●
Details:
If the character horizontal direction magnification ratio is more than 2, the right space amount is also
enlarged accordingly.
This command does not affect Chinese characters.
Right space amounts can be set independently for both the standard and page modes.
The basic calculated pitch is set by GSP (Set basic calculated pitch). Also, after setting the right space
amount, it is not affected even if the basic calculated pitch is changed.
If the calculation results in fractions, the pitch is corrected to a minimal mechanical pitch and the rest is
discarded.
In standard mode, the basic calculated pitch (x) for the horizontal direction is used.
In page mode, the basic calculated pitch that is used according to the starting point varies.
a. When the starting point is specified to be upper left or lower right by the ESC T command (Character print
direction selection in page mode), the basic calculated pitch (x) for the horizontal direction is used.
b. When the starting point is specified to be upper right or lower left by the ESC T command (Character print
direction selection in page mode), the basic calculated pitch (y) for the horizontal direction is used.
The maximum value that can be set for the right space amount is approximately 35.983 mm (or 255/180
inch). Specifications that exceed the maximum value are rounded off to that value.

Details:
● Quadruple-size characters are printed by specifying both double-tall (bit4=1) and double-wide (bit 5=1)
modes.
● An underline is applied to the entire character width, including the ESC SP (character right space amount).
However, underlines are not applied to portions that have been skipped using HT (horizontal tab) or ESC V
(character 90 degree rotation).
● The thickness of the underline is set by ESC - (specify/cancel underlines) regardless of the character.
● The base line for characters is the same when there are characters having different vertical direction ratios in
the same line.
● The setting of the last received command is effective even when emphasized printing is executed by the ESC
E (specify/cancel emphasized printing) command.
● The setting of the last received command is effective even when underlines are executed by the (ESC -)
Specify/cancel underline command.
● The setting of the last received command is effective even when character size is executed by the GS!
command.
● Emphasized printing (bit 3) is effective for ANK and Chinese characters. Other printing modes are effective
only on ANK characters. Specifications using this command are ignored in HRI characters.
The following are the font configurations on printers.

Description: Sets the line space for one line to [n x basic calculated pitch].
Note:
● ESC 3 n sets the line spacing to n×(vertical or horizontal motion unit). The default setting of the paper feed
amount is 1/6 inch (n=60). The maximum line spacing amount is 40 inches. When standard mode is selected,
the vertical motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode is selected, the vertical or horizontal motion
unit set by GS P is used for the print direction set by ESC T.
● The line spacing can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode.
● The basic calculated pitch is set by GSP (Set basic calculated pitch). Also, after setting the line space, it is not
affected even if the basic calculated pitch is changed.
● If the calculation results in fractions, the pitch is corrected to a minimal mechanical pitch and the rest is
discarded.
● In standard mode, the basic calculated pitch (y) for the vertical direction is used.
● In page mode, the basic calculated pitch that is used according to the starting point varies.
a. When the starting point is specified to be upper left or lower right by the ESC T command (Character print
direction selection in page mode), the basic calculated pitch (x) for the horizontal direction is used.
b. When the starting point is specified to be upper right or lower left by the ESC T command (Character print
direction selection in page mode), the basic calculated pitch (y) for the horizontal direction is used.
● The maximum value that can be set for the line space is approximately 1,016mm (or 40 inches).
Specifications that exceed the maximum value are rounded off to that value.

Description:
ESC J n prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper n×(vertical or horizontal motion unit).
This command is used to temporarily feed a specific length without changing the line spacing set by other
commands. The maximum paper feed amount is 40 inches. When standard mode is selected, the vertical
motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode is selected, the vertical or horizontal motion unit set by
GS P is used fro the print direction set by ESC T.
Note:
● In standard mode, the basic calculated pitch (y) for the vertical direction is used.
● In page mode, the basic calculated pitch that is used according to the starting point varies.
a. When the starting point is specified to be upper left or lower right by the ESC T command (Character print
direction selection in page mode), the basic calculated pitch (x) for the horizontal direction is used.
b. When the starting point is specified to be upper right or lower left by the ESC T command (Character print
direction selection in page mode), the basic calculated pitch (y) for the horizontal direction is used.

n specifies the bit image(defined by command FS q) number.
m specifies the bit-image mode.
Details:
Flash bit image is a bit image defined in flash memory by FS q and printed by this command.
This command is ignored when the bit image is undefined.
This command is effective only when no data exists in the print buffer in standard mode.
Excluding upside-down printing, print modes (emphasized printing, double printing, double wide, double
tall, underlines, character sizes, black/white inverted printing and 90 degree clockwise rotation) are
unaffected.
If bit image specification is of a size that exceeds the print region, the data in the print region is targeted for
printing, but the excessive data is not printed.
This command feeds dots (for the height n of the NV bit image) in normal and double-width modes,
and (for the height of the NV bit image n x 2) in double-height and quadruple modes, regardless of
the line spacing specified by ESC 2 or ESC 3.
After printing the bit image, this command sets the print line feed and processes the subsequent data as
normal data.

Descriptions: Defines the specified flash bit image.
n specifies the number of NV bit images to define.
xL and xH specify the horizontal direction for one NV bit image (xL + xH x 256) x 8 dots.
yL and yH specify the vertical direction for one NV bit image (yL + yH x 256) x 8 dots.
Notes:
● There is the potential of damaging the non-volatile memory by overusing the command, so only use this
command once a day to write to the non-volatile memory.
● This command erases all previously defined NV bit images. The printer cannot redefine only one of several
data definitions that had been defined before. Therefore, all data must be resent.
● The printer may enter a BUSY state while writing data to the non-volatile memory when using this command.
While the printer is BUSY, the printer will stop receptions so data will not be received from the host
(including real-time commands).
● NV bit image is a bit image defined by this command in non-volatile memory and is printed by the FS p
(Print NV bit image) command.
● This command is effective only when processed at the top of the line when standard mode is being used.
● This command is effective when 7 bytes of FS to yH of the command are processed normally.
● When the amount of data exceeds the capacity left in the range defined by xL, xH, yL, yH, the printer only
processes the data in the defined range.
● This command is invalid when processing an argument that is out of the defined range with the initial NV bit
image data.
● The printer terminates processing of this command and starts writing data to the non-volatile memory if an
argument out of the defined range is processed on the second and subsequent NV bit image data. This
invalidates the NV bit image being defined (making it undefined), but the NV bit images prior to that are
valid.
● d specifies defined data. Bits that correspond to the dots to print are 1, and the bits that correspond to the dots
that are not printed are 0.
● An n number of NV bit images are defined in ascending order from 01H. Therefore, The first data of
[xLxHyLyHd1.dk] is an NV bit image of the number 01H. The final data of [xLxHyLyHd1.dk] is the NV bit
image of the number n. This matches with the NV bit image number that is specified for NV bit image
printing (by FS p).
● One NV bit image definition data is configured by [xL xH yL yH d1.dk]. Therefore, if defining only one NV
bit image data, n = 1. The data of [xL xH yL yH d1.dk] is processed only once. This uses ([data: (xL + xH x
256) x (yL + yH x 256) x 8] + [Data: 4]) of non-volatile memory.
● The printer is in a BUSY state just prior to writing to the non-volatile memory.
● The sending of ASB status and detection of status are not possible while processing this command even when
20
the ASB function is specified.
● When processing this command while defining a macro, the macro definition is terminated and the command
commences with processing.
● NV bit images that have been defined are not initialized by the ESC @ (Initialize printer), a reset or by
turning off the printer’s power.
● This command only defines the NV bit image, but it does not print it. To print an NV bit image, use FS p
(Print NV bit image).

Note:

● If the vertical and horizontal magnification ratios are outside the defined range, this command is ignored.
● In standard mode, the vertical direction is the paper feed direction; the horizontal direction traverses the
paper feed direction. Therefore, 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.
● The base line for characters is the same when there are characters having different vertical direction ratios in
the same line.
● The ESC ! (Batch specify print mode) command can also turn double-width and double-height modes on or
off, but the setting of the last received command is effective.

Description:
Specifies the character vertical direction position for the data expansion starting position using the relative
position based on the current point in page mode. This sets the position moved from the current position to [(nL
+ nH x 256) x basic calculated pitch] for the next data expanding starting position.
Note:
● When not in page mode, this command is ignored.
● If the direction below the current position is specified for the characters, specify a positive number; if the
25
direction above is specified, a negative number is used.
● Negative numbers are represented by the complement of 65536. For example, when moving in the upward
direction N pitches, use: nL + nH × 256 = 65536-N
● Specifications for relative positions that exceed the specified print region are ignored.
● The following operations occur depending on ESC T (Selecting the character printing direction in page
mode).
a. If the starting point is upper left or lower right, specify the relative position for the paper feed direction.
Use the basic calculated pitch (y) for the horizontal direction at this time.
b. If the starting point is upper right or lower left, specify the relative position for the paper feed in the
vertical direction. Use the basic calculated pitch (x) for the horizontal direction at this time.
● The basic calculated pitch is set by GSP (Set basic calculated pitch).
● If the calculation results in fractions, the pitch is corrected to a minimal mechanical pitch and the rest is
discarded.

m specifies a bar code system as follows:
27
Note:
For ①
● This command is quit by the NULL code.
● For UPC-A and UPC-E, a bar code is printed when 12 bytes of bar code data are input. Subsequent data is
processed as normal data.
● For JAN13 (EAN13), a bar code is printed when 13 bytes of bar code data are input. Subsequent data is
processed as normal data.
● For JAN8 (EAN8), a bar code is printed when 8 bytes of bar code data are input. Subsequent data is
processed as normal data.
● The data count for ITF bar codes is always even numbered. If the data count is odd numbered, the last data is
ignored.
For ②:
● n specifies the data count. n bytes from the next data is processed as bar code data.
● If n is outside of the defined region, the command is stopped and normal printing commences from
subsequent data.
When in standard mode:
● If d is outside of the defined region, only a paper feed is executed and normal printing commences from
subsequent data.
● If the horizontal width of the bar code exceeds the print region of one line, the paper is fed without printing
the bar code.
● Executes a paper feed for the height of the bar code (including HRI characters when HRI character printing is
specified) regardless of the line feed amount using the following commands.
a. ESC 2: Set default line spacing
b. ESC 3: Set line feed amount
● This command is effective only when no data exists in the print buffer. If there is data in the print buffer, data
after m is printed as normal data. Sets the next print position to the beginning of the next line after printing
the bar code.
● Excluding upside-down printing, print modes (emphasized printing, double printing, underlines character
sizes) are unaffected.
When in page mode:
● Executes only a bar code expansion but does not print it. After expanding the bar code, the next dot after the
last data of the bar code is the starting position for the expansion of subsequent data.
● If d is outside of the defined region, the command is stopped and normal printing commences from
subsequent data. The position for starting data expansion does not move.
● If the horizontal width of the bar code exceeds the print region of one line, the data expansion starting
position is moved to the left side outside the printing region without printing the bar code.
