2 Command List
A command set describes the behavior of the printer when sequences of bytes are received through the communication interface. The command set available with LR2000 is ESC/POS®.
It is a standard defined by Seiko Epson Corporation. ESC/POS® commands can be classified as executing or setting. An executing command cause the printer to execute something and does not affect further incoming data. On the other hand, a setting command cause the printer to change its internal flags that may affect incoming data. ESC/POS® commands supported by
LR2000 are summarized in the following table.

3 Command Set Details
This section presents detailed information about each ESC/POS® command implemented by the LR2000 printer. Some terms used in the description of ESC/POS command set need further explanation, as described below.
Print buffer: a buffer that stores the image data to be printed.
Print buffer full: the state where the print buffer is full. If new print data is input while the print buffer is full, the data in the print buffer is printed out and a line feed is executed. This is the same operation as the LF operation.
Start of line: a state that satisfies the following conditions:
Print buffer is empty.
There is no data to print (including portions of data skipped due to HT).
The print position has not been specified by the ESC $ or ESC \ command.
Printable area: the maximum space available for printing. The printable area under
ESC/POS for LR2000 is specified by horizontal direction (72mm or 2.84”).
Printing area: a value set by the command. It must be always less than or equal to printable area.
Ignore: a state in which all codes, including parameters, are read in and discarded, and nothing happens.
MSB: Most Significant Bit
LSB: Least Significant Bit
HT
[Name]
[Format]
Horizontal tab
ASCII HT
Hex 09
Decimal 9
[Description] Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
[Notes]
This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.
If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer sets the printing position to [printing area width + 1].
Horizontal tab positions are set with ESC D.
If this command is received when the printing position is at [printing area width + 1], the printer executes print buffer-full printing of the current line and horizontal tab processing from the beginning of the next line.

4
[Description] Transmits the selected printer status specified by n in real-time, according to the following parameters: n = 1: Transmit printer status n = 2: Transmit offline status n = 3: Transmit error status n = 4: Transmit paper roll sensor status
[Notes]
The status is transmitted whenever the data sequence <10>H<04>H<n>
(1
n
4) is received.
Example:
LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
In ESC
m nL nH d1...dk, d1=<10>H, d2=<04>H, d3=<01>H
Do not use this command within another command that consists of 2 or more bytes.
Example:
If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host computer) goes to MARK before n is transmitted and then DLE EOT 3 interrupts before n is received, the code <10>H for DLE EOT 3 is processed as the code for ESC 3 <10>H.
The printer transmits the current status. Each status item is represented by one-byte of data.
The printer transmits the status without confirming whether the host computer can receive data.
The printer executes this command upon receiving it.
This command is executed even when the printer is offline, the receive buffer is full, or there is an error status with a serial interface model.
With a parallel interface model, this command cannot be executed when the printer is busy. This command is executed even when the printer is offline or in error status, with a parallel interface model.
When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using the GS a command, the status transmitted by the DLE EOT command and the ASB status must be differentiated. n = 1: Printer status

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0 n Request
1 Recover from an error and restart printing from the line where the error occurred
[Notes]
2 Recover from an error at clearing the receive and print buffers
This command is effective only when an auto cutter error, a black mark detecting error or a platen-open error occurs.
The printer starts processing data upon receiving this command.
This command is executed even when the printer is offline, the receive buffer is full, or there is an error status with a serial interface model.
With a parallel interface model, this command cannot be executed when the printer is busy.
The status is also transmitted whenever the data sequence of <10>H<05>H<n> (1
n
2) is received.
Example:
In ESC
m nL nH dk, d1 = <10>H, d2 = <05>H, d3 = <01>H
This command should not be contained within another command that consists of two or more bytes.
Example:
If you attempt to transmit ESC 3 n to the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host computer) goes to MARK before n is transmitted, and DLE ENQ 2 interrupts before n is received, the code <10>H for DLE ENQ 2 is processed as the code for ESC 3
<10>H.
DLE ENQ 2 enables the printer to recover from an error after clearing the data in the receive buffer and the print buffer. The printer retains the settings (byESC !,
ESC 3, etc.) that were in effect when the error occurred. The printer can be initialized completely by using this command and ESC @. This command is enabled only for errors that have the possibility of recovery, except for print head temperature error.

[Notes]
The allowable character code range is from ASCII code <20>H to <7E>H (95 characters).
It is possible to define multiple characters for consecutive character codes. If only one character is desired, use c1 = c2.
d is the dot data for the characters. The dot pattern is in the horizontal direction from the left side. Any remaining dots on the right side are blank.
The data to define user-defined characters is (y×x) bytes.
Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or 0 not to print a dot.
This command can define different user-defined character patterns for each font.
To select a font, use ESC ! or ESC M.
User-defined characters and a downloaded bit image cannot be defined simultaneously. When this command is executed, the downloaded bit image is cleared.
The user-defined character definition is cleared when:
1) ESC @ is executed.
2) GS
is executed.
3) ESC ? is executed.
4) The power is turned off.

[Notes]
LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
If the value of m is out of the specified range, nL and the data following are processed as normal data.
The nL and nH indicate the number of dots in the bit image in the horizontal direction. The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH
256.
If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the excess data is ignored.
d indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or to 0 not to print a dot.
If the width of the printing area set by GS L and GS W less than the width required by the data sent with the ESC
command, the following will be performed on the line in question (but the printing cannot exceed the maximum printable area):
① The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate the amount of data.
② If step ① does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin is reduced to accommodate the data.
For each bit of data in single-density mode (m = 0, 32), the printer prints two dots: for each bit of data in double-density mode (m = 1, 33), the printer prints one dot. This must be considered in calculating the amount of data that can be printed in one line.
After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing mode.
This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike,underline, character size, or white/black reverse printing), except upside-down printing mode.
The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is described in
Figure 3.11.3.

[Notes]
The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width
n] measured from the beginning of the line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing, and double-width characters are set with twice the width of normal characters.
This command cancels the previous horizontal tab settings.
When setting n = 8, the print position is moved to column 9 by sending HT.
Up to 32 tab positions (k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab positions is processed as normal data.
Transmit [n]k in ascending order and place a NUL code 0 at the end.
When [n]k is less than or equal to the preceding value [n]k-1, tab setting is finished and the following data is processed as normal data.
ESC D NUL cancels all horizontal tab positions.
The previously specified horizontal tab positions do not change, even if the character width changes.

n is the number of the NV bit image (defined using the FS q command).
m specifies the bit image mode.
[Detail]
NV bit image is a bit image defined in non-volatile memory by FS q and printed by
FS p.
This command is not effective when the specified NV bit image has not been defined.
In standard mode, this command is effective only when there is no data in the print buffer.
LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, underline, character size, white/black reverse printing, or 90
rotated characters, etc.), except upsidedown printing mode.
If the printing area width set by GS L and GS W for the NV bit image is less than one vertical line, the following processing is performed only on the line in question.
However, in NV bit image mode, one vertical line means 1 dot in normal mode
(m
0, 48) and in double-height mode (m
2, 50), and it means 2 dots in doublewidth mode (m
1, 49) and in quadruple mode (m
3, 51).
① The printing area width is extended to the right in NV bit image mode up to one line vertically. In this case, printing does not exceed the printable area.
② If the printing area width cannot be extended by one line vertically, the left margin is reduced to accommodate one line vertically.
If the downloaded bit-image to be printed exceeds one line, the excess 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 n
2 of the NV bit image) in doubleheight 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 position to the beginning of the line and processes the data that follows as normal data.

[Notes]
LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
Frequent write command executions may damage the NV memory. Therefore, it is recommended to write the NV memory 10 times or less a day.
The printer performs a hardware reset after the procedure to place the image into the NV memory. Therefore, user-defined characters, downloaded bit images, and macros should be defined only after completing this command. The printer clears the receive and print buffers and resets the mode to the mode that was in effect at power on. At this time, DIP switch settings are checked again.
This command cancels all NV bit images that have already been defined by this command.
From the beginning of the processing of this command till the finish of hardware reset, mechanical operations (including initializing the position of the print head when the cover is open, paper feeding using the FEED button, etc.) cannot be performed.
During processing of this command, the printer is BUSY when writing data to the user NV memory and stops receiving data. Therefore it is prohibited to transmit the data, including real-time commands, during the execution of this command.
NV bit image is a bit image defined in non-volatile memory by FS q and printed by
FS p.
In standard mode, this command is effective only when processed at the beginning of the line.
This command is effective when 7 bytes <FS
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 processes xL, xH, yL, yH out of the defined range.
In the first group of NV bit images, when any of the parameters xL, xH, yL, yH is out of the definition range, this command is disabled.
In groups of NV bit images other than the first one, when the printer encounters xL, xH, yL, yH out of the defined range, it stops processing this command and starts writing into the NV images. At this time, NV bit images that haven’t been defined are disabled (undefined), but any NV bit images before that are enabled.
The d indicates the definition data. In data (d) a 1 bit specifies a dot to be printed and a 0 bit specifies a dot not to be printed.
This command defines n as the number of a NV bit image. Numbers rise in order from NV bit image 01H. Therefore, the first data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image 01H, and the last data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image n. The total agrees with the number of NV bit images specified by the command FS p.
The definition data for an NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1...dk].Therefore, when only one NV bit image is defined n=1, the printer processes a data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] once. The printer uses ([data: (xL
xH ×
256)×(yL
yH ×
256)×8]
[header :4]) bytes of NV memory.
The definition area in this printer is a maximum of 192K bytes. This command can define several NV bit images, but cannot define bit image data whose total capacity
[bit image data
header] exceeds 192K bytes.
LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
The printer does not transmit ASB status or perform status detection during processing of this command even when ASB is specified.
When this command is received during macro definition, the printer ends macro definition, and begins performing this command.
Once an NV bit image is defined, it is not erased by performing ESC @, reset, and power off.
This command performs only definition of an NV bit image and does not perform printing. Printing of the NV bit image is performed by the FS p command.

If the width of the printing area set by GS L and GS W is less than the width required by the data sent with the GS / command; the following will be performed on the line in question (but the printing cannot exceed the maximum printable area)
① The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate the amount of data.
② If step ① does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin is reduced to accommodate the data.
For each bit of data in normal mode (m = 0,48) and double-height mode (m = 2,
50), the printer prints one dot: for each bit of data in double-width mode (m = 1, 49) and quadruple mode (m = 3, 15), the printer prints two dots.

If the setting exceeds the printable area, the maximum value of the printable area is used.
The setting by GS L takes precedence over the setting by GS W. If the [left margin

If the width set for the printing area is less than the width of one character, when the character data is developed, the following processing is performed:
① The printing area width is extended to the right to accommodate one character.
LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
② If the printing area width cannot be extended sufficiently, the left margin is reduced to accommodate one character.
③ If the printing area width cannot be extended sufficiently, the right space is reduced.
If the width set for the printing area is less than one vertical line, the following processing is performed only on the line in question when data other than character data (e.g., bit image, user-defined bit image) is developed:
① The printing area width is extended to the right to accommodate one line vertical for the bit image within the printable area.
② If the printing area width cannot be extended sufficiently, the left margin is reduced to accommodate one vertical line.

[Notes]
If any of the status items in the table above are enabled, the printer transmits the status when this command is executed. The printer automatically transmits the status whenever the enabled status item changes. The disabled status items may change, in this case, because each status transmission represents the current status.
If all status items are disabled, the ASB function is also disabled.
If the ASB is enabled as a default, the printer transmits the status when the printer data reception and transmission are possible at the first time from when the printer is turned on.
The following four status bytes are transmitted without confirming whether the host is ready to receive data. The four status bytes must be consecutive, except for the
XOFF code.
Since this command is executed after the data is processed in the receive buffer, there may be a time lag between data reception and status transmission.
When using DLE EOT, or GS r, the status transmitted by these commands and
ASB status must be differentiated.
The status items to be transmitted are as follows:

[Notes for ①]
This command ends with a NUL code.
When the bar code system used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar code data after receiving 12 bytes of bar code data and processes the following data as normal data.
When the bar code system used is JAN13 (EAN13), the printer prints the bar code after receiving 13 bytes of bar code data and processes the following data as normal data.
When the bar code system used is JAN8 (EAN8), the printer prints the bar code after receiving 8 bytes of bar code data and processes the following data as normal data.
The number of data for the ITF bar code must be even numbers. When an odd number of bytes of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.
[Notes for ②]
n indicates the number of bar code data bytes, and the printer processes n bytes from the next character data as bar code data.
If n is outside the specified range, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.
[Notes in standard mode]
If d is outside the specified range, the printer only feeds paper and processes the following data as normal data.
If the horizontal size exceeds printing area, the printer only feeds the paper.
This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the bar code, regardless of the line spacing specified by ESC 2 or ESC 3.
This command is enabled only when no data exists in the print buffer. When data exists in the print buffer, the printer processes the data following m as normal data.
After printing the bar code, this command sets the print position to the beginning of the line.
This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike, underline, character size, white/black reverse printing, or 90
rotated character, etc.), except for upside-down printing mode.

[Notes]
When using a serial interface
When DTR/DSR control is selected, the printer transmits only 1 byte after confirming the host is ready to receive data (DSR signal is SPACE). If the host computer is not ready to receive data (DSR signal is MARK), the printer waits until the host is ready.
When XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer transmits only 1 byte without confirming the condition of the DSR signal.
This command is executed when the data in the receive buffer is developed.
Therefore, there may be a time lag between receiving this command and transmitting the status, depending on the receive buffer status.
When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled using GS a, the status transmitted by GS
r and the ASB status must be differentiated using.

[Notes]
In standard mode, this command is effective only when there is no data in the print buffer.
This command is not affected by print modes (character size, emphasized, doublestrike, upside-down, underline, white/black reverse printing, etc.) for raster bit image.
If the printing area width set by GS L and GS W is less than the minimum width, the printing area is extended to the minimum width only on the line in question. The minimum width means 1 dot in normal (m=0, 48) and double-height (m=2, 50), 2 dots in double-width (m=1, 49) and quadruple (m=3, 51) modes.
Data outside the printing area is read in and discarded on a dot-by-dot basis.
The position at which subsequent characters are to be printed for raster bit image is specified by HT (Horizontal Tab), ESC $ (Set absolute print position), ESC \ ( Set relative print position), and GS L (Set left margin ). If the position at which subsequent characters are to be printed is a multiple of 8.
LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
The ESC a (Select justification) setting is also effective on raster bit images.
When this command is received during macro definition, the printer ends macro definition, and begins performing this command. The definition of this command should be cleared.
d indicates the bit-image data. Setting a bit to 1 prints a dot and setting it to 0 does not print a dot.

LR2000 Programming Manual V1.0
PAGE MODE COMMANDS
The printer operates in two print modes: standard mode and page mode. In standard mode, the printer prints and feeds paper each time it receives print data or paper feed commands. In page mode, all the received print data and paper feed commands are processed in the specified memory, and no printing action is executed. All data in the memory is then printed when an
ESC FF or FF command is received.
For example, when the printer receives the data "ABCDEF12345" and <LF> in standard mode, it prints "ABCDEF12345" and feeds the paper by one line. In page mode, data "ABCDEF12345" is written to the specified printing area in memory. The position in memory for the next print data is shifted by one line.
The ESC L command sets the printer into page mode, and all commands received thereafter are processed in page mode. Executing an ESC FF command prints the received data collectively, and executing an FF command restores the printer to standard mode after the received data is printed collectively. Executing an ESC S command restores the printer to standard mode without printing the data in page mode memory. The received data is cleared from memory instead.

[Notes]
If this command is input in standard mode, the printer executes only internal flag operation. This command does not affect printing in standard mode.
If the horizontal or vertical starting position is set outside the printable area, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.
If the printing area width or height is set to 0, the printer stops command processing and processes the following data as normal data.
This command sets the position where data is buffered to the position specified by
ESC T within the printing area.
If (horizontal starting position + printing area width) exceeds the printable area,the printing area width is automatically set to (horizontal printable area -horizontal starting position).
If (vertical starting position + printing area height) exceeds the printable area,the printing area height is automatically set to (vertical printable area – vertical starting position).
Use 0.141 mm (0.0055") pitch for setting the horizontal starting position and printing area width, and use 0.141 mm pitch for setting the vertical starting position and printing area height.
When the horizontal starting position, vertical starting position, printing area width, and printing area height are defined as X, Y, Dx, and Dy respectively, the printing area is set as shown in the figure below.

[Notes]
This command has enabled only when processed at the beginning of a line in standard mode.
This command is no effect in page mode.
When this command is received during macro definition, the printer ends macro definition and begins performing this command.
After the test print is finished, the printer resets itself automatically. Therefore, data already defined before this command is executed, such as user-defined characters, downloaded bit image, and macro, becomes undefined;
The printer cuts the paper at the end of the test print.
The printer goes BUSY while this command is executed.

sa, sb, sn, sr and sc are all displayed in ASCII characters, using the codes for “0” to
“9.”
[Notes]
sa and sb specify the counter range.
sn indicates the stepping amount for counting up or down.

Counting stops when: sa = sb or sn = 0 or sr = 0
When count-up mode is specified, sa is the minimum counter value and sb is the maximum counter value. If counting up reaches a value exceeding the maximum, it is resumed with the minimum value. If the counter value set by sc is outside the counter operation range, the counter value is forced to convert to the minimum value by executing GS c.
When count-down mode is specified, sa is the maximum counter value and sb is the minimum counter value. If counting down reaches a value less than the minimum, it is resumed with the maximum value. If the counter value set by sc is outside the counter operation range, the counter value is forced to convert to the maximum value by executing GS c.
Parameters sa to sc can be omitted. If omitted, these argument values are unchanged.
Parameters sa to sc must not contain characters, except 0 to 9.
If an incorrect syntax is used, the corresponding parameter setting has no effect, and the data after that is processed as normal data.

[Notes]
After setting the current counter value in the print buffer as print data (a character string), the printer counts up or down based on the count mode set.The counter value in the print buffer is printed when the printer receives a print command or is in the buffer-full state.
The counter print mode is set by GS C 0.
The counter mode is set by GS C1 or GS C.
In count-up mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter operation range set by GS C1 or GS C ;, it is forced to convert to the minimum value.
In count-down mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter operation range set by GS C1 or GS C ;, it is forced to convert to the maximum value.
