Changes into the user setting mode.
Ends the user setting mode session.
(Performs a soft reset.)
Sets value(s) for the memory switch.
Transmits the settings of the memory
switch to the host.
Sets the communication conditions for the
serial interface.
Transmits the communication conditions for
the serial interface.
▪ pL, pH specifies (pL + pH x 256) as the number of bytes after pH (fn and
[parameter]).
▪ The user setting mode is a special mode to change the values in the NV
user memory with this command.
▪ In Function 2, the printer performs software reset. Therefore, the printer
clears the receive and print buffers, and resets all settings (user-defined
characters, macros, and the character style) to the mode in effect at power
on.
▪ Frequent write commands by this command, may damage the NV memory.
Therefore, it is recommended to write to NV memory no more than 10
times a day.
▪ While processing this command, the printer is BUSY while writing data to
the user NV memory and stops receiving data. Therefore it is prohibited to
transmit data including the real-time commands during the execution of this
command.

▪ pL, pH specifies (pL + pH x 256) as the number of bytes after pH(m, fn,

▪ Frequent write command executions by this command may damage the
NV memory. Therefore, it is recommended to write to the NV memory no
more than 10times a day.
▪ While processing this command, the printer is BUSY while writing data to
the NV graphics memory and stops receiving data. Therefore it is
prohibited to transmit data including the real-time commands during the
execution of this command.

[Notes]
For PDF417 symbol data (when cn=48)
▪ The symbol data specified by Function 080 d1...dk is stored in the printer
and is printed by the specification of Function 081. The symbol data in the
save area is reserved until the following processing is performed :
- Function 080 is executed
- ESC @ is executed
- The printer is reset or the power is turned off
▪ When processing Function 081 or 082, the setting values of Functions
065 to 070 are used. If the printable area is not large enough, the symbol
may not be printed.
▪ Executing Function 081 after executing Function 080 repeatedly prints the
same symbol data.
▪ By using Functions 065 to 070 combined with Function 081, the same
symbol data d1...dk is printed differently.
▪ By using Function 082, the symbol size printed by Function 081 is
available.
QRCODE Symbol Data (cn = 49)
▪ Symbol data is saved according to <Function 180> and printed according
to <Function 181>. The symbol data in the storage area is saved until the
following actions.
- Execution of Function 180
- Execution of ESC @
- Turning off of printer power
▪ When either Function 181 or Function 182 is executed, the setting values
of Functions 165~169 are used. If the printable area is insufficient in size,
the symbol data is not printed.
▪ According to the settings of <Function 165> to <Function 169>, <Function
181> has and prints the same data d1….dk.
▪ <Function 182> uses the size printed by <Function 181>.

[Description] Encodes and prints the PDF417 symbol data in the symbol save area.
[Notes]
▪ In standard mode, use this function when printer is “at the beginning of a
line,” or “there is no data in the printer buffer.”
▪ A symbol that size exceeds the printing area cannot be printed.
▪ If there is any error described below in the data of the symbol save area, it
cannot be printed.
- There is no data (Function 080 is not processed).
- If [(number of columns x number of rows) < number of code word] when
auto processing is specified for number of columns and number of

▪ The following data are added automatically by the encode processing.
- Start pattern and stop pattern.
- Indicator code word of left and right.
- The descriptor of symbol length. (the first code word in the data area)
- The error correction code word calculated by modulus 929.
- Pad codeword.
▪ The data area includes the following code words.
- Data specified by Function 080.
- The descriptor of symbol length. (the first code word in the data area)
- The error correction code word calculated by modulus 929.
- Pad codeword.
▪ When auto processing (Function 065) is specified, the number of
columns is calculated by the current printing area, module width (Function
067), option setting (Function 070), and the code word in the data area.
Maximum number of the columns in 30.
▪ When auto processing (Function 066) is specified in page mode, the
number of rows is calculated by the current printing area, module height
(Function 068), and the code word in the data area. The maximum number
of rows is 90.
▪ Printing of symbol is not affected by print mode (emphasized, doublestrike, underline, white/black reverse printing, or 90˚ clockwise-rotated),
except for character size and upside-down printing mode.
▪ In standard mode, this command executes paper feeding for the amount
needed for printing the symbol, regardless of the paper feed amount set by
the paper feed setting command. The printing position returns to the left
side of the printable area after printing the symbol, and printer is in the
status “beginning of the line,” or “ there is no data in the print buffer.”
▪ In page mode, the printer stores the symbol data in the print buffer without
executing actual printing. The printer moves printing position to the next
dot of the last data of the symbol.
▪ The quiet zone is not included in the printing data. Be sure to include the
quiet zone when using this function.

Encodes and prints QR CODE symbol data saved in the storage area
▪ This function is used in regular mode when the printer is at the first line or
no data is present in the printer buffer.
▪ If the size of any one symbol is larger than the print area, printing cannot
be done.
▪ If any of the following errors is present in the symbol storage area, printing
cannot be done.
- There is no data. (Function 180 cannot be executed)
- If [(number of columns x number of rows) < number of code words], the
numbers of columns and rows are automatically processed.
- The four data type compression modes are as follows. According to
the symbol data in the data storage area, automatic conversion to the
optimal compression mode is done.
- Numeric Data Mode
- Alphanumeric Data Mode
- Kanji Data Mode
- 8bit Data Mode
▪ The following data is automatically added during encoding.
- Position sensor pattern
- Segregator for the position sensor pattern
- Timing pattern
- Format information
- Version information
- Error correction code text
- Pad code text
- Indicator for counting bits of bytes
- Mode indicator
- Concluder
- Queue pattern (when model 2 is selected)
- Expansion pattern (when model 1 is selected)
▪ During symbol printing, the printer mode has no effect (bold, underline,
reverse direction, contrast).
▪ In regular mode, this command supplies enough paper required for
symbol printing. If paper supply is not easy, the paper supply command
is executed. When printing, the printing position is to the left of the print
area. After symbol printing, the printer returns to the start position of the
line, and the buffer is emptied.

Encodes and prints DATAMATRIX symbol data saved in the storage area
▪ This function is used in regular mode when the printer is at the first line or
no data is present in the printer buffer.
▪ If the size of any one symbol is larger than the print area, printing cannot
be done.
▪ If any of the following errors is present in the symbol storage area, printing
cannot be done.
- There is no data. (Function 380 cannot be executed)
- The number of alphanumeric characters exceeds 2334.
- The number of 8bit byte characters exceeds 1558.
- The number of numeric characters exceeds 3116.
▪ DATAMATRIX uses ECC 200 symbols.
▪ In the detection and correction of errors, DATAMATRIX uses the ReedSolomon algorithm.
▪ The following data is automatically added during the encoding process.
- Position pattern
- Error correction code text
- Mode separator
- Pad code text
▪ During symbol printing, the printer mode has no effect (bold, underline,
reverse direction, contrast).
▪ In regular mode, this command supplies enough paper required for
symbol printing. If paper supply is not easy, the paper supply command
is executed. When printing, the printing position is to the left of the print
area. After symbol printing, the printer returns to the start position of the
line, and the buffer is emptied.
