n2 d1 … dn Select single-density graphics 62 1B 59 n1 n2 d1 … dn Select double-density graphics 62 1C 70 n m Print flash logo 66 1C 71 n . . . .

ASCII: The ASCII control code. Hexadecimal: The hexadecimal control code. Decimal: The decimal control code. Value: A description of the command operands. Range: The upper and lower limits of the command operand. Default: The command operand default after printer reset. Description: Brief description and summary of the command. Formulas: Any formulas used for this command. Exceptions: Describes any exceptions to this command; for example, incompatible commands. Related information: Describes related information for this command; for example, bit information. Command descriptions Printer actions The printer function commands control the following basic printer functions and are described in order of their hexadecimal codes: • Resetting the printer • Cutting the paper • Opening the cash drawers Clear printer ASCII DLE Hexadecimal 10 Decimal16 Clears the print line buffer without printing and sets the printer to the following condition: • Double-wide command (0x12) is canceled • Line spacing, pitch, and user-defined character sets are maintained at current selections (RAM is not affected) • Single-wide, single-high, non-rotated, and left-aligned characters are set • Printing position is set to column one Related Information This command followed by a 04 or 05 is interpreted as a “Real Time Command” This command is recognized in A793 emulation and Native mode, ignored in LEGACY emulation. Perform full knife cut ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal EM 19 25 ESC i 1B 69 27 105 Cuts the receipt. There are two codes (Hex 19 or 1B 69) for this command and both perform the same function. Exceptions The full cut is replaced by a partial cut in the A793 emulation. ASCII EM, (0x19) is ignored in LEGACY emulation. Line feed is executed first, if the buffer is not empty. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 31 Perform partial knife cut ASCII SUB Hexadecimal 1A Decimal26 ESC m 1B 6D 27 109 Partially cuts the receipt. The default setting leaves 5mm (0.20 inch) of paper on the left edge. (See setting partial cut distance in diagnostics.) There are two codes (Hex 1A or 1B 6D) for this command and both codes perform the same function. Formulas The cut edge is 144 dot rows or 18 mm (0.71 inch) above the print station. Exceptions The command is valid only at the beginning of a line. ASCII SUB, (0x1A), is ignored in LEGACY emulation. Line feed is executed first, if the buffer is not empty. Generate tone ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC BEL 1B 07 27 7 Generates an audible tone. Performed by the printer to signal certain conditions. Related information This command is ignored in LEGACY emulation. Select peripheral device (for multi-drop) ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC = n 1B 3D n 27 61 n Value of n: 0 (bit 0), device not selected 1 (bit 0), device selected Default: 1 (bit 0), device selected Selects the device to which the host computer sends data. Related information Other bits of n (1–7) are undefined and ignored. When the printer is disabled by this command, it ignores transmitted data until the printer is re-enabled by the same command. 32 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Initialize printer ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC @ 1B 40 27 64 Default: Character pitch: Column width: Extra dot rows: Character set: Printing position: 15.6 CPI 44 characters 3 Code Page 437 Column One Clears the print line buffer and resets the printer to the default settings for the start-up configuration (refer to Default settings above). Data in the receive buffer is not cleared, and printing position moves to the beginning of the line. Single-wide, single-high, non-rotated, and left-aligned characters are set, and user-defined characters or logo graphics are cleared. (Flash memory and macros are not affected.) Tabs reset to default. Receipt selection state is selected. Barcode settings reset. Page mode settings are cleared and printer is set to standard mode. ASB is switched off. Select sensors to stop printing ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC c 4 n 1B 63 34 n 27 99 52 n Value of n: Sensor status Sensor Status BitSensor 0 1 0 Receipt paper near-end Disabled Enabled 1 Receipt paper near-end Disabled Enabled 2–4Undefined 6Undefined Bits 5 and 7 are not used. Default:0 Determines which sensor stops printing on the respective station. The command does not affect the paper out status on the receipt station, which will automatically stop the printer when the paper is depleted. Enable or disable panel button ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC c 5 n 1B 63 35 n 27 99 53 n Value of n: 0 = Enable 1 = Disable Default: 0 (Enable) Enables or disables the paper feed button. If the last bit is 0, the paper feed button is enabled. If the last bit is 1, the paper feed button is disabled. Exceptions Functions that require the paper feed button (except for the execute macro [1D 5E] command) cannot be used when it has been disabled with this command. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 33 Generate pulse to open cash drawer ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC p n p1 p2 1B 70 n p1 p2 27 112 n p1 p2 Value of n: 00, 48 (Decimal) = Drawer 1; 01, 49 (Decimal) = Drawer 2 Value of p1:0–255 Value of p2:0–255 Sends a pulse to open the cash drawer. Formulas The value for either p1 or p2 is the hexadecimal number multiplied by 2 msec to equal the total time. • On-time = p1 (Hex) x 2 msec • Off-time = p2 (Hex) x 2 msec Related information Off-time is the delay before the printer performs the next operation. Refer to cash drawer specifications for required on and off-time. If p2 < p1, the off-time is equal to the on-time. Select cut mode and cut paper ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS V m 1D 56 m 29 86 m Value of m: Selects the mode as shown in the table. Value of n: Determines cutting position only if m is 65 or 66. m GS V m n 1D 56 m n 29 86 m n Feed and cut mode 0, 48 Full cut (no extra feed) 1, 49 Partial cut (no extra feed) 65 Feeds paper to cutting position + (n times vertical motion unit), and cuts the paper completely 66 Feeds paper to cutting position + (n times vertical motion unit), and performs a partial cut Range of m: 0, 48; 1, 49 65, 66 (when used with n) Range of n: 0 – 255 Default of m, n:0 Selects a mode for cutting paper and cuts the paper. There are two formats for this command, one requiring one parameter m, the other requiring two parameters m and n. The format is indicated by the parameter m. Formulas n times the vertical motion unit is used to determine the cutting position to which the paper is fed. Set n to 0 to cut below the last printed line. 34 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Set timeout value for low-power idle state ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal US ETX ‘ ll hh 1F 03 3C ll hh 31 03 60 ll hh Value of ll: Value of hh: low byte of time in seconds high byte of time in seconds This command sets the timeout value in seconds. If the printer has not received data for that amount of seconds, it will shutdown to the low-power (1 watt) state. A value of ll hh = 00 00 disables this feature. To bring the printer out of the lowpower idle state, press the paper feed button. Note: shutdown mode (1F 03 54 00 n) must be enabled for this to work. Set printer into low-power idle state ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal US p 1F 70 31 112 This command puts the printer in the low-power (1 watt) state immediately. To bring the printer out of the low-power idle state, press the paper feed button. Note: shutdown mode (1F 03 54 00 n) must be enabled for this to work.

The commands describe operation for 80mm paper. Horizontal tab ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal HT 09 9 Moves the print position to the next tab position set by the set horizontal tab positions (1B 44 n1 n2 ... 00) command. The print position is reset to column one after each line. Tab treats the left margin as column one, therefore changes to the left margin will move the tab positions. When no tabs are defined to the right of the current position, or if the next tab is past the right margin, line feed is executed. HT has no effect in page mode. If underline is set, tab spaces skipped by this command are not underlined.

The values for nL and nH are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation. Sets the print starting position to the specified number of dots (up to the right margin) from the beginning of the line. The print starting position is reset to the first column after each line. Formulas The example shows how to calculate 280 dots as the absolute starting position. 28 x 10 = 280/256 = nL = 24 nH = 280 dots (beginning of column 29) 1, remainder of 24 1 Related information If the set horizontal and vertical motion units command (1D 50) is used to change the horizontal and vertical minimum motion unit, the parameters of the set relative print position command will be interpreted accordingly. For more information, see the description of the command set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command (1D 50) in this document. Compatibility information (A798II receipt vs. A793 receipt) There is a difference in the normal behavior of this command in A793 emulation mode as compared to the original A793. The difference exists when the command is used to move to the left. The A793 processes the whole print string prior to putting it in the buffer for the print head. This method of processing allows the A793 to backup in the print string and replace characters and their associated attributes when a “Set relative print position” command instructs the printer to move the print position to the left. In order to improve the speed of printing, the A798II moves the data into a buffer for the printhead when it receives it. When the “Set relative print position” command contains a move to the left, this causes the new data to overstrike the previous data. This behavior can be used to an application’s advantage to provide the ability to create compound characters on the receipt station. This command also functions differently in the A793 emulation when used in graphics: n x 2 = Number of dots to be moved from the beginning of the line when this command is followed by a graphics command. Set vertical line spacing to 1/6 inch ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC 2 1B 32 27 50 Default: 3.33 mm (0.13 inch) Sets the default line spacing to 4.25 mm (1/6 of an inch).

Note: sending 1B 32 will overwrite this setting. The minimum line spacing is 8.5 lines per inch. The line spacing equals the character height when n is too small. If the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command (1D 50) is used to change the horizontal and vertical minimum motion unit, the parameters of this command (set line spacing) will be interpreted accordingly. Related information For more information, see the description of the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command in this document. In addition, see “Configure line spacing” (1F 03 46 n). Set horizontal tab positions ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC D n1…nk NUL 1B 44 n1…nk 00 27 68 n1…nk 0 Value of n: 1 - number of columns in selected pitch (typically 44 for standard, 56 for compressed, but this is affected by paper width, fonts and margins) Value of k: 0 - 32 (decimal) Default: n = 8, 16, 24, 32, ... (Every eight characters for the default font set) Sets a horizontal tab to n columns from the beginning of the line, where k indicates the number of horizontal tab positions to be set. The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n], measured from the beginning of the line. The character width should be set before using this command. The setting of the horizontal tab positions will not be changed if the character width is changed after sending this command. A maximum of 32 horizontal tab positions can be set. Data exceeding 32 horizontal tab positions are processed as normal data. This command cancels any previous horizontal tab settings. n1-nk should be listed in ascending order, followed by a 00. 1b 44 00 changes all horizontal tab positions back to their default positions. Horizontal tab position settings are effective until the printer is reset, the power is turned off, or a 1b 40 command is sent. Print position advances to the next tab position on receipt by a 09h. The horizontal tab position is affected by changes to the left margin.

To move the relative starting position left of the current position: n = Number of dots to be moved left of the current position n1 = Remainder after dividing (65,536-n) by 256 n2 = Integer after dividing (65,536-n) by 256 The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation. Moves the print starting position the specified number of dots either right (up to the right margin) or left (up to the left margin) of the current position. The print starting position is reset to the first column after each line. Formulas To move to the left: Determine the value of n by multiplying the number of columns to move left of the current position by 10 (standard) or 8 (compressed) pitch. The example shows how to set the relative position two columns in standard pitch (10 dots per column) to the left of the current position. 2 x 10 = 20 dots (two columns to be moved left of the current position) 65,536–20 = 65516 65,516/256 = 255, remainder of 236 n1 = 236, n2 = 255 To move to the right: Determine the value of n by multiplying the number of columns to move right of the current position by 10 (standard) or 8 (compressed) pitch.

The left margin is set to ((nH X 256) + nL) times horizontal motion unit) inches. The horizontal motion units are set by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command (1D 50), described in this manual. If the horizontal motion unit is changed after changing left margin, the left margin setting is not changed. The width of the printing area is set by the set printing area width command (1D 57), which follows this command. See the set printing area width command in this document for a description of that command. If the setting exceeds the printable area, the maximum value of the printable area is used. The maximum printable area is 576 dots. See the illustration. To set the left margin to one inch at the default horizontal motion unit of 1/203 inches, send the four-byte string: GS L 203 0 Or, to set the left margin to two inches at the default horizontal motion unit of 1/203 units per inch, send the four-byte string: GS L 150 1 Where 2 inches = 406/203, and 406 = (1 X 256) + 150.

If the left margin and printing area set the width to less than the width of a single character, the width is extended ot accommodate the character for the line. The width of the printing area is set to ((nH X 256) + nL) times horizontal motion unit) inches. The horizontal motion units are set by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units command (1D 50). If the horizontal motion unit is changed after changing printing area width, the printing area width setting is not changed. The width of the printing area follows the set left margin command (1D 4C). See the set left margin command (10 4C …) earlier in this document for a description. Formulas To set the width of the printing area to one inch at the default horizontal motion unit of 1/203 inches, send the four-byte string: GS W 203 0 Or, to set the width of the printing area to two inches at the default horizontal motion unit of 1/203 units per inch, send the four-byte string: GS W 150 1 Where 2 inches = 406/203, and 406 = (1 X 256) + 150.

Set right-side character spacing ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC SP n 1B 20 n 27 32 n Range of n: 0 – 32 (decimal) Default: 0 The units of horizontal and vertical motion are specified by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D 50 …) command. Changes in the horizontal or vertical units do not affect the current right side character spacing. When the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D 50 …) command the value must be in even units and not less than the minimum amount of horizontal movement. In standard mode the horizontal motion unit is used. In page mode the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs and depends on the starting position of the printable area. When the starting printing position is the upper left or lower right of the printable area (set by select print direction in page mode, 1B 54 n) the horizontal motion unit (x) is used. When the starting printing position is the upper right or lower left of the printable area (set by select print direction in page mode, 1B 54 n) the vertical motion unit (y) is used. This command can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode. When characters are enlarged, the right-side character spacing is a multiple of its normal value (ex. spacing for doublewidth mode is twice the normal value).

Select or cancel upside-down print mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC { n 1B 7B n 27 123 n Value of n: 0 = Cancel 1 = Set Default: 0 (Cancel) Prints upside-down characters until the printer is initialized, reset, or powered off. The command may be combined with clockwise rotated print (1B 56) or counter-clockwise rotated print (1B 12). The character order is inverted in the buffer so text is readable. Only bit 0 is used. Bits 1-7 are not used. See summary of rotated printing in this document for more information. Exceptions The command is valid only at the beginning of a line. It cannot be used with right side up characters on the same line. 54 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Select character size ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS ! n 1D 21 n 29 33 n Value of n: 1–8 = vertical number of times active font 1–8 = horizontal number of times active font Range of n: 00–07, 10–17, ...70–77 Default of n: 11 hexadecimal Selects the character height using bits 0 to 2 and selects the character width using bits 4 to 6, as follows: With smoothing enabled, maximum value of 0 + n is 66. Character width selection Character height selection Hex DecimalWidth Hex DecimalHeight 00 0 1 (normal) 00 0 1 (normal) 10 16 2 (two times width) 01 1 2 (two times height) 20 32 3 (three times width) 02 2 3 (three times height 30 48 4 (four times width) 03 3 4 (four times height) 40 64 5 (five times width) 04 4 5 (five times height) 50 80 6 (six times width) 05 5 6 (six times height) 60 96 7 (seven times width) 06 6 7 (seven times height) 70 112 8 (eight times width) 07 7 8 (eight times height) This command is effective for all characters (except for HRI characters) and is effecitve until the printer is initialized, reset, or powered off. 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 degree clockwise-rotation mode, 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. When characters are englarged widthwise, the characters are enlarged to the right, starting from the left side of the character. The select print mode (1B 21 n) command can also select or cancel double-width and double-height modes. However, the setting of the last received command is effective. Exceptions If n is out of the defined range, this command is ignored. In native mode, the vertical direction is limited to 7 (seven times height) when Tall font is selected. If 8 (eight times height) is selected, the results are unspecified. Related information In A793 emulation, this command is discarded and not put into print buffer. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 55 Select or cancel white/black reverse print mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS B n 1D 42 n 29 66 n Value of n: 0 = Off 1 = On (When 0 and 1 are the least significant bit, LSB) Range of n: 0–255 Default: 0 (Off ) Turns on white/black reverse print mode. In white/black reverse print mode, print dots and non-print dots are reversed, which means that white characters are printed on a black background. When the white/black reverse print mode is selected it is also applied to character spacing which is set by right-side character spacing (1B 20). This command can be used with built-in characters and user-defined characters, but does not affect the space between lines. White/black reverse print mode does not affect bit image, downloaded bit image, bar code, HRI characters, and spacing skipped by horizontal tab (09), set absolute starting position (1B 24 …), and set relative print position (1B 5C). White/black reverse print mode has a higher priority than underline mode. When underline mode is on and white/black reverse print mode is selected, underline mode is disabled, but not canceled. Bar codes, logos, and bit images are not affected by this command. Exceptions Only the lowest bit of n is valid. Related information In A793 emulation, the command is unrecognized and the parameter byte is put into the print buffer. Set smoothing ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS b n 1D 62 n 29 98 n Value of n: 0 = smoothing off 1 = smoothing on Default: 0 (Off ) Turns smoothing mode on or off for the quadruple or larger sizes of characters. 56 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Select superscript or subscript modes ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal US ENQ n 1F 05 n 31 05 n Value of n: 0 = Normal character size 1 = Select subscript size 2 = Select superscript size Default: 0 (normal size) Turns superscript or subscript modes on or off.

The Thai font (Code Page 874) is already available as a resident code page. The commands needed for downloading the fonts are described below in the order of use. Before downloading Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Kanji, or Korean , the expanded flash memory allocation must be set up to expand the size of the permanent font space. For Simplified Chinese, 2.2 Meg of space is required. Traditional Chinese requires 1.3 Meg. Kanji requires 1 Meg, and Korean requires of 1 Meg of space in the permanent font area. If the A798II is set to Unicode, the Vietnamese character set is available. Lock permanent font flash area ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0xF0 0x10 n 1D F0 10 n 29 240 16 n Value of n: n = 0x00 n = 0x01 lock permanent font flash (default) unlock permanent font flash to erase or delete This command allows or prevents the permanent font area to be erased. Note: This only affects the 1D 40 33 commands and downloading a font to permanent font area when a font already exists with the same ID. Erase user flash sector ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS @ n 1D 40 n 29 64 n Value of n: 51 n = 49 (ASCII n = 1) HEX 31 This command erases all 64K Flash Memory sectors allocated to user-defined character and logos storage in Flash. Those sectors should be erased only in one situation: when the logo definition area is full and an application is attempting to define new logos. In both cases, all logos and character set definitions are erased and must be redefined. n = 50 (ASCII n = 2) HEX 32 This command erases all sectors available for user data storage. n = 51 (ASCII n = 3) HEX 33 This command erases all sectors available for permanent fonts. The area must be unlocked first using the 1D F0 10 01 command above. Erases a page of flash memory and sends a carriage return when the operation is complete, or a NAK if erase fails. Related information See command “Flash memory user sectors allocation” (1D 22 55 n1 n2). See also command “Expanded flash memory allocation” (1D 22 80...) and “Select flash area” (1D 22 81 n). Important: While erasing flash memory, the printer disables all interrupts, including communications. To provide feedback to the application, the printer responds to the application when the erase is complete with a 0D (Hex). After sending the erase user flash sector (1D 40 n) command, an application should wait for the response from the printer before sending data. Otherwise, data will be lost. If an application is unable to receive data, it should wait a minimum of ten seconds after sending the erase user flash sector (1D 40 n) command before sending data. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 59 Select font ID number ASCII GS 0xF0 0x01 n Hexadecimal 1D F0 01 n Decimal 29 240 1 n Value of n: 128 - 255 Select font ID number for downloaded font. This command is sent before downloading the map file for a specific font. Each font ID has one map file to download. This command is also sent to select a downloaded font at run time. Font ID Font C3 (hex) Traditional Chinese D3 (hex) Simplified Chinese CB (hex) Kanji CE (hex) Korean Select font style number ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0xF0 0x02 n 1D F0 02 n 29 240 2 n Value of n: 0 - 255 Select font style number for downloaded font. After selecting font style number, set the horizontal and vertical character spacing for the characters. This command is sent before downloading the map file for a specific font. Each font ID can have multiple styles. For example, two different styles could be 16 x 16 Gothic and 24 x 24 Gothic, or three different styles could be 16 x 16 Gothic, 16 x 16 Ariel, and 16 x 16 Courier. Each style number within a font has one character definition file. This command is also sent to select a downloaded font style at run time. Save font ID number as default font at power up ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0xF0 0x03 1D F0 03 29 240 3 Save current font ID number as default font at power up. All characters will be printed from the downloaded font. Get double-byte font CRC (font ID) ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0xF0 0x20 nn 1D F0 20 nn 29 240 32 nn This command queries the double-byte font CRC where nn is the fontset ID. The printer transmits ACK (0x06) followed by the two-byte CRC; otherwise, returns a NAK (0x15) followed by two bytes of zero (0x00). Get double-byte font CRC (font ID and font style) ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0xF0 0x20 nn mm 1D F0 21 nn mm 29 240 33 nn mm This command quires the double-byte font CRC where nn is the font ID and mm is the font style. The printer transmits ACK (0x06) followed by the two-byte CRC; otherwise, returns a NAK (0x15) followed by two bytes of zero (0x00). 60 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Download font ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0xF0 0x80 followed by file 1D F0 80 29 240 128 This command is the sequence introducer for downloading existing files. The downloaded font is always stored in the permanent font area of flash. If there is not enough memory in the permanent font area to store the file the printer returns NACK. When the file is downloaded the printer returns ACK. If the file contents are incorrect the printer returns NACK. File format to be described in appendix. So the full sequence for downloading files as font ID CB would be: 1D F0 01 CB 1D F0 80 1D F0 02 01 1B 20 n 1B 33 n 1D F0 80 1D F0 02 02 1B 20 n 1B 33 n 1D F0 80 followed by map file shftjis.chr for horizontal character spacing for vertical character spacing followed by character definition file shftj16.chr for horizontal character spacing for vertical character spacing followed by character definition file shftj24.chr Graphics These commands are used to enter and print graphics data and are described in order of their hexadecimal codes, unless otherwise noted. These commands describe operation for 80mm paper. Download BMP logo ASCII: ESC (+*.BMP file) Hexadecimal: 1B (+*.BMP file) Decimal: 27 66 77(+*.BMP file) Value: Maximum width = 576 Maximum height =512 Enters a downloaded BMP logo into RAM or flash. The downloaded BMP logo can be printed by using the print downloaded bit image (1D 2F m) command. To downloaded BMP file to save it as a logo, send the hexadecimal code 1B followed by the whole BMP file. The printer decodes the BMP file header and will save the image data after checking important parameters, such as: - Width - Height - Number of colors (only monochrome images are accepted) BMPs and bit images continue to be definable only for the receipt station. However, there is no longer an automatic erasure whenever the user downloads a character set (as happened previously) as well as in the case where the current logo was never set > 0, (the automatic erasure if user flash memory had filled up with inactive logo 0 definitions upon next power cycle). Warnings about the effect of running out of defined logo space during a download apply (i.e. the command is ignored). The application is required to manage user data space, downloaded font space, and logo space. After downloading a logo to the printer, wait 100ms to allow the printer time to write the logo to flash. Exceptions BMP file images that are not monochrome are put into the print buffer. Related information Microsoft BMP bitmap file format. This command is recognized in Native mode. In A793 and LEGACY emulations, the BMP file bytes are put into the print buffer.

Excess data is accepted but ignored. Any print command is required to print the data, after which the printer returns to normal processing mode. The bit image is not affected by emphasize, double-strike, underline, character size, reverse printing, or 90 rotation, but is affected by upside-down printing mode. In page mode, a starting position of upper right or lower left results in rotated bit-image data printing. See the illustration for graphic representations of the bit image below.

Any print command is required to print the line, after which the printer returns to normal processing mode. Double-density mode allows 0–576 dot columns. The number of bytes sent is represented by the formulas in the table. Each bit corresponds to one horizontal dot. Compare to set bit image mode (1B 2A, m=1) earlier in this document. Related information In LEGACY emulation, this command is unrecognized and the parameters are put into the print buffer. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 63 Select the current logo ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS # n 1D 23 n 29 35 n Range of n: 0 – 255 Default: 0 Selects a monochrome logo to be defined or printed. The active logo n remains in use until this command is sent again with a different logo n. When this command precedes a logo definition, that definition is stored in flash or RAM memory as logo n. If there is already a different definition in flash memory for logo n, the first is inactivated and the new definition is used. The inactive definition is not erased from flash and continues to take up space in flash memory. When this command precedes a logo print command and n is different from the previously active logo selected, the printer retrieves the logo definition for n from flash or RAM memory and prints it. If there is no definition for logo n, then no logo is printed. In the case of a previously existing application that expects only one possible logo, the printer will not receive the select current logo (1D 23 n) command. In this case, the printer assigns 0 as the active logo identifier. It automatically stores any new logo definition in flash memory as logo 0, inactivating any previous logo 0 definition. If the flash memory space available for logos fills up with inactive logo 0 definitions, the firmware erases the old definitions at the next power cycle. This is the only case in which the printer erases flash memory without an application command. In the case of a new application using multiple logos, the select current logo (1D 23 n) command is used. After that, the printer no longer automatically erases the logo definition flash memory page when it fills with multiple definitions. A new application using multiple logos, writing a user-defined character set into flash memory, or both, is responsible for erasing the logo and user-defined character set flash memory page when the logo area is full or before a new character set is defined. Related information This command is recognized in Native mode. In A793 and LEGACY emulations, the parameters are put into the print buffer. 64 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Define downloaded bit image ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS * n1 n2 d1 ... dn] 1D 2A n1 n2 d1 ... dn] 29 42 n1 n2 d1 ... dn] Value of n: Value of n1 Value of n2 1–72 (8 x n1 = number of 1–64 (number of vertical bytes) horizontal dot columns) Value of d Bytes of data (printed down, then across) bit gets printed to 1 and not printed to 0 The number of bytes sent is represented by the following formula: n = 8 x n1 x n2 (n1 x n2 must be less than or equal to 4608). 1 Enters a downloaded bit image (such as a logo) into RAM or flash with the number of dots specified by n1 and n2. If in RAM, the downloaded bit image is available until power is turned off or reset, another bit image is defined, or initialize printer (1B 40) command is received. This bit image will be saved as a monochrome logo indexed by current value that was last set by the select current logo command or 0 is a select current logo command had not yet been given. The dowloaded bit image can be printed using the 1D 2F command. See the illustration below for a graphic representation of the downloaded bit image. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 65 Print downloaded bit image ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS / m 1D 2F m 29 47 m Value and range of m: This command is used to print a previously stored monochrome logo (defined by 1D 2A) from printer memory on the receipt station. The logo is identified as the one indicated by the most recent select current logo command or 0 if a select current logo command has not yet been given. Parameter m is interpreted as follows: Value of m Print mode Vertical DPI Horizontal DPI 0 Normal203 203 1 Double wide 203 101 2 Double high 101 203 3 Double wide/ Double high 101 101 The indexed downloaded bit image from RAM or flash will be printed on the receipt station at a size specified by m. If doubling or quadrupling exceeds the print paper width maximums the left side of the image is printed and the bits to the right of the maximum column are discarded. If the available width is greater than the bit image, its printing will adhere to any currently set right, left, or center justification. This command is ignored if the index refers to an undefined logo/ bit image. Print raster graphics This command is used to enter and print graphics data. This command describes operation for 80 mm paper. ASCII DC1 n1 . . . n1 Hexadecimal 11 n1 . . . n72 Decimal 17 n1 . . . n1r Value and range of n: n1 to n72 /n80 corresponds to one dot row data for a thermal receipt printer. Each bit defines whether or not a dot will be printed. This command is used for printing a monochrome graphic in real-time. Offsets, page and any other modes or overlays, including watermark do not apply and are overridden by this command. A complete rendering of the intended final image should have been done by the application before sending the dot rows. 66 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Print Flash Logo ASCII FS p n m Hexadecimal 1C 70 n m Decimal 28 112 n m Print flash logo ID n using mode m.

During execution of this command printer turns off USM and Real Time status processing. The printer goes busy when writing to flash. At the end of this command the printer resets. Logo print with knife cut ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0x9B m n 1D 9B m n 29 155 m n Values of m: 0 = Standard size 1 = Double wide 2 = Double high 3 = Double high/wide Value of n: 01 - FF (Hex) # dot rows = n x 24 n = 5 is the recommended setting Because the printhead and cutting knife are physically separated, it is necessary to advance the printed area of a receipt past the knife to avoid the last of the printing from being cut off. This advance of paper however, causes a blank space at the start of the next receipt that could be used. To utilize this space and reduce paper usage, this command starts to print a logo for the next receipt before initiating the cut at the end of the current receipt. At a set location during the printing of the logo, the corresponding paper advance is stopped and a paper cut performed. The formula “n x 24” is used to determine the number of dot rows to move the paper from the start of the logo to the position of the cut. If n x 24 is greater than the height of the logo, the logo height is used to determine the cut position. If n = 0 the cut is eliminated. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 67 In order for this command to function properly, all commands used by legacy applications to move the end of the current receipt past the knife should be removed. The command is available only in Native mode. Related information See “Print downloaded bit image” command.

When the 6-dot/mm emulation is selected, logos and graphics are expanded horizontally and vertically during download to emulate their size on a 6-dot/mm printer. The horizontal positioning commands also emulate positioning on a 6-dot/mm printer. Enable constant speed logos ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal US { n 1F 7B n 31 123 n Value: 0 = disable 1 = enable This command allows the firmware to determine the optimal speed to print a logo. It is set prior to downloading the logo and reset after the logo has been downloaded. In general, “Set max target speed (1D A0 nl nh)” is the preferred command. 68 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Status Status command introduction The A798II has three methods of providing status to the application. These methods are through batch status commands, real time status commands and unsolicited status mode. An application may use one or more of these methods to understand the current status of the printer. A brief description of each of these methods follows. Batch status commands – These commands are sent to the printer and stored in the printer’s buffer. Once the printer has processed all the previous commands these commands are processed and the proper status is returned to the application. In the event a condition causes the printer to go BUSY, it stops processing commands from the printer buffer. If a batch status command remained in the buffer during this busy condition, it would not be processed. In fact, no batch commands are processed while the printer is in this state. Real-time commands – These commands are sent to the printer buffer. Periodically, when the printer has time, it scans the input buffer looking for these commands. When found by the printer, these commands are processed immediately. This gives the application the ability to query the printer when it is in a busy state in order to correct whatever fault has occurred. Automatic status back or Unsolicited status mode– This mechanism allows the application developer to program the printer to automatically respond with a four byte status when certain conditions in the printer change. Please see the subsequent sections for a more detailed description of these status commands. At the end of this status commands section is a page entitled “Recognizing data from the printer”. This describes how to interpret what command or setting (in the case of unsolicited status mode) triggered a response from the printer. Batch mode For RS-232C printers, these commands enable the printer to communicate with the host computer following the selected handshaking protocol, either DTR/DSR or XON/XOFF. They are stored in the printer’s data buffer as they are received, and are handled by the firmware in the order in which they are received. When a fault occurs, the printer will go busy at the RS-232C interface and not respond to any of the batch mode printer status commands. If the fault causing the busy condition can be cleared, such as by loading paper, or letting the thermal printhead cool down, the printer will resume processing the data in its receive buffer. Transmit peripheral device status (RS-232C printers only) ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC u 0 1B 75 0 27 117 0 Value of returned byte: Bit 0 Bit 1 1 = Drawer 1 Closed 1 = Drawer 2 Closed 0 = Drawer 1 Open 0 = Drawer 2 Open Bits 2–7 are not used. Transmits current status of the cash drawers. One byte is sent to the host computer. In DTR/DSR protocol, the printer waits for DSR = SPACE. If a drawer is not connected, the status will indicate it is closed. Exceptions Unlike the A793, that had a dedicated connector and resultant dedicated status reporting for each cash drawer, the A798II has a single connector that shares data reporting from either cash drawer. When either cash drawer is open, an open status is reported by the printer. Related information In LEGACY emulation, this command is ignored.

This command is a batch mode command; that is, the response is transmitted after all prior data in the receive buffer has been processed. There may be a time lag between the printer receiving this command and transmitting the response, depending on the receive buffer status. Chapter 3: Programming Commands Transmit printer ID, remote diagnostics extension ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS I @ n 1D 49 40 n 29 73 64 n Values of n: Refer to table Range of n: 32–255 (not all defined, but reserved) Twenty-five remote diagnostic items are defined in the following table: five printer ID items and twenty printer tally items. A group of four remote diagnostic functions is assigned to each diagnostic item. Most of the diagnostic items are maintained in non-volatile memory (NVRAM), but some are maintained in read-only memory (ROM). The first item group in the table includes an example of data to send and to receive. Data sent from the host to write to NVRAM must contain all digits required by the remote diagnostic item. All data must be ASCII. The printer returns all ASCII data. It is preceded by the parameter n to identify the diagnostic item and is followed by a carriage return (0D) to signify the end of the data. Each returned message is defined as: n + data + <CR> The command performs the remote diagnostic function specified by n as described in the following table.

Programming Commands Transmit status ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS r n 1D 72 n 29 114 n Value of n: 1, 49 = printer status 2, 50 = cash drawer status 4, 52 = Flash memory user sector status Transmits the status specified by n. This is a batch mode command which transmits the response after all prior data in the receive buffer has been processed. There may be a time lag between the printer receiving this command and transmitting the response, depending on the receive buffer status. When DTR/DSR RS-232C communications handshaking control is selected, the printer transmits the one byte response only when the host signal DSR indicates it is ready to receive data. When XON/XOFF RS232C communications handshaking control is selected, the printer transmits the one byte response regardless of the host signal DSR. The status bytes to be transmitted are described in the three tables below and on the next page. Exceptions Unlike the A793, that had a dedicated connector and resultant dedicated status reporting for each cash drawer, the A798II has a single connector that shares data reporting from either cash drawer. When either cash drawer is open, an open status is reported by the printer. Printer status (n = 1 or n = 49) Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Status for transmit status 0 Off On 00 01 0 1 Paper present.

Exceptions When n is out of the specified range, the command is ignored. Send printer software version ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal US V 1F 56 31 86 The printer returns 8 bytes containing the loader and flash software version. The first 4 bytes returned are an ASCII string for the loader version. The second 4 bytes are an ASCII string for the flash version. Example: For 1.234.56 (8 bytes), the loader version is 1.23 and the flash version is 4.56. Real time commands The real time commands provide an application interface to the printer even when the printer is not handling other commands (RS-232C communication interface only): • Real time status transmission: GS (Hex 1D) sequence and DLE (Hex 10) sequence • Real time request to printer: GS (Hex 1D) sequence and DLE (Hex 10) sequence • Real time printer status transmission The batch mode printer status commands are placed in the printer’s data buffer as they are received and handled by the firmware in the order in which they were received. If the paper exhausts while printing data that was in the buffer ahead of the status command, the printer goes busy at the RS-232C interface and suspends processing the data in the buffer until paper is reloaded. This is true for all error conditions: knife home error, thermal printhead overheat, etc. In addition, there is no way to restart the printer after a paper jam or other error, when using batch mode status commands. The real time commands are implemented in two ways in order to overcome the limitations of batch mode status commands. Both implementations offer the same functionality; which one you choose depends on the current usage of your application. 76 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Preferred implementation For a new application the GS (1D) sequences are recommended to avoid possible misinterpretation of a DLE (0x10) sequence as a clear printer (0x10 0, ASCII DLE NUL) command. An application using these GS (1D) sequences, does not need to distinguish for the printer between the new real time commands and the clear printer command. This implementation is ideal for an existing application that already uses the clear printer command or for a new application being developed. Alternate implementation The alternate implementation uses the DLE (0x10) sequences as implemented on other printers. An application using these DLE (0x10) sequences and the original clear printer command (0x10) must distinguish for the printer between the new real time commands and the clear printer command by adding a NUL (0x00) to the clear printer command. An application using these DLE (0x10) sequences must also send the second byte of the sequence within 100 milliseconds of the first, to prevent the first byte being mistaken for a clear printer command. Rules for using real time commands Three situations must be understood when using real time commands. First, the printer executes the real time command within a few msec of detecting it in the input buffer and will transmit status regardless of the condition of the DSR signal. Second, the printer transmits status whenever it recognizes a real time status transmission command sequence, even if that sequence happens to occur naturally within the data of another command, such as graphics data. In this case the sequence will also be handled correctly as the graphics data it is intended to be when the graphics command is executed from the buffer. Third, care must be taken not to insert a real time command into the data sequence of another command that consists of two or more bytes. In this case the printer will use the real time command sequence bytes instead of the other command’s parameter bytes when finally executing that other command from the buffer; the other command will NOT be executed correctly. These three situations generally preclude use of standard DOS drivers for the serial communication ports when using real time commands. Moving data through the buffer Applications should not let the buffer fill up with real time commands when the printer is busy at the RS-232C interface. A busy condition at the RS-232C interface can be determined by bit 3 of the response to 1D 05, or 1D 04 1, or 10 04 1. The reason for a particular busy condition can be determined by other responses to 1D 04 n or 10 04 n. Although the printer responds to real time commands when it is busy, it will place them into the buffer behind any other data there, and flush them out in the order in which they were received. When the printer is busy due simply to buffer full (that is, it can’t print data as fast as it can receive it), then data continues to be processed out of the buffer at approximately print speed and the real time commands will eventually get flushed out. When the printer is busy due to an error condition, then data stops being processed to the buffer until the condition clears one way or another. In either case, but more quickly in the case of an error condition, the buffer can fill with real time commands. When the DLE (0x10) sequences are being used, the last byte stored when the buffer fills up could be the DLE (0x10) code, with no room for the subsequent EOT or ENQ. When this lone DLE (0x10) byte is finally processed out of the buffer it will be interpreted as a clear printer command. Similarly, when the GS (1D) sequences are being used, the last byte stored when the buffer fills up could be the GS (1D) code, with no room for the subsequent EOT or ETX or ENQ. When this lone GS (1D) byte is finally processed out of the buffer it will use the next byte, whatever it is, as the second byte in its GS (1D) sequence. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 77 To guard against this situation, the application must determine the cause of a busy condition and take appropriate action or pace the real time commands to avoid filling the buffer. There is a minimum of 256 bytes available in the printer’s buffer when it goes busy. Busy line and fault conditions If the printer is in error condition (cover is open, paper is exhausted…), the printer will still accept data, respond to the batch mode status commands (1B 76 and 1B 75 0), handle the cash drawer commands, and not go busy until it actually tries to execute a print command. Then it will stay busy and stop processing data out of the receive buffer until the condition clears. It will respond to the real time commands as described below. Real time status transmission GS sequence DLE sequence ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS EOT n 1D 04 n 29 4 n DLE EOT n 10 04 n 16 4 n Value of n: GS/DLE sequence 1 = Transmit printer status 2 = Transmit RS-232C busy status 3 = Transmit error status 4 = Transmit receipt paper status Transmits the selected one byte printer status specified by n in real time according to the following parameters. This command includes two sequences: GS (1D) and DLE (0x10). This command can be disabled using 1F 7A. Exceptions The command is ignored if n is out of range. An application using DLE (0x10) sequence must send EOT within 100 milliseconds of DLE or the printer will misinterpret the DLE and execute a clear printer command. Avoid this possibility by using the ID 04 n sequence, which is handled exactly the same as 10 04 n. Unlike the A793, that had a dedicated connector and resultant dedicated status reporting for each cash drawer, the A798II has a single connector that shares data reporting from either cash drawer. When either cash drawer is open, an open status is reported by the printer.

If in page mode, the printer is set back to standard mode, causing values set by 1B 57 to be changed back to default. The operations performed depend on the value of n, according to the following parameters. n=1 Restarts printing from the beginning of the line where an error occurred, after recovering from the error. Print settings that are normally preserved from line to line, such as character height and width, are still preserved with this command. This sequence is ignored except when the printer is busy due to an error condition. This command will attempt recovery from a knife error. Other errors associated with the receipt, such as paper out or printhead overheating, can be recovered from only by clearing the specific condition, such as loading paper or letting the printhead cool down. n=2 Recovers from an error after clearing the receive and print buffers. Print settings that are normally preserved from line to line, such as character height and width, are still preserved with this command. This sequence is ignored except when the printer is busy due to an error condition. The same error recovery possibilities exist as for n = 1. Exceptions The command is ignored if n is out of range. An application using DLE (0x10) sequence must send ENQ within 100 milliseconds of DLE or the printer will misinterpret the DLE and execute a clear printer command. Avoid this possibility by using the ID 03 n sequence, that is handled exactly the same as 10 05 n. 80 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Real time printer status transmission ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS ENQ 1D 05 29 5 Transmits one byte status of the printer in real time.

When either cash drawer is open, an open status is reported by the printer. Real time commands disabled ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal US z n 1F 7A n 31 122 n Value of n: 0 = enable 1 = disable This command is used to disable real time commands. They are disabled prior to sending graphic or other data to the printer that may contain embedded real time commands. The command is a batch command and processed in the order received. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 81 Automatic Status Back Enable/disable Automatic Status Back (ASB) ASCII: GS a n Hexadecimal: 1D 61 n Decimal: 29 97 n Range of n: 0 - 255 Default: 0 (ASB disabled) Enables or disables automatic status back (ASB) and specifies the status items. This command is a batch mode command; that is, it is processed after all prior data in the input buffer has been processed. There may be a time lag between the printer receiving this command and changing the ASB response, depending on the receive buffer contents. If any of the status items listed are selected, ASB is enabled and the printer automatically transmits 4 status bytes whenever the selected status changes. If no status is selected, ASB is disabled. All four status bytes are transmitted without checking DSR If the error status is enabled, a change in the following conditions will trigger the ASB: • Cash Drawer • Receipt Cover • Knife Error • Out-of-Range Printhead Temperature • Out-of-Range Voltage • Paper Exhaust Status The bits of n are defined in the table. Bit Off/On Hex Decimal Status for ASB 0 Off On 00 01 0 1 Cash drawer status disabled. Cash drawer status enabled. 1 Off On 00 02 0 2 RS-232C Busy status disabled.

This command is a batch mode command; that is, it is processed after all prior data in the input buffer has been processed. There may be a time lag between the printer receiving this command and enabling unsolicited status mode (USM), depending on the pending input buffer contents. If an immediate return of printer status is desired, then any of the other status commands should be issued following this command. Once this mode is activated, the printer automatically transmits 4 status bytes whenever any of the conditions change. If an RS-232C connection with hardware flow control is used, all four status bytes will be transmitted without checking DSR. This command is a POS version of general printer unsolicited status functions; it uses the same command code as older versions of the POS command, “automatic status back (ASB)” but has the following differences: • The parameter n is an on/off switch; it does not select trigger subset • There is no immediate return when this mode is turned on • All 4 status bytes are always returned A change in any of the following conditions will trigger the USM response: • Cash Drawer • Receipt Cover • Knife Error • Out-of-Range Printhead Temperature • Out-of-Range Voltage • Paper Exhaust Status Related information When Unsolicited Status Mode is enabled using this command, the status transmitted by other commands and the USM status are differentiated according to the information found in Recognizing Data from the printer, which follows the USM return description. The status bytes to be transmitted are described in the following four tables.

These commands describe operation for 80mm paper. QR code Overview QR code is a 2-dimensional matrix symbology consisting of an array of nominally square modules arranged in an overall square pattern using the QR symbology. A unique pattern at three of the symbol’s four corners assists in determining the bar code size, position, and rotation. A series of seven commands are required to create and print QR codes. 1. Select model for QR code 1D 28 6B 04 00 31 41 n1 n2 2. Set the size for QR module 1D 28 6B 03 00 31 43 n 3. Set data parsing mode 1D 28 6B 03 00 31 44 m 4. Select error correction level 1D 28 6B 03 00 31 45 n 5. Store symbol data 1D 28 6B qL qH 31 50 30 f1…fk 6. Print symbol data 1D 28 6B 03 00 31 51 30 7. Transmit QR code print size 1D 28 6B 03 00 31 52 30 The details of each command are described below. Note: The settings for model, size of module, and error correction level are effective until the printer is reset, or the power is turned off. Select model for QR code ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal Value of n1: Value of n2: GS ( k EOT NUL 1 A n1 n2 1D 28 6B 04 00 31 41 n1 n2 29 40 107 4 0 49 65 n1 n2 31h = Selects model 1 32h = Selects model 2 (default) 00h (default) This command specifies the original version (m = 1), or the enhanced form of the symbology (m = 2). Model 2 is the recommended model.

Auto mode will try to determine the best encoding scheme to use to encode the data based off of the values in the buffer. This mode may not encode the data as desired (data intended to be encoded as one type may be encoded as another due to overlap between the two). Manual mode allows for more control, as the data can be broken into blocks (up to 200) that are each assigned a type using a leading byte, with each block separated by a comma (0x2C). See store symbol data for QR Code for more details.

In standard mode, use this function when printer is “at the beginning of a line,” or “there is no data in the print buffer.” The symbol size that exceeds the print area cannot be printed. If there is no data in storage, or if the data in the storage area is more than the data allowed by specified model and data compaction mode, the QR code cannot be printed. The following data are added automatically by the encode processing. Position Detection Patterns Separators for Position Detection Patterns Timing Patterns Format Information Version Information Error Correction code words (employs the Reed-Solomon Error Detection and Correction algorithm) Pad codeword Number of bits in Character Count Indicator Mode Indicator Terminator Alignment Patterns (when model 2 is selected) Extension Patterns (when model 1 is selected) 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 print 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 print 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 print position to the next dot of the last data of the symbol. A quiet zone of four times the size of one module is required on all sides of the QR code symbol, but it is not included in the printing data. Be sure to add a quiet zone when using this function. 90 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Transmit QR code print size ASCII GS ( k ETX NUL 1 R 0 Hexadecimal 1D 28 6B 03 00 31 52 30 Decimal 29 40 107 03 00 49 82 48 Transmits the size information for printing the QR symbol data stored by the store data command in the symbol storage area.

Barcode Size “Horizontal size” and “vertical size” indicate the number of dots of the symbol. The decimal value of the vertical size and horizontal size is converted to text data and sent starting from the high order end. (ex: When horizontal size is 120 dots, horizontal size is “120” (in hexadecimal: 31H, 32H, and 30H / in decimal: 49, 50, and 48 ), which is 3 bytes of data.) 2. Other Information “Other information” indicates whether printing of the data in the symbol storage area is possible or impossible. The “Other information” is the following. Hex DecimalCondition 30H 48 Printing is possible. 31H 49 Printing is impossible. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 3.

If the width of the bar code exceeds one line, the bar code is not printed. There are two variations to this command. The first variation uses a NUL character to terminate the string; the second uses a length byte at the beginning of the string to compensate for the code 128 bar code, which can accept a NUL character as part of the data. With the second variation, the length of byte is specified at the beginning of the string. Bar codes can be aligned left, center, or right using the align positions command (1B 61). The check digit is calculated for UPC and JAN (EAN) codes if it is not sent from the host computer. Six-character zerosuppressed UPC-E tags are generated from full 11 or 12 characters sent from the host computer according to standard UPC-E rules.

Defaults: a=1 b=2 c = 58 d=7 e=3 f = 10 PDF 417 is a multi-row, continuous, variable length symbology which has high data capacity. Each symbol has between 3 and 90 rows, with each row containing a start pattern, a left row indicator, 1 to 30 data characters, a right row indicator and a stop pattern. The number and length of the rows are selectable, which allows the aspect ratio to be adjusted to particular labeling applications. There are no separator bars between rows. Each character has four bars and four spaces within 17 modules, and is assigned a value between 0 and 928. For this symbology, it is common to refer to these character values as “code words.” Chapter 3: Programming Commands 97 There are three mutually exclusive sets of symbol patterns, or clusters, each having 929 distinct patterns. Because different clusters are used for adjacent rows, it is possible for the decoder to tell if the scanning path is crossing row boundaries without the use of separator bars. Sample symbol description: Each PDF 417 symbol consists of 3 to 90 stacked rows surrounded on all four sides by a quiet zone. Each row contains: 1 Leading quiet zone 2 Start pattern 3 Left row indicator characters (code words) Data Character Start Pattern Code words Stop Pattern Left Row Indicator Right Row Indicator Code words Code words 4 One to thirty data characters (code words) 5 Right row indicator character (code words) 6 Stop pattern 7 Trailing quiet zone row 1 - row 2 - row 3 - row 4 - row 5 - row 6 The number of characters in a row and number of rows can be adjusted to vary the symbol’s overall aspect ratio to best fit an available space. Each row has a left and right row indicator with a data region between. The left-most character in the top row of the data region is the total number of characters in the data region, excluding error correction characters. Characters within the data region are designed to be read from left to right, starting on the top row, immediately after the length-defining character. The maximum characters in the data region are 928. Related Information: The “Set bar code width” command (1D 77 n) affects the x dimension and row height for PDF 417.

Notes The symbol data saved in the symbol storage area by this command is encoded by printing and transmission of this command. After printing and transmission are executed, the symbol data in the symbol storage area is kept. FNC1 character must be specified as ESC (Hex = 1BH / Decimal = 27) + “1” (Hex = 31H / Decimal = 49). ESC itself must be specified as ESC + ESC. The symbol data saved in the symbol storage area by this command is kept until the following processing is performed: This function is executed 1b 40 is executed The printer is reset or the power is turned off Chapter 3: Programming Commands 101 Print DataMatrix symbol data in the symbol storage area ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS ( k pL pH cn fn m 1D 28 6B 03 00 36 54 30 29 40 107 3 0 54 84 48 Value and Ranges: Value: Ranges: (pL + pH x 256) 3 cn 54 fn 81 m 48 This command encodes and prints the DataMatrix symbol data stored in the symbol storage area. Notes Use this command when the printer is at the beginning of a line, or there is no data in the print buffer. If the symbol size exceeds the print area, the printer feeds the paper as much as the symbol’s height, without printing the symbol. The quiet zone (the space at the top, bottom, right, and left of the symbols, which is specified by the DataMatrix standard) is not included in the printing data. Be sure to include the quiet zone when using this function. If there is any of the errors described below in the data of the symbol storage area, the barcode will not be printed. • There is no data. • When there is a problem with the amount of data saved in the symbol storage area. • When the data saved in the symbol storage area includes data outside the domain. Printing of symbol is not affected by print mode (emphasized, double-strike, underline, or font size), except for upsidedown print mode. The following functions are not supported: Structured Append Symbols Macro Character Reader Programming Character ECI: Extended Channel Interpretation Error correction version is ECC 200. Versions ECC 000 – 140 cannot be used. For ECC 200, the Reed-Solomon Error Detection and Correction algorithm is used for the error correction codewords. In the Reed-Solomon Error Detection and Correction algorithm, the error correction level (%) is automatically determined based on the symbol size. The data sequence: ESC (Hex = 1BH / Decimal = 27) + “1” (Hex = 31H / Decimal = 49) is encoded to FNC1 character. The data sequence: ESC + ESC is encoded to ESC. 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. After the symbol printing, the print postion is moved to left side of the printable area. Also, the printer is in the status “beginning of the line”. In Page mode, the printer stores the symbol data in the print buffer without executing actual printing. The printer moves print position to the next dot of the last data of the symbol. 102 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Page mode Page mode is one of two modes that the A798II printer uses to operate. Standard mode is typical of how most printers operate by printing data as it is received and feeding paper as the various paper feed commands are received. Page mode is different in that it processes or prepares the data as a “page” in memory before it prints it. Think of this as a virtual page. The page can be any area within certain parameters that you define. The page is printed using either the FF (0C) or the ESC FF (1B 0C) command. The select page mode command (1B 4C) puts the printer into page mode. Any commands that are received are interpreted as page mode commands. Several commands react differently when in standard mode and page mode. The descriptions of these individual commands in this chapter indicate the differences in how they operate in the two modes. These commands describe the operation for 80mm paper. Note: the A793 Emulation does not support Page Mode. Print and return to standard mode ASCIIFF Hexadecimal0C Decimal12 When printing is completed, values for select print direction in page mode (1B 54n) and set print area in page mode (1B 57 n1, n2, …n8) and the position for buffering character data are set. Buffered data is not deleted from the printer. The processed data is printed and the printer returns to standard mode. The developed data is deleted after being printed. For more information see page mode in this document. Exceptions This command is enabled only in page mode. Cancel print data in page mode ASCIICAN Hexadecimal18 Decimal24 Deletes all the data to be printed in the “page” area. Any data from the previously selected “page” area that is also part of the current data to be printed is deleted. Exceptions This command is only used in page mode. Print data in page mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC FF 1B 0C 27 12 Collectively prints all buffered data in the printing area. After printing, the printer does not clear the buffered data and sets values for select print direction in page mode (1B 54 n) and set print area in page mode (1B 57 …), and sets the position for buffering character data. Printer returns to standard mode through use of 0C, 1B 53, or initialization (which cancels all settings). Exceptions This command is enabled only in page mode. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 103 Select page mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC L 1B 4C 27 76 Switches from standard mode to page mode. After printing has been completed either by the print and return to standard mode (FF) command or select standard mode (1B 53) the printer returns to standard mode. The developed data is deleted after being printed. For more information see page mode in this document. This command sets the position where data is buffered to the position specified by select print direction in page mode (1B 54) within the printing area defined by set print area in page mode (1B 57). This command switches the settings for the following commands (which values can be set independently in standard mode and page mode) to those for page mode. • Set right-side character spacing (1B 20) • Select 1/6-inch line spacing (1B 32) • Set line spacing (1B 33) It is possible only to set values for the following commands in page mode. These commands are not executed. • Select or cancel 90 degree clockwise rotation (1B 56) • Set counter-clockwise rotation (1B 12) • Select justification (1B 61) • Select or cancel upside-down printing (1B 7B) • Set left margin (1D 4C) • Set print area width (1D 57) The table below shows the memory allocation in page mode when using monochrome. Paper type Total memory allocated (kBytes) Area of construction (mm) Monochrome paper 40.5 72 wide x 72 high Printer returns to standard mode through use of 0C, 1B 53, or initialization (which cancels all settings).

The command has no effect if page mode has previously been selected. 104 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Select standard mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC S 1B 53 27 83 Switches from page mode to standard mode. In switching from page mode to standard mode, data buffered in page mode are cleared, the printing area set by set print area in page mode (1B 57) is initialized and the print position is set to the beginning of the line. This command switches the settings for the following commands (the values for these commands can be set independently in standard mode and page mode) to those for standard mode: • Set right-side character spacing (1B 20) • Select 1/6 inch line spacing (1B 32) • Set line spacing (1B 33) Standard mode is automatically selected when power is turned on, the printer is reset, or the initialize printer command (1B 40) is used. 18, 1B 0C, 1D 24, and 1D 5C commands are ignored in standard mode. Exceptions This command is effective only in page mode. Select print direction in page mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC T n 1B 54 n 27 84 n Value of n: Start position 0 = Upper left corner proceeding across page to the right [A] 1 = Lower left corner proceeding up the page [B] 2 = Lower right corner proceeding across page to the left (upside down) [C] 3 = Upper right corner proceeding down page [D] Default: 0 Selects the printing direction and start position in page mode. See the illustration below. The command can be sent multiple times so that several different print areas, aligned in different print directions, can be developed in the printer’s page buffer before being printed using the print page mode commands (0C or 1B 0C). Starting Position Commands Using Motion Unit Upper Left/Lower Right 1B 20, 1B 24, 1B 5C (horizontal motion unit) 1B 33, 1B 4A, 1D 24, 1D 5C (vertical motion unit) Upper Right/Lower Left 1B 33, 1B 4A, 1D 24, 1D 5C (horizontal motion unit) 1B 20, 1B 24, 1B 5C (vertical motion unit) Exceptions The command is valid only in page mode. The command is ignored if the value of n is out of the specified range. If this command is processed in standard mode, print direction is not changed until the printer is set to page mode. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 105 Set print area in page mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC W n1, n2 ...n8 1B 57 n1, n2 ...n8 27 87 n1, n2 ...n8 Range of n:0-255 Default: n1-4 = 0 n5 = 64 n6 = 2 n7 = 64 n8 = 2 (576x576 for 80mm paper) Sets the position and size of the printing area in page mode until the printer is initialized, reset, or powered off, or a 0C command is sent. The command can be sent multiple times so that several different print areas, aligned in different print directions, can be developed in the printer’s page buffer before being printed using the print page mode commands (0C or B 0C). Formulas The starting position of the print area is the upper left of the area to be printed (x0, y0). The length of the area to be printed in the y direction is set to dy inches. The length of the area to be printed in the x direction is set to dx inches. Use the equations to determine the Value of x0, y0, dx, and dy. • x0 = [(n1 + n2 x 256) x (horizontal direction of the fundamental calculation pitch)] • y0 = [(n3 + n4 x 256) x (vertical direction of the fundamental calculation pitch)] • dx = [(n5 + n6 x 256) x (horizontal direction of the fundamental calculation pitch)] • dy = [(n7 + n8 x 256) x (vertical direction of the fundamental calculation pitch)] Keep the following notes in mind for this command. • The fundamental calculation pitch depends on the vertical or horizontal direction. • The maximum printable area in the x direction is 576/203 inches. • The maximum printable area in the y direction is 576/203 inches. See the illustration for a graphic representation of the printing area. For more information about the fundamental calculation pitch, see the set horizontal and vertical motion units command (1D 50). Maximum area specification in page mode Maximizing the possible area in page mode consumes almost all of the free RAM. Without any free RAM, bitmap rotations and enlargements cannot be performed. Use the User Storage Status command (1D 97 m n) to determine the amount of free memory. Exceptions The command is effective only in page mode. If [x0 + dx] is greater than the printable area, the printing area width is set to [horizontal printable area – x0]. If [y0 + yx] is greater than the printable area, the printing area height is set to [vertical printable area – y0]. 106 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Set absolute vertical print position in page mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS $ nL nH 1D 24 nL nH 29 36 nL nH Sets the absolute vertical print starting position for buffer character data in page mode. The absolute print position is set to [(nL + nH X 256) x (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches. The vertical or horizontal motion unit for the paper roll is used and the horizontal starting buffer position does not move. The reference starting position is set by select print direction in page mode (1B 54). This sets the absolute position in the vertical direction when the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right; and sets the absolute position in the horizontal when the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left. The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by the set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D 50) command. The set horizontal and vertical minimum motion units (1D 50) command can be used to change the horizontal and vertical motion unit. However, the value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum horizontal movement amount. Formulas [(nL + nH X 256) x (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] inches. Exceptions This command is effective only in page mode. If the [(nL + nH X 256) x (vertical or horizontal motion unit)] exceeds the specified printing area, this command is ignored. Set relative vertical print position in page mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS \ nL nH 1D 5C nL nH 29 92 nL nH Value The value for the horizontal and vertical movement cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and must be in even units of the minimum horizontal movement amount. Sets the relative vertical print starting position from the current position. This command can also change the horizontal and vertical motion unit. The unit of horizontal and vertical motion is specified by this command. This command functions as follows, depending on the print starting position set by select print direction in page mode (1B 54): • When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printing area, the vertical motion unit (y) is used. • When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printing area, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used. Formulas The distance from the current position is set to [(nL + nH x 256) x vertical or horizontal motion unit] inches. The amount of movement is calculated only for the paper roll. When pitch n is specified to the movement downward: nL + nH x 256 = n When pitch n is specified to the movement upward (the negative direction), use the complement of 65536. When pitch n is specified to the movement upward: nL + nH x 256 – 65536 – N Exceptions This command is used only in page mode, otherwise it is ignored. Any setting that exceeds the specified printing area is ignored. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 107 Macros These commands are used to select and perform a user-defined sequence of printer operations. Select or cancel macro definition ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS : 1D 3A 29 58 Starts or ends macro definition. Macro definition begins when this command is received during normal operation and ends when this command is received during macro definition. The macro definition is cleared, during definition of the macro when the execute macro (1D 5E) command is received. Normal printing occurs while the macro is defined. When the power is turned on the macro is not defined. The defined contents of the macro are not cleared by the initialize printer (1B 40), thus, the initialize printer (1B 40) command may be used as part of the macro definition. If the printer receives a second select or cancel macro definition (1D 3A) command immediately after previously receiving a select or cancel macro definition (1D 3A) the printer remains in the macro undefined state. Formulas The contents of the macro can be defined up to 2048 bytes. Exceptions If the macro definition exceeds 2048 bytes, excess data is not stored. Execute macro ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS ^ r t m 1D 5E r t m 29 94 r t m Value of r: The number of times to execute the macro. Value of t: The waiting time for executing the macro. Executes a macro. After waiting for a specified period the printer waits for the paper feed button to be pressed. After the button is pressed, the printer executes the macro once. The printer repeats this operation the number of specified times. When the macro is executed by pressing the paper feed button (m = 1), paper cannot be fed by using the paper feed button. Formulas The waiting time is t x 100 ms for every macro execution. m specifies macro executing mode when the LSB (least significant bit) m = 0 The macro executes r times continuously at the interval specified by t when the LSB (least significant bit) of m = 1. Exceptions If this command is received while a macro is being defined, the macro definition is aborted and the definition is cleared. If the macro is not defined or if r is 0, nothing is executed. 108 Chapter 3: Programming Commands User data storage Write to user data storage ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC ‘ m a0 a1 a2 d1 ... dm 1B 27 m a0 a1 a2 d1 ... dm 27 39 m a0 a1 a2 d1 ... dm Value of m: 0 – 255 Writes m bytes of data to the user data storage flash page at the address specified. The printer waits for m bytes of data following the 3-byte address, addr. If any of the memory locations addressed by this command are not currently erased, the command is not executed.

This is used to print a special logo but not have it take up flash memory. A logo defined following this command is not preserved over a power cycle. The printer disables interrupts while writing to flash. Any command that cause data to be written to flash should be followed by a 50 Msec delay to allow significant time for the write operation. n = 49 (ASCII n = 1) HEX 31 Loads active logo to flash memory. This is the default condition for logo flash storage. A logo defined following this command is stored in flash memory. n = 50 (ASCII n = 2) HEX 32 Loads user-defined characters to RAM only. This is the default condition for user-defined character storage. Any userdefined characters defined following this command are not preserved over a power cycle. n = 51 (ASCII n = 3) HEX 33 Loads user-defined characters to flash memory. An application must use this command to store user-defined characters in flash memory. Any user-defined characters defined following this command are stored in flash memory. A user-defined character cannot be redefined in flash memory. The flash memory page must be erased by an application before redefining user-defined characters. For more information, see the erase user flash sector (1D 40 n) command. Specifies whether to load the logos or user-defined characters to logo/font flash memory or to RAM (volatile memory). The selection remains in effect until it is changed via this command or until the power cycles. To specify permanent font flash, also send 1D 22 81 01. Related information This command is recognized in Native mode. In A793 and LEGACY emulations, parameter bytes go into the print buffer. Chapter 3: Programming Commands 109 Flash memory user sectors allocation ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS “ U n1 n 1D 22 55 n1 n2 29 34 85 n1 n2 Default Value of n1: 1 (see below) Default Value of n2: 1 (see below) n1 is the number of 64k sectors used for logos and user-defined characters. n2 is the number of 64k sectors used for user data storage. n1 + n2 <= 6 (dec) (1M) n1 + n2 <= 22 (dec) 16 (hex) (2M) If n1 + n2 is greater than the maximum number of sectors available, the command is ignored. The printer returns NACK. Issuing this command with parameters different from current parameters will erase all sectors. The printer returns ACK. Issuing this command with parameters the same as current parameters will do nothing. The printer returns ACK. Note: Flash memory is made up of user and program code. Therefore, the available flash memory space will vary with the amount of program code utilized. Flash object area pack ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS “ ` n1 1D 22 60 n1 29 34 96 n1 Value of n1: n1 specifies n1 = 0 pack the permanent font area n1 = 1 pack the logo and user-defined character area Issuing this command will pack the objects currently stored in flash memory. Objects that are no longer valid will be removed. This will provide the user the maximum amount of storage in this area for new objects. Note: Flash memory is made up of user and program code. Therefore, the available flash memory space will vary with the amount of program code utilized. Flash object delete ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS “ ` n1 n2 (n3) 1D 22 61 n1 n2 (n3) 29 34 97 n1 n2 (n3) Value of n1: n1 specifies n1 = 01 user-defined character set where n2 is the ID of the user-defined character set to delete. This will delete all characters found that are part of the specified set. n1 = 02 logo where n2 is the ID of the logo to delete n1 = 0C double-byte font where n2 is the font ID and n3 is the font style of the font to delete. This will delete the double-byte font of the specified ID and style. If no other fonts of the same ID are found, the double-byte table that corresponds to this ID will be deleted as well. n1 = 0D POS fontset where n2 is the ID of the fontset to delete. This will delete both fonts specified by the fontset, if they are not used in any other fontset. n1 = 0F demo script, which takes no following n parameters. Erases all scripts found, not individual scripts. Issuing this command will delete an individual object or group of objects from flash memory. The parameter n3 is not used for all types. To reuse the space that these objects occupied in flash memory, a flash area pack must be performed after deleting the object(s). Note: Flash memory is made up of user and program code. Therefore, the available flash memory space will vary with the amount of program code utilized. 110 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Expanded flash memory allocation ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS “ 0x80 1D 22 80 29 34 128 This sequence of commands is used to specify the number of flash sectors to be used for different applications. The begin and end sequence commands must be sent. All areas do not need to have flash sectors specified. The command to request the number of user sectors is optional. If more sectors are specified than are available the command sequence is ignored and the printer returns NACK. If the sectors are available, and different from current parameters, all sectors are erased and the printer returns ACK. If the sectors specified are the same as current parameters, nothing is erased and the printer returns ACK. 1D 22 80 00 1D 22 80 30 1D 22 80 31 nL nH 1D 22 80 32 nL nH 1D 22 80 33 nL nH 1D 22 80 34 nL nH 1D 22 80 40 request number of user sectors available, printer returns nL nH begin expanded flash memory allocation sequence n sectors to logo/font area n sectors to user data storage area n sectors to permanent font area n sectors to electronic journal area end expanded flash memory allocation sequence n = 0xFFFF means allocate all remaining sectors to this area; only one area can specify this parameter value.

Chapter 3: Programming Commands 111 Erase user flash sector ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS @ n 1D 40 n 29 64 n Value of n: 49 – 51 n = 49 (ASCII n = 1) HEX 31 This command erases all 64K flash memory sectors allocated to user-defined character and logos storage. Those sectors should be erased in two situations: when the logo definition area is full and an application is attempting to define new logos, and when an application wants to replace one user-defined character set with another. In both cases, all logos and character set definitions are erased and must be redefined. n = 50 (ASCII n = 2) HEX 32 This command erases all sectors available for user data storage. n = 51 (ASCII n = 3) HEX 33 This command erases all sectors available for permanent fonts. Erases a page of flash memory and sends a carriage return when the operation is complete. Related information See command “Flash memory user sectors allocation” (1D 22 55 n1 n2). See also command “Expanded flash memory allocation” (1D 22 80) and “Select flash area” (1D 22 81 n). Important: While erasing flash memory, the printer disables all interrupts, including communications. To provide feedback to the application, the printer responds to the application when the erase is complete with a 0D (Hex). After sending the erase user flash sector (1D 40 n) command, an application should wait for the response from the printer before sending data. Otherwise, data will be lost. If an application is unable to receive data, it should wait a minimum of ten seconds after sending the erase user flash sector (1D 40 n) command before sending data. Lock permanent font flash area ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS 0xF0 0x10 n 1D F0 10 n 29 240 16 n Value of n: n = 0x00 n = 0x01 lock permanent font flash (default) unlock permanent font flash to erase or delete This command allows or prevents the permanent font area to be erased. Note: This only affects the 1D 40 33 commands and downloading a font to permanet font area when a font already exists with the same ID. Flash download These commands are used to load firmware into the printer. The commands are listed in numerical order according to their hexadecimal codes. Each command is described and the hexadecimal, decimal, and ASCII codes are listed. There are two ways to enter the download mode. 1. While the printer is running normally, send the command, “Switch to flash download mode” (1B 5B 7D) to leave normal operation and enter the download mode. 2. If the flash if found corrupted during level 0 diagnostics the download mode is automatically entered after the printer has reset. The printer never goes directly from the download mode to normal printer operation. To return to normal printer operation either the operator must turn the power off and then on to reboot or the application must send a command to cancel download mode and reboot. 112 Chapter 3: Programming Commands When each flash download command is received, the printer returns either ACK or NAK to the host computer when each command is received: • ACK (hexadecimal 06) Sent when the printer has received a host transmission and has completed the request successfully. • NAK (hexadecimal 15) Sent when a request is unsuccessful. Communicates to the printer information downloaded from applications. Data is downloaded to flash memory to query the state of the firmware, calculate the firmware CRC and other functions. Switch to flash download mode ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal ESC [ } 1B 5B 7D 27 91 125 Puts the printer in flash download mode in preparation to receive commands controlling the downloading of objects into flash memory. When this command is received, the printer leaves normal operation and can no longer print transactions until the reboot the printer command (1D FF) is received or the printer is rebooted. This command does not affect the current communication parameters. Once the printer is in flash download mode, this command is no longer available. Related information See entering flash download mode elsewhere in this book to put the printer in flash download mode using the configuration menu. Erase all flash contents except boot sector ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS SO 1D 0E 29 14 Causes the entire flash memory to be erased. The printer returns ACK if the command is successful; NAK if it is unsuccessful. Exceptions Available only in download mode. Return main program flash CRC ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS SI 1D 0F 29 15 Returns the CRC calculated over the flash firmware code space. The format of the response is ACK <low byte> <high byte>.

Reset firmware ASCII Hexadecimal Decimal GS (SPACE) 1D FF 29 255 Ends the load process and reboots the printer. Before executing this command, the printer should have firmware loaded and external switches set to the runtime settings. Application software for downloading should prompt the user to set the external switches and confirm before sending this command. If the downloading was started from a diagnostic, the reboot will cause the printer to re-enter download state unless the external switches are changed. 114 Chapter 3: Programming Commands Settings commands The following commands enable the user to save and restore printer settings.
