At a high speed, current is passed through the head during paper feeding, resulting in improvement of throughput.

x Divided current-carrying

On this printer, power consumption is reduced in case of high-density printing. Therefore, printing is performed in a maximum of three blocks (divided current-carrying). If the divided current-carrying is specified to Block, high-speed printing will be enabled. Deviation, however, will occur between blocks.

If the divided current-carrying is specified to Chopper, deviation between blocks will not occur and printing quality will be improved. Throughput, however, will be reduced.

x

At the time of completion of processing of the stored data (d) outside the definition area, processing by this command will be stopped and the next data will be processed as normal data. At this time, the data which has already been processed will be stored into memory.

x

Data storage processing executes “overwriting”. Therefore, the data which have been already stored into the area for storage processing are erased.

x

If an error occurs during the writing process, the error will be “Memory R/W Error”.

x

The data in the user NV memory can be read by FS g.

x

The data in the user NV memory is not initialized by execution of ESC @, execution of FS q, resetting or power OFF.

[Caution] x

Frequent use of the “writing into the nonvolatile memory” command (FS g1) may destroy memory.

Therefore, the “writing into the nonvolatile memory” command should be used “less than 10 times a day”.

x

In some cases, the printer may become BUSY while data is being written into the nonvolatile memory with this command.

While the printer is BUSY, it will stop receiving data and sending data from the host (including real-time commands) will be prohibited.

x

After the preparation for sending data is completed, the following processes will be executed.

(1) The printer state will change from READY to BUSY. If the state has already been set to BUSY, the printer will do nothing.

(2) “Header + Data + NUL” will be sent.

(3) The printer state will change BUSY from to READY. At this time, if the printer state has already been set to BUSY due to other causes, the printer will do nothing.

x

The configuration of “Header + Data + NUL” is as follows:

Header: Hexadecimal number = 5F/Decimal number = 95 (1 byte)

Data: Data in User NV memory “ (nL + (nH × 256)) bytes”

NUL: Hexadecimal number = 00H／Decimal number =0 (1 byte) x

When the DTR/DSR control is selected, all codes are sent continuously after checking that the host can receive data when the header is sent. If the host cannot receive data, the printer will wait until the host is ready for receiving data.

x

When the XON/XOFF control is selected, all codes are sent continuously without checking whether the host can receive data or not. Data that has been sent is always continuous except for XOFF code.

x

When parallel interface is used, the size of buffer for data to be sent (buffer that stores all data to be sent except for ASB status) is 99 bytes. Data exceeding 99 bytes will be discarded.

x

Data in the user NV memory can be written by using FS g1.

x

Depending on the state of receiving buffer, there may be a delay between receiving this command and storing data.

x

After the header is sent, all data will be sent without checking whether the host can receive the data or not.

Therefore, when this command is used, more than (the number of sending data + 2) bytes of space should be secured in the receiving buffer of the host in order not to fail to receive data.

x

While data is being sent, real-time commands (DLE extension command) are ignored. Even if ASB function is selected as enabled, ASB status will not be sent while data are being sent.

Accordingly, it is not possible to know any change in printer state by its status during data sending. Users should pay attention to this.

(1) The print are is extended to the right side within the limit of print area so that one vertical line of NV bit image can be printed.

(2) When a sufficient print area cannot be maintained even after executing (1), the print area is extended to the left side.

(The left margin is reduced.) x

If the size of bit image exceeding the limit of print area is specified, the data within the limit of print area will be printed, but the data outside the print area will not be printed.

x All the previously defined NV bit images are deleted by this command. Therefore, it is not possible to redefine any one of the previously defined multiple data. To make it possible, all data must be resent.

x During the time between the process start by this command and the completion of hardware reset, any mechanical operation (such as initializing a printer head position by opening a cover and paper feeding with switch) cannot be executed.

x NV bit image refers to a bit image that is defined by FS q in the nonvolatile memory and printed by FS p.

x This command is valid only when it is specified at the head of line where STANDARD MODE was selected, x This command is valid only when it is specified at the head of line where PAGE MODE was selected x This command becomes valid after 7 bytes of <FS∼yH> are processed as normal values.

x If the number of data exceeding the remaining capacity of the area defined by (xL, xH, yL, yH) is specified, this command will be invalid.

x “d” denotes a definition data. Bits which correspond to dots to be printed are represented as 1, and bits which correspond to dots not to be printed are represented as 0.

x “n” pieces of NV bit images are defined starting from the number 01H in ascending order. Therefore, the first data group［xL xH yL yH d1...dk］becomes NV bit image No.01H. This number is identical to the NV bit image number specified by FS p.

x The definition data of one NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1...dk]. Therefore, if only one NV bit image is defined, n=1; the data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] will be processed once, and ([Data: (xL + xH × 256) × (yL + yH × 256) × 8 + [header:4]] bytes of nonvolatile memory is used.

x The maximum definition area of this printer is 2M bits (256K bytes). Multiple NV bit image can be defined, but data of bit images of which total size (bit image data + header) exceeds 2M bits (256K bytes) cannot be defined.

x The printer state will be BUSY just before writing data into the nonvolatile memory.

x While this command is being executed, processes of ABS status sending and status detection will not be executed even if ABS function is specified.

x If this command is sent while a macro is still being defined, the macro definition process will be stopped and the process by this command will start.

x Once NV bit images are defined, the NV bit images are not initialized by execution of ESC @, resetting or

Power OFF.

x This command executes only definition of NV bit image, and it doesn’t start printing. Printing of NV bit image will be executed by FS p.

In STANDARD MODE, the vertical direction means a paper feed direction and the horizontal direction means a direction perpendicular to paper feed direction. Therefore, if 90°-right-turned characters are specified, the relationship between vertical and horizontal directions will be reversed.

x

In PAGE MODE, the vertical direction means the top-bottom direction of each character and the horizontal direction means the side-to side direction of each character.

x

If characters which have different vertical magnifications are contained in the same line, base lines of characters will be aligned.

x

Double width and double height of character can be specified/canceled by ESC !, too. But the last processed command becomes effective.

When Serial Interface is being used, under DTR/DSR control, the printer sends the printer ID after checking that the host is ready to receive.

If the hose is not ready to receive, the printer will wait until the host becomes ready to receive. Under

XON/XOFF control, the printer sends the printer ID without checking whether the host is ready to receive or not.

x

This command is executed at the time of mapping of the receive buffer. Therefore, depending on the state of receive buffer, a delay between command receiving and printer ID sending may occur.

x

By specifying (1<n<3, 49<n<51), one byte of printer ID will be sent.

x

If ASB is enabled by GS a, it is necessary to discriminate between the printer ID due to this command and the status due to ASB. For the discriminating method.

After data processing is completed, the following process will be executed.

(1) The process of (READY BUSY) is executed. At this time, if the printer state has already been BUSY, the printer will do nothing.

(2) The sending process of “Header + Data +NULL” is executed.

(3) The process of (BUSY READY) is executed. At this time, if the printer state has already been set to

BUSY due to other causes, the printer will do nothing.

In case of (1) :

This command ends with a NULL code.

For UPC-A or UPC-E, when 12 bytes of bar code data is entered, the bar code will be printed and the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.

For JAN 13, when 13 bytes of bar code data is entered, the bar code will be printed and the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.

For JAN 8, when 8 bytes of bar code data is entered, the bar code will be printed and the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.

The number of data of ITF bar code must be an even number. If the number of data be an odd number, the last datum will be ignored.

In case of (2) : x x

S denotes the number of data and “n” bytes of subsequent data will be processed as bar code data.

If S is out of the definition range, the command process will be aborted and the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.

In case of STANDARD MODE x If D is out of the definition range, only paper feed will be executed and the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.

If the horizontal width of bar code exceeds the print area of one line, only paper feed will be executed without printing of bar code.

Paper is fed by the amount of height of bar code (including HRI characters when HRI character printing is specified) regardless of the line feed amount set by ESC 3, ESC 2.

If data exists in the print buffer, this command will be ignored.

If the character code Dn is an unprintable character, the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.

x After printing the bar code, the next printing start position will be set at the head of line.

This command doesn’t affect the printing modes (emphasis printing, double printing, underline, character size) except for inverted printing.

In case of PAGE MODE

Only mapping of bar code is executed and printing is not executed. After completion of mapping of bar code, the dot next to the last data of bar code will be the next data mapping start position.

If D is out of the definition range, the command process will be aborted and the subsequent data will be handled as normal data.

At this time, the data mapping start position is not moved.

If the horizontal width of bar code exceeds the print area, the data mapping start will be moved to the left end outside the print area without printing of bar code.
