However, the value cannot be less than the minimum vertical movement
amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum vertical movement amount.
4) In standard mode, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
5) In page mode, this command functions as follows, depending on the starting
position of the printable area:
When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable

[Notes]
1) If the values of m is out of the specified range, nL and data following are
processed an normal data.
2) The nL and nH indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal
direction.
3) The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH * 256.
4) If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the
excess data is ignored.
5) d indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or to 0 to
not print a dot.
6) 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):
The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate the amount
of data.
If step does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin is reduced to
accommodate the data.
7) After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing
mode.
8) This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, double-strike,
underline, character size or White/Black reverse printing), except upside-down
printing mode.
9) The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as
follows;

[Notes]
1) This command ends with a NUL code.
2) When the bar code system used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar
code data after receiving 12 bytes bar code data and processes the following data as
normal data.
3) When the bar code system used in EAN13, the printer prints the bar code after
receiving 13 bytes bar code data and processes the following data as normal data.
4) When the bar code system used in EAN8, the printer prints the bar code
after receiving 8 bytes bar code data and processes following data as normal data.
5) The number of data for ITF bar code must be even numbers.
When an odd number of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.

During transmission, if C0H, C1H, and/or 7DH are contained in data field, 7DH
should be inserted before the data and the data should be XOR with 20H and sent.
During reception, if 7DH is encountered, 7DH should be ignored and the next byte
should be XOR with 20H and stored.

Inquiry of
Printer Status
Response of
Printer Status
It is recommended that the host send the same inquiry up to 5 times with 400ms time
interval in case of no response from the printer.
8.2.1. Frame Format.
Inquiry of printer status
0xC0
0xC0
0x51
0xC1
Response of printer status
0x53
Status (1 Byte)

0xC1
☆ IMPORTANT !!
This function is not yet implemented fully. Currently the status byte is fixed to 0x02.
However, this process can be used to check the communication.

NACK frame
Resending
Print Data frame
In normal operation, after receiving the print data frame, the printer sends
EOT, prints out the data, and sends ETX. And it will wait for the next frame.
Conditions of NACK frame issued
1)
Different checksum value
2)
No data byte received 200ms after the previous byte received
3)
No EOF (End of frame) at the end
4)
No predefined number in Data Length field

Data ID number : ‘0’∼‘9’(0x30~0x39). Every time the host sends a new
print data frame, it increases this number.
Data Length : “0001” ∼ “9999”. Each number must be an ascii code.
Checksum : 2 bytes. The first byte is the result of XOR of even number of
data in Print data field and the second byte is that of odd number.
(Example) If “SAMPLE TEST” is in Print Data field, the data length will be
“0011 (0x30 0x30 0x31 0x31)” and the first byte of checksum will
be the result of XOR of S, M, L, space, E, and T and the second
byte that of A, P, E, T, and S.
It is recommended that the host goes back to the initial stage in case
that it receives neither EOT nor NACK from the printer 1 sec after it has
sent the print data frame.
8.3.2. Format of ENQ Frame.
C0H
0x05
C1H
It is recommended that the host send the same ENQ frame up to 10 times with 400ms
time interval in case of no response from the printer.

Printer will send this frame after it finishes all of the requested printing.
8.3.6. Format of EOT Frame.
C0H
0x04
C1H
Printer will send this frame after it receives the print data frame successfully.
☆ IMPORTANT !!
In every frame coming from the printer, 1 Byte of Null is preceded to SOF,
and CR and LF are followed by EOF.
For example, the actual data of ETX frame is 0x00, 0xC0, 0x03, 0xC1, 0x0D,
and 0x0A. The host can ignore these prefix and suffixes.

Appendix
A. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
1. Printer mechanism handling
1) Do not pull the paper out when the cover is closed.
2) Because the thermal elements of the print head and driver ICs are easy to break, so do not
touch them with any metal objects.
3) Since the areas around the print head become very hot during and just after printing, do not
touch them.
4) Do not use the cover open button except when necessary.
5) Do not touch the surface of the print head because bust and dirt can stick to the surface and
damage the elements.
6) Thermal paper containing Na, K, Cl ions can harm the print head thermal elements.
Therefore, be sure to use only the specified paper.
7) If you want to use label paper, please contact your dealer for assistance.
2. Thermal paper handling
- Notes on using thermal paper
Chemicals and oil on thermal paper may cause discoloration and faded printing.
Therefore, pay attention to the following;
1) Use water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste, or CMC paste when gluing thermal paper.
2) Volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester, and ketone can cause discoloration.
3) Some adhesive tapes may cause discoloration or faded printing.
4) If thermal paper touches anything which includes phthalic acid ester plasticizer for a long
time, it can reduce the image formation ability of the paper and can cause the printed image to
fade. Therefore, when storing thermal paper in a card case or sample notebook, be sure to use
only products made from polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyester.
5) If thermal paper touches diazo copy paper immediately after copying, the printed surface
may be discolored.
6) Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each
other because the printing may be transferred between the surfaces.

7) If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a hard metal object
such as a nail, the paper may become discolored.
- Notes on thermal paper storage
Since color development begins at 70°C (158°F), thermal paper should be protected
from high temperature, humidity, and light, both before and after printing.
1) Store paper away from high temperature and humidity.
Do not store thermal paper near a heater or in enclosed places exposed to direct sunlight.
2) Avoid direct light Extended exposure to direct light may cause discoloration or faded
printing.
3. Others
Because this printer uses plated steel, the manual cutting edge may be subject to rust.
However, this does not affect the printer performance.
